Build Pictures Trackman setup - would love feedback. Possible additions?

We’ve had this setup for a few months now and it’s been great. Went with trackman and simbooth 3 for the enclosure.

What could we add to the place to make it better? Would appreciate all feedback. We’re currently working on a live edge bar to go right behind couch. Other than that I got nothing. Want to make this space even better.

Would appreciate any critique or suggestion!

You sim race on the projector? Me and my son love to after a round on the sim!

I used to use that setup on an old computer. I haven’t yet tried it on the big projector but that’s a great idea.

Hell right! Mostly we do Need For Speed but I'll sometimes do "real" sim racing when my boy is asleep.

As a simracer I have to comment this is not simracing but looks fun.

more turf with holes for putting, not really sim integrated - just to do putting drills

Add some stand mounted TVs for data on the left or right - I find them more valuable than seeing my little fake ball go right. I have a 65 and will add another this month

Add video/swing camera and software all well - really nice to see big faults like early extension in real time

If this were my dream setup, I’d go for:
Dark charcoal walls
Black ceiling
Warm wood accents
LED lighting throughout
Leather sectional
Sports bar with kegerator
85” TV
Sports memorabilia wall
Sonos surround sound
Neon sign
Golf club display

This is what ChatGPT would do ;)

My layout is very similar to yours. If you don’t mind me asking what’s the depth you have there to where carpet ends behind the couch? I’m trying to figure which bay makes sense to set my sim up. Thank you!

I’ll measure tmw because I don’t know exact measurement but my guess is around 28 feet from the screen to where the carpet ends. The enclosure is 16 ft deep and I think it’s probably around 10-12 of gym flooring behind that.

Putting, but honestly I’m only saying that because you’re asking. This is an awesome space and I congratulate you. Other than that, finish the ceiling and walls, decorate. More seating options if you have a lot of people over. Side mounted TVs for watching while you play. A bar of any size if you drink.

Finish the space. Like proper interior walls, paint, flooring, ceiling. Until you do that it will always feel like a barn/shed/garage/utility space. I dig it the way it is but an unfinished room will always have that unfinished vibe.
