Not sure I understand the question.....


Are you talking about GT5 or iRacing?
For GT5 you need a PS3, a copy of GT5 and an internet connection. (a wheel and bluetooth are nice)
For iRacing you need a computer that can handle it, a monthly subscription, a wheel and an internet connection.

For both just join in at the set night/time for the mayhem!

And if you are into the GT5, I'm proof that a wheel isn't required, but it is an advantage to have one. I've won a few races and am moderately competitive in most of them with just the controller, the important thing is to just get out and start having fun!! The headset would be something that I wouldn't race without however...hard to give a warning/heads-up to others or to say sorry when you miss a line so it doesn't come accross like an intentional hit.

I bought myself a fanatec CSR setup for Christmas but I'm still learning. I have a Bluetooth headset too.

Robert, are you using a PS3 or computer? Either way, we have a series for both of them!
