Finally the monitor mount and seat arrived in Hawaii. Only took almost a month to get here. My son ended up putting everything together himself cause he couldn’t wait to race.

Here's my setup, it's a tight fit, but I think it adds to the experience

Currently I'm still on the thrustmasterwheel t300 with loadcell pedals from fanatc with loadcell pedals, brake upgrade kit and hydraulic pump.

I'm not entirely happy with the brake set up yet, it 's a bit too heavy for me, so may have to change to softer rubbers.

I Want to replace the wheel with one of the new fanatec DD's. Butt i'm waiting until Fanatec Europe's supply problems are fixed

In the meanwhile I'm working on a 6x50W bass shaker setup, ordered pieces from all over the world for it. So I hope it will work out, without too many fireworks and unexpected problems

After that maybe a shifter handbrake and a button box, and maybe some racing inspired wall decoration,...
And a new roll of darker car wrap to redo the improvised sunblocker. Since I don't want to drill holes in the wall so i can hang curtains, after spending 3weeks filling the holes and repainting all the rooms in the appartment

I removed the driver's seat from my F30 to make space for a sport seat, using the factory power sliders on the sport seat. I'd like to use the BMW seat on my sim rig, but I'm a bit baffled on which sliders or mounts I should be searching for to bridge the gap between the rig and the remaining hardware on the bottom of the seat. I used the Brey Krause R9286 kit to reuse the power sliders. Is there an easy/cheap option for manual sliders that will fit cleanly onto the factory seat?

It looks like BMW #52107243523 is the PN for the lower seat assembly but it seems to include the entire lower half of the seat, not just the sliders, and I don't see ebay results for under $400.

My current setup:

Modified Simlab EVO rig
Simucube 1 with Large Mige motor (30Nm)
Ascher F64 wheel and 5” dash
VRS pedals
Triple 27” monitors
4 bass shakers, one at each corner
Haptic pedal motors
2 DIY wind simulators

I know my cable management sucks

Mostly on iRacing but occasionally will jump on AC for funsies.

I recently added a SimXperience G-belt active belt tensioner. It’s by far the single most expensive piece of equipment I have but the increase in immersion has been incredible. Just being strapped in makes me feel like I’m in a race car. Then when the shoulder harnesses compress on braking, cornering and even over crests it starts to feel almost believable. Combined with other haptics (bass transducers under the seat and pedals, multiple exciters in the seats) it does a pretty good job at making the cars feel alive. I don’t ever plan to add motion so this is as far as I’ll go. It’s great value for money.

I’ve been to World of Racing in SoCal a few times (highly recommend checking them out). Their $25k 4-DOF motion rigs with triple screens, top of the line Simucube wheelbases and Heusinkveld pedals are awesome, but honestly I find my setup somehow more immersive.

How do you like the GT Omega ART rig with your setup? Any issues with flex or stability? I've been thinking of getting a GT Omega rig, just can't decide if I should get the ART or the Titan with a DD wheel.

The ART definitely flexes with my 8nm DD wheel. I installed the accessory cockpit support bar which helped quite a bit but it’s still there. The pedal plate also has some flex and wouldn’t be able to handle anything stiffer than v3 pedals. Switching from the RS6 adjustable seat to an NRG fixed bucket noticeably reduced back movement underwent braking. I’d go at least Titan or, even better, an aluminum profile rig to maximize upgrade options down the road.

Not as much as professional compared to other setups, but enough for racing from time to time while having a bear.

My simple setup. I share this area of the house with my kids, so I have to keep the rig mobile and push it aside when not in use. Nowhere near as clean or eye pleasing as others here, but it does the job for me I plan to get the belt tensioner setup later this month.

Interesting to see plywood! Definitely unique among a sea of aluminum profile rigs. How are you liking it?

I can’t speak to aluminum, so my only comparison is the Next level Racing wheel stand:

Weight wise, the entire RSR-21 rig weighed less than the NLR Wheelstand. And with the Heusinkveld pedals there’s absolutely no flex on the pedal box.


The drawback of the RSR21 is the lack of modular add-ons compared to aluminum rigs. This is going to come down to preference, but I think the RSR21 is more eye pleasing than solid aluminum rigs.

Plus the owner of RSR used to do aerodynamics for Williams Racing, so that weighed into my decision lol
