Just did a couple of laps of Stowe (short) in one of the saloon-car style cars you get for free, it felt like it had the turning-circle of a small house (probably better-designed for oval circuits and similar), but the game itself seemed to run nice and smoothly!

As expected, though, trying to control the car with keyboard wasn't as much fun as it could be!

Going to wait until next pay-day (which, in theory, should be at the end of next week), and then hopefully get the wheel/pedals/frame ordered! Will keep you posted!

I'd be surprised if it's actually in many (or any) games, but currently it'd have to be the only proper one I've actually driven on - Oulton Park, in Cheshire UK, got to drive a BTCC-spec BMW and a little single-seater (an old Formula First, from memory) around for the morning.

I'll see if playing regularly changes my mind on that, though, and I find another track that I like more. Brands Hatch is always a good one, I love watching the BTCC race there (albeit only on the TV, unfortunately). Have been to Silverstone a few times, but never actually driven on the track itself, just various car-shows that were there.

I spent the day at Silverstone about 20 years ago and did half a day skid pan training and other half doing laps which was amazing but the best bit was having a hot lap with the instructor driving to show us what could be done round the track and he was a good 10 seconds quicker than anyone in our group. as much as i would love to be a racing drive i just dont have the speed.
I do enjoy playing project cars 2 on the odd occasion thou.

I have finally ordered most of the parts for my new pc, got a ryzen 9 3900x, 64GB Ram, 2x 1TB nvme WD Black, Asus ROG Strix x570-F Gaming motherboard and can move my exsisting 28TB of hdd over. Need to wait a bit longer for the new graphics card thou both budget and stock levels were a bit empty.

I aim to retire my i7-3770k (it may end up with a family member) and have the new 3900x up and running sometime next weekend subject to work. Depending on how hot my room gets in the summer i aim to have it running close to 24/7, my room often gets to 28-32 degrees, above that i have to start shutting stuff down.

Well the forecast down south is sunny and warm for the next week so fingers crossed for your free electric, i did suggest swapping to Octopus to my house mates/landlord but they didnt like the idea as there peak usage is 4-7pm pre covid-19 plus we are on a set 3 year contract with 1 year left so maybe we can look at the end but i like the look of the tarrif and who doesnt like free electric.
