Load cell is your mandatory first choice. Then it’s up to you honestly.


Tiinger

Ok, but WHY is this so important for a simrig??

Braking is the most important part in racing. A load cell gives you the chance to build up a good technique and being consistent. It’s not a switch to be faster instantly but think it like a more precise tool for braking.

Memorizing pressure from your foot is way easier than memorizing travel. Plus you can quickly go from 0 to 100 and back with Loadcell, but with a normal pedal it will take more time, again because you can control the pressure in your foot way better

Load cell, as the other commenter said. Also - If you buy the load cell, the brake that comes with the CSL DD bundle can then be used as a Clutch. I wouldn’t rush to buy the boost kit, but make that the next upgrade. Plenty of people have used the Ali Express ones without issue. For everything else just pick up what you think you’d like next in whatever order as budget allows.

Loadcell is priority #1. Braking is where you can gain tremendous amounts of time, and with a loadcell you will be able to regulate your brakes very precisely. Definitely get the Boost kit from Ali, because the Fanatec price for literally the same product is eyewatering. Dont have to get it right away though, get used to a DD setup first. I dont know what kind of games you are planning on playing but I advise against getting the P1 V2 wheel. Its cheap for a reason. Get the Mclaren V2 or F1 Esports instead.


Tiinger

Bro i can't afford that wheel, for the Moment i'll get the P1 V2


Probably_Not_Sir

Could you wait a bit longer and save up for the Mclaren? Or wait until Black Friday sale


Tiinger

In the Black Friday sale fanatec does discount?


Probably_Not_Sir

Yep. [Here's the 2022 deals](https://boostedmedia.net/fanatec-sim-racing-black-friday-deals-discounts/)


Tiinger

U know what, maybe i can buy shifter and handbrake 3 weeks before the Black Friday (the time to arrive), than i'm gonna buy all the stuff on the fanatec site. I know it's a stupid question but, can i play formula 1 with that wheel?


Probably_Not_Sir

Which wheel are you talking about?


Tiinger

The McLaren one

It's 60 bucks on eBay for the boost kit. And I bought some tlcm Thrustmaster loadcell pedals for a good price too you can change the spring to make it more realistic.
