    Suh-weet!!!

    My track dream car is gen 1 599XX, not the EVO variant, but I wouldn't give that one back if Santa left it under my tree!

    By the way, did you say that you can buy a three-pedal set up?

    Yep, you can have three pedals. In fact, I just upgraded mine to what's called a load spring pedal, think of it as having 80 pounds of pressure now when using your break. By doing that, it allows me to use my old brake for a clutch. Just don't know if I will use it since I hardly drive cars without F1 style clutch. Plus, you can always use paddles for older cars.

    It was well worth the upgrade. Completely different feel but is good. I would love to try one of the hydrologic ones.

    I also ended up joining a league that runs weekly which has been a blast. I just finished our Sunday race. A few guys in the league are full time race drivers and offer really good advice.

    I just ran across this thread... I run both Iracing and Asseto Corsa - I like all the different cars you can get ... i usually run Goodwood vintage stuff, and then I have tons of F-1 cars from the 50's - to current era, my favorite is 641 from 1990... from Sim dream... the sound is great!
    love to catch up with some Fchat guys on line to race with ... ping me if any interest - either on I racing or Asseto corsa.

    are you running Content manager? or AC direct on stream?

    That's awesome. Can you give details on the build. Also, have you ever tried Oculus goggles with your set up. I wonder if it adds an other dimension to the immersion compared to the monitors.
