Well I found a pretty good deal on newegg for some 27" monitors, Asus 27" 2ms monitors, they should go nice with the new 290x . They sure make my old 24" look small!
Its pretty realistic. you need to earn license and have to maintain it by keeping a good safety record. there is no outside camera only cockpit. its a nice sim. the most realistic i have played by a long shot. and i have been sim racing for decades. it has pretty much all the tracks you would ever want and alot of cars along with the best sim community.
yeah alot of real racers use it. it is pretty awesome. its subscription based though. also after your license starts to go up as you race more of the rookie series you will need to purchase the cars for the next class and tracks and so on. its cheaper than real racing though:shrug:
