Do I need 12Nm?
Most drivers run well below maximum torque. Extra torque mainly gives cleaner detail at lower percentages and stronger kerb and impact effects.
Rig requirements
At 12Nm a rigid cockpit matters. A wheel stand or desk can flex; an aluminium profile cockpit such as the Sim-Lab GT1 Evo is a good match.
