+1. Worth investing in the better Fanatec products right from the start. The dimmension towards realism is the goal vs. a cheap wheel, pedal, you won't quit in the first few hours.

For sim, couldn't advise for the left turners but for road courses and online league, GPL and R-factor has been my fave. GPL is ancient classic and still terrific. R-factor to me is probably the closest to realism, but not like the glossiness of graphics and arcade style. Both GPL and R-factor physics with an unlimited open source to build upon, chassis set-ups push your learning curve way beyond the others. Great for track orientation and does somewhat help when you hit the real tarmac. The only downside is getting all the patches and files in order. Next finding a decent group of guys online to have respectful racing and help when needed. Have fun -
