Tell me what i need, please

[Blues]

I fancy learning the GP circuits, SPA, The 'ring etc through playing a driving/racing game. (just for interest rather than planning to drive them all myself)
What is the best game for this, and what game system, wheel/pedal choice etc would you recommend.
This would be connected to a 52" 3D TV, and i usually sit about 15 feet away. The children have a wii which isn't used - would this do the job?
What other cool games should i consider?

Thanks for your help

You might need a few games to cover all the circuits, but a PS3 will fit the bill, a combination of F1:2010, Shift 2 and Gran Turismo 5 will cover most of the big circuits. Then you'll want to look into getting a wheel and pedal set along with something to mount them to.

I've currently got a Logitech G27 for sale which has barely been used, PM me if you're interested.

If it were my money, I'd go with the Xbox (I have owned both, but sold the PS3)

If you having trouble deciding, get the one your mates have, then you can race online with them.

This. But I flogged Forza 3 - just too fiddly. F1:2010 is epic. I don't use a wheel - my thumbs are amazing though....you can ask anyone.

Other games...CoD Blops of course!

Other stuff, run the box through a surround system to get the best sound.

Also I believe some games can run in 3d - I know Blops has an option for that on the Xbox.

Only reason I didn't suggest the 360 was due to the better wheel options on the PS3, you can get a couple of the Fanatec ones which work with the XBox, but other than that you've only got the official wheel which doesn't really compare very favourably to the Logitech offerings.

The PS3 and Gran Turismo 5 supports 3D
