Before you go out and spend good money, play the game, get to know what you are going to be doing, do you have the room for a cockpit setup?

Minimum spec would be the best you can reasonably afford .

What kind of budget you have would be of great help to those here who can help.... and if you're looking for a PC set up you'd probably be better off asking in the dedicated Sim Racing Hardware Forum https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/board/sim-racing-hardware.163/

thanks, budget is flexible just dont want to spend too little and get a crap set up or spend too much and get a set up i don't really need

I will have a look in the other forum thanks for that

Goodmorning @jfxr242 and welcome!

I'm not new to the game, but I just bought a wheel two months ago so I will share my experience so far.

At first, I bought the G29 wheel with a shifter, however, I don't use it. It was just a very good deal for both. I find the shifter useless when you can use the flippers on the wheel. I didn't have a great setup at first, connected the wheel to my desk and the pedals where lose on the ground. I got some problems with my neck and back when using it like this so I decided to upgrade.

On recommendation from some forum users I bought the wheelstand pro V2. After that I dind't have any problems physically and driving is much better after.

Keep in mind that it takes a lot of time to get used to it, especially when you are new to the game.

Good luck!!

Locking this as your question is in the GT7 forum, but not GT7 related.
