https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uCN4IUEq0U Eurogamer are having an Asseto Corsa championship. I need to build a PC to race pretend cars with  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-03-04-eurogamer-assetto-corsa-championship-explained As teased in yesterday's trailer, today we fully unveil a special streaming event we'll be running on Eurogamer in the coming months. It's a racing championship put together by our friends at Eurogamer Italy, who often run competitive events on their Twitch channel - this time, they decided to go big, and asked our help to promote it, which we gladly agreed to. Here's the event organiser, Matteo, to explain: As you may have guessed from yesterday's trailer, the Eurogamer Assetto Corsa Championship will be a live event played on the Kunos simulator, and broadcast with English commentary on Eurogamer Italy's Twitch channel. This will be no ordinary event: it has taken six months to prepare it, and to put together a line-up of sponsors and teams. We partnered with SimracingZone.net, a portal that has managed sim-racing events since 2007, and it's thanks to their expertise that we've been able to produce a sim-racing event like this.

Did I schedule wrong? It's supposed to be an hour before that. Unless you mean that's too much racing for one day. Edit: Yeah, I'm an idiot, I forgot iRacing shows my local time, not GMT.

I completely missed it, but apparently Thomas Jackermeier let it slip last month that Fanatec is working on a DD wheel. Not that I'm gonna switch anytime soon, but assuming I could just mount it right on my current CSL seat and keep using my rims that makes it already way more interesting to me than the other solutions on the market. Such is the way of buying into an eco-system.

They just released (or are shortly releasing) the CSW v2.5. As nice as it is that Fanatec stuff all works together, I think I'm done with them. My shifter fell victim to their terrible electronics design. Ohsh is having issues with his wheel. My last Fanatec wheel died shortly before I got my clubsport v2. I currently have a SHH shifter which is decent enough but feels kind of chintzy. Though it is industrial 3D printed plastic, so that might have something to do with it. It still works fine and I might just adjust the tension a bit. I'm also gonna try to make my own controller for my broken Fanatec shifter with an arduino.

I've heard enough people have issues with Fanatec pedals to never have any interest in them, that's before the ridiculous European price gouging.

Yeah, my experience with Fanatec has been pretty bad too. My wheel and shifter have both needed repair (the shifter twice), and their support is atrocious.

If you have stuff that works, Fanatec is great. You can get a whole package that works together. Then something breaks.

Assetto Corsa now has a pit menu. One you can bring up anytime and use with the dpad/stick on your wheel. Someone hold me, the world is ending.

They also added reverse grids to multiplayer and seem to be close to making driver swaps work. I'm scared, if they add a day/night cycle and timed races AC might actually be a half-decent endurance racing game.

I've been playing daily dirt rally races almost every day since that game was in early access. Its my most played game on steam, and apparently my gateway drug. I picked up assetto corsa and the dlc during last weekend's sale and I'm in love. I've been playing it every chance I get. Its amazingly fun. I'm kind of surprised it doesn't have it's own thread. I'm insanely jealous of all you wheel-havers. I have dreams of one day turning a large closet into my fake car cave with VR headset and sparko seat and fancy wheel. In the meantime I'm stuck with a steam controller, TV and couch. I've been using the gyro feature of my steam controller as my wheel. It took some getting used to but I'm advancing through the career challenges now pretty confidently and having a great time. I don't really use it like a wheel, I just sort of tilt it and use the in-game wheel as my guide. Its far superior to the stick once you get used to it, and you can play your racing sim while slouched on the couch. I liked this driving style so much I even converted my dirt rally controls to the same config. (I usually finish daily races in the 300th place range so I'm not god-awful) I might have to try raceroom again with this gyro steering setup. Just wanted to share my experience with anyone else out there who's interested in sim racing but un-willing to shell out the dough for the cool hardware. I found a cheap way to play and I've been enjoying it so much I've only really been playing dirt and AC. Other good stuff I've been meaning to play like DO4M has been taking a back seat to my precious fake cars. V Cool. I'll try join you guys on discord just to listen to car talk.

I have a cheap wheel (T150) but even that's a game changer. I didn't realize how much the force feedback changes the way I play. The small things (pull to center when rounding a corner and such) that really made it for me.

It's mostly race cars, but they also have spec cars like Caterham (kinda road cars) Lancer, Camaro, Boxer, and there are mods available as well.

The street Camaro, street versions of the Caterhams and Ultima GTR are there but yeah the focus is 99% race cars. I'm happy to see Hockenheim coming since it's not in enough games, but i wish i was surprised to hear that the 2017 F1 car isnt making the end of April date. I can't think of any estimated release date that Reiza have managed to hit. Not that they're alone in that (hi big rF2 update that's now 3 months behind schedule) but it is depressingly predictable at this point.

I was thinking about getting a wheel but literal mountains of complaints and negative reviews about Thrustmaster wheels and T300 especially really have put me off for now... I guess if I do end up buying it I'm going to get one from local shop - even if it's much more expensive I can at least replace/return it more easily. Or is it mostly overblown and Thrustmaster has fixed whatever issues at this point?

I have a t300 that was used heavily for about 12 months and is still occasionally used. What are the complaints because I have none. The pedals are lame and should be upgraded when you can, and I wish it had more buttons, but those aren't major issues or anything.

It's really hard to judge reliability based on the internet. For the longest time it was Fanatec getting all the complaints, now Thrustmaster seems to be getting up there as well. I suspect it's got a lot to do with them getting into the higher end market and thus in a space where expectations are (rightfully) higher as well. Not that there aren't real issues with design and manufacture, mind. Anyway, if you want to play these games you should get a wheel. Most people advice to start cheap, but given that resell value is really high for sim racing hardware I don't know why you shouldn't treat yourself if you have the means. Edit: Which reminds me: Keep all the boxes and stuff for a while. It makes a ton of difference if your ebay auction has everything neatly arranged in the pictures.

Oh no, everyone seems to recommend T300 as great wheel, it's just there seemed to be unreasonable amount of units that stop working and then replacement drops dead etc. When I googled for reviews and opinions on wheels this seemed to crop up in about every thread...
