Speaking of pCARS, have you considered giving it a try?

10€ gets you monthly builds, 50€ gets you weekly builds and a copy of the
game at launch. and there are other levels in between with other perks.
And if it sells well, that 50€ could turn into 150€ down the road.

It's really an exciting time right now. The FFB is being completely
rebuilt, and the last update hinted at great things to come. The design
we're going for allows the driver to adjust a great many FFB factors so
that the game will cater to your individual tastes. The analogy used is
it's like an amplifier where you have different "knobs" to adjust
different aspects of the FFB, just like you can adjust treble, bass, etc.
on an amplifier.

I bet someone like you would have a blast being part of the community and
helping shape the direction of the game.
