I just started a career on a whim, just to see what it's like. I might have said this before, but the intro with Dale Jr. is excellent. It's hilarious to see the other drivers whining on social media after the races whenever you look at them funny on the track, like this is F1 and not NASCAR...

I hear that. My previous lack of desire to use a wheel and pedals had been formed from my experience over 15 years ago using a wheel and pedals with my Xbox 360. It had a lap mount for the wheel, and I always found it cumbersome to set up and use. I would get tired of it so quickly and just want...

Okay, I was liking the wheel and pedals at first, but I'm feeling like Greg now. Despite taking the time to try to get my sitting position right, I can't get physically comfortable with them. They're too much of a workout and almost always leave my right leg hurting afterwards. It would...

Yeah, my Black Friday gaming purchase this year was the wheel and pedals. I didn't bite on any game sales there may have been. We're so close to Christmas now that if you can wait for NASCAR 25, you might as well just wait and see if it goes on sale. Of course, if you can afford it, the game...

Welcome to the fold, my friend! ^_^

🤦‍♂️

I got back on the wheel and pedals today for a little over an hour. I got tired of wrestling with the wheel, so I turned the centering spring setting off and lowered the force feedback setting a bit. I like the way the steering feels now. This stiff brake pedal has been pretty annoying to deal...

So, there is actually no disc version of NASCAR 25 for consoles. It's digital download only. Digital is where things have generally been headed for a while now. The prices for discs vs. digital are generally the same these days. Disc games can be cheaper depending on how long the game has been...

I feel ya. The wheel and pedals can definitely be a workout. All that force feedback and resistance in the wheel (and in my G29's brake pedal) definitely isn't always a good thing! Good on you for listening to Whizzer and your body and not just blindly trying to push through the pain. Kudos to...

I got my Logitech G29 wheel/pedals and the stand today, set them up, and hopped in William Sawalich's ARCA car at Charlotte. I could feel that my back was going to start hurting sitting in my computer chair, so I took the time to adjust the stand properly so I could sit back on the couch. Once...

Yeah, I've heard good things about those Moza wheels. Sadly, they're PC and Xbox only, so they're not an option for me unless I get some third-party adapter. I wanted something that I knew would be compatible with my PS5 out of the box. If they were, I would have gone for the R3. A direct drive...

From what I've come to understand, direct drive wheels are generally the best in terms of the level of force feedback they can give you, and they're the quietest, but they're the most expensive. The gear-based wheels like the Logitech I got are generally the worst in terms of noise and force...

After thinking about it for a little while and confirming that I indeed have the room for it, I'm taking the plunge again and buying a wheel/pedal set and stand. I took my own advice and went with the tried and true Logitech G29. Should be here by the end of this week or sometime next week...

NASCAR 25 is a great game that I'm having a lot of fun with. If you go the PS5 and NASCAR 25 route, don't break the bank getting a fancy sim rig setup. I obviously don't use a wheel, but a common complaint for wheel users with NASCAR 25 is the force feedback, or lack thereof. Some other things...

We only live once, man. If you end up liking iRacing and have the means to get yourself a full sim rig, go for it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy playing the PS5 game.
