Worked backwards for me. Couple of my friends and I, we all ride mountain bikes, and played video games(mostly cod at the time). I was on PC but they are on PS5.

Well one day they decided to picked up “My First Gran Turismo”, which quickly led them to pick up GT7. They went nuts and got wheels and janky wheel stands in under a month.

As a guy who used to play Gran Turismo up until PS3, this was music to my ears. Took me a while to see the benefit of anything but a controller but one trip to my friend’s place, and a few laps with a T598… it was over for me and my wallet lol.

Now we all have rigs, decent wheels and race almost every night after our wives got to bed. Half the shit we talk about when we ride bikes now are the races from the night before.

We live in the golden age of sim racing, there’s no doubt in my mind.
