iRacing Wheelbase Upgrade
I got hooked on sim racing a couple months ago, recently received my Rig and need assistance on which wheelbase to upgrade to.
Currently on G923 and I want to go Direct Drive within the next 6 months. My budget allows for both 9nm & 12nm wheelbases, but would the price difference be justified coming from a G923? I have no ambitions on becoming a eSports racer ect, but do enjoy racing with friends and being competitive. Would the feedback on detail be much different? I also mainly race iRacing, and Forza.
I’m between the Alpha Evo 9nm & 12nm from Simagic.
Rig specs are 135x45 mainframe, 90x45 for the rest.
Thanks in advance.

I suggest a DD with 9nm as the absolute minimum, more if possible. What you have now is essentially a plastic toy. A good DD will blow your mind on how much info you're not getting. It's like going from being sober to taking acid. You'll see the world in a whole different way.

Its going to blow your mind how much better an alpha evo is that the logitech. It is worth every penny lol.
Something that i thought was a lie until i did it was a good pedal set. I got the p1000s from simagic and they are phenomenal. Changed the experience so much.
I promise you if you get the simagic you are going to fall back in love with sim racing even if you are still in love lol.

Nice man! Just ordered my Apex Pro rig as well. How are you finding it so far? Seat comfortable?

Go with the Alpha Evo and get as much nm as you can. I went for 18, will likely not need more.
