Absolutely adore this game. Not sure if I want to spend 220 bucks for a g27 wheel, especially if it's only for this game, but it sure tempts me.

The audio of the co-driver as he calls out his pace notes is my favorite part I think. Nothing better than being told to be brave as you take a turn.

Edit: As someone who sucks, does anyone who's very experienced with the game mind writing down which cars to use in each class for those of us who haven't invested enough time to really get a feel for each one?

I'll actually give you a pro-tip, skip the G27 and just go for something more expensive and save yourself the trouble of upgrading later.

Edit: I have a 12 month old G27 for sale for 150$ shipped. It has a Nixie spring mod in the pedals which guarantees 3 seconds off any lap time and a rock hard johnson.

Edit: I always recommend people listen to Royal John's opinions on realism starting at 27:00 ish. It shits all over AC/PCars/GT etc.

If Pike's peak is the only hill climb you know or care about, then you are a pleb animal. transfagarasan on Assetto Corsa and rfactor2 is a dream.
