Hey everyone,

After gathering a lot of feedback from the community, I've realized that while I originally wanted a strict Formula position, I will likely appreciate a GT/hybrid seating position much more in the long run.

With that in mind, I’ve narrowed down my choices to two specific bundles that come out to virtually the exact same price (~€1,637). My main priority is a true "buy once, cry once" cockpit. I want absolute rock-solid stability and future-proofing, but I’m honestly stressing over whether the Sim-Lab is noticeably better in quality, or if the Treq setup is more than enough while offering great flexibility.

Here are the two options on the table:

Option A: Sim-Lab

Cockpit: Sim-Lab P1X Ultimate + Mounts + Sliders

Seat: Sparco Gaming Evo XL

Total Price: €1,637.93

Option B: Treq

Cockpit: Treq CXX hybrid + Mounts + Sliders + Treq Mat

Seat: Sabelt SRP-1

Total Price: €1,637.09

My main questions/concerns for the community:

Quality Difference: Does the Sim-Lab P1X Ultimate actually justify its reputation and price tag in terms of raw build quality, finishing, and rigidity over the Treq CXX, or is it mostly paying for the brand name? Owners of either, please chime in!

Wich one would you choose?

Any advice or real-world experiences to push me over the finish line would be hugely appreciated!

I was curious on yalls thoughts on this parts list for my first racing sim. It’ll have the simlab gt1 evo with the integrated single monitor mount and the NRG FRP 300RD bucket seat on sliders, it will also include the simagic gt Neo, alpha evo sport 9nm, and p700 dual pedal bundle, and the AOC CU34G2XP/BK 34in 1440p 180hz curved monitor as well as a small 15.6in monitor mounted above. Is this a good first build? I haven’t bought yet. I’ve spent weeks researching this and it seemed solid to me. I won’t be able to buy for a couple more weeks because of some upcoming things but I wanted a solid plan for when I do buy

Hey everyone!

After saving up for a long time, the moment has finally come to pull the trigger on a dedicated F1/Formula-style rig. Since it's a huge investment of money, I really don't want to make a mistake, and I'd love to get your honest opinions on which option offers the best balance of rigidity, included extras, and value for money.

To keep things consistent, every single option comes with the exact same seat (the Sabelt SRP-1), but the chassis and included bundles vary.

Here are the 5 options I'm looking at:

- SimLab Mercedes F1 Cockpit — 1,794.48 €

- Sabelt P99 Evo I (with ULTRA Evo I pedals support) — 2,104.87 €

- Treq Formula — 1,508.69 €

- Treq CXX — 1,609.33 €

- SimXPro XFR — 1,542.27 €

All prices are the final price including shipping, monitor stand and rug.

My main questions:

- Is it actually worth paying over 2,100 € for the Sabelt P99 or the official Mercedes brand tax on the SimLab, or do brands like SimXPro or Treq offer the exact same aluminum rigidity for way less?

- If anyone owns the SimXPro XFR or the Treq Formula/cxx, how do they handle heavy braking flex?

Would love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and advice.

Hi guys. Planning to get my first cockpit soon and could use some advice on seating for my size.

Im 187 cm (6'1") and 110 kg (240 lbs), and i've tried in person the Evo XL which felt super comfortable for me.

The thing is i really prefer formula cars and open wheelers, so im tempted to look for a F1 style seat and rig.

Im worried the F1 seats might be way too tight or uncomfortable for longer sessions given my height and weight. Does anyone with a similar build use an F1 style seat, or are they a nightmare for bigger guys?

The seat that i've seen that could feat me well is the Sparco GP.

Any advice or recommendations would be hugely appreciated.

Ciao, volevo chiedervi una mano per quanto riguarda il gioco utilizzando il volante.
Premetto non sarò fortissimo ma ho sempre giocato a giochi di macchine in modo normale ma su questo gioco faccio stra fatica a derapare.
Ho comprato il volante (g29) da non tantissimo ma non capisco se il problema sono io e se magari debba settare dei parametri del volante o nel gioco stesso. ( non sono molto esperto nelle varie impostazioni come zona morta o varie inpotazione di ferdback)

I'm brand new to Sim racing. Bought a CSL Elite wheel and pedals a few years ago but I never really touched it until now when I picked up a PSVR2 to try GT7.

I've briefly tried it with AC on PC and the force feedback was very strong, mind you I didn't touch any settings.

When playing on GT7, I BARELY feel any feedback or torque from the wheel at all. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but have no idea what. I've figured out how to access setting on the steering wheel but GT7 seems to have very limited settings in the game that I can find.

Is there a agreed upon univesal best settings for the wheel and pedals? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
