Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    Sim racing is very similar. Started off with a $150 wheel, then $300 with $300 “rig” and $200 pedals.

    Now I have something like a $8-10k rig with bass shakers, hue lights and the works.

    I just dick around in dirt rally and ATS

      I bet it still doesn’t come close to simulating real driving.

        I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean but even Max Verstappen and a lot of real life drivers all use SimRacing to learn tracks and hone skills.

        Conversely there’s also been SimRacers who went on to become real race car drivers.

        You’re not going to feel g forces but there are motion kits out there that will really bring it to the next level. Just look up dbox simracing
