You can go for it, it's not a bad game. General state of sims looks roughly like this:
>assetto corsa has all of the amazing mods, playerbase, all of the cool stuff, it's also decent when it comes to the simulation aspect. get it. also there is an anon who runs casual AC drives for people of this general
>pcars2 is a nice bundle, it's well optimized, vr is implemented properly, it has lots of cars, tracks, everything. it's considered as less of a sim, but who cares? you probably won't like the general car feel if you're anyhow good with sims
>get dirt rally, it's an amazing introduction to sim games. not quite the full-blown sim, but lets you have tons of fun and plays well on gamepad
>there is rfactor2, it's hands down the most impressive simulation around, force feedback feels glorious, it has tons of mods, but game can run like shit depending on the car/track combo
>iracing can deliver consistent quality multiplayer races with 20+ drivers every hour. it costs tons of money, but hey, max verstappen himself can get enraged and ram you out of the track

imo you should get dirt rally, assetto corsa, see how you like it, and then get a cheap FFB wheel if you'll end up being into it. it's tons of fun, your skills translate into IRL driving, skill ceiling is simply not there. also, /o/ has a sim racing general, check it out.
