The CSR wheel is what I use. I bought it for the reason of having a wheel for 360 and PC too but I never liked how the wheel felt on Xbox. It just never felt comfortable to race with but that's my personal opinion. If you can, try and save a bit more money on the Elite pedals. They're load cell which means the braking feels a lot more realistic and is easier to know what will cause locking up.

What do you have i.e. pedals, wheel, stand, shifter etc?

I have the CSR Wheel, CSR Shifters, CSR Elite Pedals and an old GameRacer cockpit. You can buy the three CSR products to the left in a bundle for a cheaper price. I'm going to upgrade to a Clubsport when I can since I never use it for the 360.

Think I will go for the bundle with the wheel, elite pedals, and shifter and then get the stand as well. The advantage with my laptop is that I would be able to hook it up to my big TV and play it on there.

the wheel I got is thrustmaster Ferrari 458 wheel, for the 360, its good apart from it doesn't have force feedback but I got used to it

Since a new pc would take up much of my budget I won't be able to get a fanatec or logitech g27 wheel etc right away. Have you got any recommendations for cheaper wheels?

Hmm... The only one I can think of is a Logitech DFGT. They're a really good bargain for the quality you get and it's very popular. I think they go for around £120-£160

Just a question as I'm curious. Who here at TORA has iRacing?

I may be wrong with a few people but so far I think there is:

LMR Zakspeed
D4RR3N 3579
CQR Magictap
CQR Dogskii
CQR Jono
CQR Champion
CQR SENNA
The Posimosh
DangerDave49
Midnight LMR
LMR Agera
johnny2shoes

I think Richy, VAMR Wilson and a couple others have accounts but haven't played in quite some time

Chaddy has iRacing as I raced with him in week 13 but I don't think he has been on in a while.

Never knew that :)It would be fun to have maybe a one off event with all the TORA lads. I know that CQR are doing well in the British Sim Racers BTCC and I think they race the UK&I Skip Barber Series. LMR have at least 2-3 people in the process of building PC's to make the jump over and we've got another 4 guys from iRacing who joined us. Most of LMR race the official series though like the iGPS or the GT3 Challenge.

I'd be more than happy to set-up the event. It's only about €3-4 for a big session. There is a bit of money to be made for leagues on iRacing. I know that the Enduro Pro Series has an entry fee and in turn has made up a $500 grand prize. Who knows, maybe TORA could be the place to race on iRacing in the future  

Yeah definately if we could get a few of us together a one off event would be great. I did try the BSR BTCC but I don't really like the KIA so I stop racing it. I'm just trying to get the next license so I can race something other than the Mazda.

Also Rusty Laidler is on iRacing.

We're getting a new computer here soon so in the coming months I should be ready to go for iRacing   

I also signed up right now but not had chance to play it really, been sorting out some things at home, hopefully I can get back into it. They also got 3 months for the price of 1 month offer which i went for.

Looks like PLOW TheButcher may be making his racing return soon on iRacing too

^^^ Really be good see Andy!

@ Magic.
Nice to see you guys are kicking butt on Iracing, my mate Bradley Selmes (Might have heard him in BTCC) We go to college together and it was strange when he was describing a race he was in and the name Sutton and Laidler came up.

Small world Steven! I've seen Bradley on the BSR TV coverage, he's in the Airwaves racing livery car

Yeah it is. Apparently he is pretty quick so i have heard, tempted to get on-board with Iracing now that the Porsche *Cough* RUF *Cough* is now in the game doesn't it take a while to get into GT3 style racing?

We should create a spreadsheet with everyone's gamertag and then there iRacing name.

How quickly you get the required license to race GT3 cars like the RUF in official races depends on how many incidents you make during races. However you could join a hosted league where you only need a rookie license to race any of the available cars.

whats cost of setting up our own league?

I believe it's $10 dollars but I'm probably wrong. However you don't need to set up a league to run your own races. It's $1 to host a session for 2 hours which can be whatever you want. A race, practice, qualifying or whatever.
