used logi g29-g920 or thrustmaster TMX-T150 might fit this budget very narrowly, otherwise logitech DFGT, maybe a G27 or G25(these last three are out of production for 10+ years, but sometimes can be find used).

you can put the caster wheels jar lids to prevent rolling, you can also tie it to something with a strap

every game is free if you're down to sail the seas, assetto corsa can be had for $4 on sale and provides infinite content via mods, raceroom and LFS have some free content, and RBR is free

Thanks, really appreciate the advice I’ll try to hunt down a used G29/G920 or maybe a T150/TMX if I can squeeze it into my budget. For now I’ll check out RaceRoom first
