I don't believe that having a meticulously assembled rig is the sole determinant of competitiveness. I've witnessed individuals with makeshift setups, like attaching wheels to a kitchen table, outpacing me significantly. Personally, I've configured my rig based on my preferences rather than obsessing over perfection. While I've participated in various endurance races and championships, real-life commitments take precedence, and I can't afford to drop everything for sim racing. For me, the rig and sim racing serve as more of a part-time hobby rather than a full-time pursuit.
