I know I won't be able to race in a series in real life but sim racing gives me that opportunity to do that. Set up a championship series and have some fun. Having a wheel setup is well worth the price and yes more rewarding. I do have the wheel setup with the paddle, H pattern, and sequential shifting and can change with just a switch.
Just came back from the drag strip today and nothing beats that adrenaline rush and going down the 1/4 mile at high speeds. That is something sim racing will never achieve. IRacing is fun and a great place to learn how to sim race, but Assetto Corsa and Race Room Experience delivers close to what IRacing has and for way less. If anyone wants to get into sim racing I would recommend those two games before going into IRacing.

The huge advantage to sim racing is that while I can never afford to buy a 1967 Lotus 49 with a Ford/Cosworth DFV, or even sit in one, I can race it in a sim.
And I want to point out that on this day, June 18 1967, Dan Gurney drove the car in my sig pic to victory at the Grand Prix of Belgium, Spa-Francorchamps.
He won the race by over one minute and set a lap record at the track in the process. His top speed was 196 mph. No seatbelts.
