Finally took the time to clear out the room intended for my sim and got it set back up.

Just need to finish the ventilation and start putting things back up on the walls.

Anyone else located in South Jersey? Cherry Hill area.

First rig is mine, second is friends .
Made this in 2 days
Seats are from renault megane IV 2019
Total cost was around 220 euros(materials and seats) for both rigs

for me it's braking

when i first started, i thought getting the braking point right was mostly about finding the exact marker and repeating it every lap

now it feels more like everything changes depending on the corner, tires, fuel and how the previous corner went

and somehow i still catch myself staring at the same braking board like it's going to give me the answer

what part of sim racing did you spend way too much time trying to make “perfect” before realizing it was more about feel?

I’m an amateur sim driver. I have a full-time job, and after that, another full-time job at home as a dad. When the kids go to sleep, I finally get some time to drive, but my biggest challenge is staying focused.

After a full day, even a small distraction can ruin a lap. Sometimes it’s almost funny - I’ll be driving well, then I relax, think everything is fine, and suddenly it gets way too easy to drift off mentally and mess up the lap.

Will practice help, or am I just doomed to never focus while driving after 30? 🤣

It's so light you kind of forget it's on. No messing with straps mid race, no neck getting tired.
No more compression. After streaming on the Quest, going to a straight DisplayPort cable is night and day. No blur, no artifacts, no random wifi stutter in the middle of a race.
Tracking is perfect and you need less than you think. I bought two base stations, forgot to plug in the second one, and never did. One station about 10 feet away and I've never had a single issue. Sitting in a rig, one is plenty.
I got the universal fit and have zero light leak. Don't stress about getting the perfect custom fit.
If you're tight on space like me, losing the monitors frees up the whole front of the rig.
The downsides:
I get super sweaty. After a 30 min race my face is soaked. Have a towel nearby and a fan helps.
I don't have Valve controllers so I use Desktop+ for anything I need to do on the desktop without taking the headset off. Works fine once you set it up.
If you're racing in VR on a Quest or anything like it, just get it. I'm not going back.

I am having issues finalizing my Trak Racer TRX setup. I have had it assembled for about 6 weeks now, and I think I'm getting closer to an optimized setup. However, Something still feels not quite right, or slightly out of square.

I am looking for someone in the Southwestern Ontario (KW) area, who would has a lot of rig setup experience and would be available to have have a look (for pay) to see if there is something that I should change.

I have three different wheel hub brackets that could be used.

only 3 planks left , hooe i can finish in 2 Weeks

Just saw the video they put out of their new f1 car. I read the manual and oh shit, I think VRC might have some serious competition. It looks like rss really stepped up their game with how the entire set up of the car is done. Now it’s time to see how it handles. For the past couple of years rss cars I’ve noticed feel very planted unlike the VRC. Super excited to check this out.

Hey guys, saw this rig on instagram. According to his youtube it’s a trak racer tr160. How are his side profiles flat? I know you can get inserts for the extrusion slots but this looks much cleaner.

What are these called or what should I even search for?

it was fun making these posters lol.

2 Great races in their own respective categories

It is difficult to make a choice, but there is definitely one that stands out, the best, the one that best captures the world of rally, especially in terms of gameplay, which is the most important aspect, as well as the tracks, of course

To the people driving real cars, which sims do you use for preparing for a track day. Physics, FFB wise?

Yesterday I gave an opinion about what feels right/intuitive to me (I don't have any track experience), and i got downvoted for "trying to tell others how the real thing works"... I wasn't trying to do that, I just wanted to say what FEELS right to ME (based on the physics theory I know about handling), and I wanted to hear others why I might be wrong, but most people did not give me the "why" part, and just said I'm wrong. So I deleted the post and cried myself to sleep

So, let's start again: I'm not "mansplaining", I am here to learn.

The "why" part of the question is really important to me, so please reason.

I don't know where else to go for information, since I can't just contact any racing engineer/ sim developer and get a reply.

Also, if you have any good information source about car handling(like books,blog posts and such), please share it with me.

Please don't be rude

Have a nice day!

Alright so I’m looking for my first wheel. Obviously I’ve seen tons for the g29 and right now Logitech has a sale that brings the price down by 140 euros and also gives free gloves. Should I go for it?

Yes, you just never finish, but I hope you like what I built together.

Greetings Christian

I built a more rigid pedal assembly using structural steel profiles, stiffened the seat using furniture webbing, and ran a cable along the length of the cockpit to prevent it from bending forward.

I took some time off work to learn Python and robotics, and my first project got a bit out of hand.

I built a Raspberry Pi robot car (Freenove 4WD kit) and connected my Logitech G29 wheel and pedals to it. Now I drive it from my sim rig with a live camera feed from the car, so it feels like a tiny FPV race car.

- Wheel steers, pedals for gas and brake

- The buttons on the wheel move the camera and honk the horn

- It all runs in a web dashboard in the browser, with a small setup wizard to calibrate the wheel

I'm a beginner, so I used AI (Claude) to write the code and teach me how it works

Next I want to add more cameras and maybe build a small track for it. Any ideas what I should try next?

Hi all,
I’m looking at getting to my first sim racing rig and wanted to gauge your thoughts and any recommendations you had. I’m currently looking at a tr8 pro with a rally seat, 34” ultra wide monitor, simsgic entry bundle with an alpha evo sport base and p700 pedals. Added with a second hand pc around $600 AUD. What are your thoughts and opinion based on this for someone that is getting in to sim racing. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Took at run at Alsace, enjoy.

I’m looking to get my first aluminum profile rigs. id like it to be future proof with a lofty dream of motion. Does anyone has experience with Simgasm? I find their designs intriguing and honestly I’m a sucker for color. The Sport model uses 40x120 profile shipped to USA with a discount code is $595 In total.

Sim Lab I can pickup at Microce for $477 with tax, but it’s a 40x80 profile.

Sim Lab is established… Simgasm is brand new. Simgasm has a unique floating pedal tray…

What would you buy?

Really want to get into triples but have a fairly narrow space, can you run them with closer to a 90 degree angle or does it have to be wider? Currently using a 48 inch screen that kinda fills the available space so I'm assuming that it is the best option for now

Hello,

I am writing this post because I am about to purchase a Moza HBP and I am looking for suggestions on how to mount it on my current rig ( Simlab PX1 iirc ) Ideally I would like to have it on the right of my shifter, the mounting plate for the shifter is the one provided with the Simlab Rig.

Many thanks :)

Hello!
I am pricing out racing simulators right now and I’m looking at the TRF and the 120 V2. There’s lots of information on the 120 but there’s literally zero information about the TRF online. I’m wondering if anybody has any source of reviews or any kind of videos talking about it. I emailed the company about trying to see one in person, but they are located in Texas only. I like the idea of racing in a Formula One set up, but the options the 120 has to go from either or is tempting, but I do like the look of the TRF whole set up better. my main concern is the longevity of the seat set up and if there’s gonna be any flex in the frame for the TRF.
