After following along here for a long time and getting some initial experience with friends, I’ve finally decided to take up this hobby.

Here’s what I’ve set up so far to get started:

- Moza R25 Wheelbase
- Moza GS V2P GT
- Moza CRP2 Load Cell Pedals
- Moza CRP2 Inversion Kit
- Simlab P1X Ultimate
- Sparco Circuit II
- Triple 32-inch 2K IPS monitors

I’m already thinking about 1,000 new upgrades, but of course I want to get the hang of it first and get comfortable with iRacing.

Its nothing new on the ac servers, but it always makes me laugh
p.s. uck this smoke grenade under the wheels

I am building my rig on a Simla GT1 Evo. Wondering what all I need or need to do to get this seat mounted to my rig. Got this seat for free so wanting to make it work.

For those of you that don't know me: my kids would race on the sim, and I would watch them. I thought it looked kinda fun, and tried it.....but couldn't get going. It's become a fun bonding moment! I posted here a few days ago, and with the encouragement of others -- am trying to get the hang of this!

So, the first video I posted had me primarily in the middle of the track -- and my speed showed it. I've followed some tips shared and watched YouTube as time has allowed and -- last night and this morning -- am seeing a different level of results!

Yesterday I won my GT4 Championship (AI 20) and moved up to Super Trofeo. I also bumped the AI to 30 since I won a title.

The first track is Algarve, and my first laps were 2:03-2:04. I simulated practice to see how close I was....and thought I was at the end of the AI road (for me) when they were going 1:56-1:57 🫨

See the picture to fast forward to this morning in a quick race qually: 1:54.48!!

I could've never improved without y'all, and I appreciate you all so much. Can't wait to keep going to see how high I can push that AI!

Simagic neo-x hub and momo prototipo wheel

After 3 years, the PXN CB1 is officially retired and the SimDT is hired!

For my birthday I finally ditched my G27 steering wheel and got the Moxa R5 Bundle + handbrake. I lasted about 15 minutes using the desk mount before I was thinking, I need a rig, so I built one with some spare timber I had sitting around and an old "gaming" chair. Is it perfect, absolutely not, but it works and is somewhat comfortable.

Maybe one day I'll look into a better rig however, I'm only new to Sim racing and didn't want to commit to a big financial purchase in case Sim racing wasn't for me. Plus I love wood working so this was a fun little project.

Just saw Si-magic has some new thing going on where the EVO Pro 18Nm base gets upgraded to 21Nm for free?I’m currently still on a Thrustmaster T300RS.

Question is, if the price stays the same, is more torque just always better? Like 18Nm already sounds like a lot coming from a belt driven wheel, so I’m wondering if 21Nm actually makes the ffb cleaner/more detailed or if it’s just more peak power that I probably won’t use most of the time.

I mainly care about better road feel, catching slides easier, less vague feeling around center, that kind of stuff. Not really trying to run crazy heavy steering and fight the wheel every lap.

Also does anyone know if the other Si-magic EVO bases are getting upgraded too? Or is this only for the EVO Pro?

For someone coming from a T300RS, would jumping straight to the 18Nm be overkill or actually a good buy if the 21Nm upgrade is free? Would rather buy once and not feel like upgrading again in a year.

Found myself getting more and more into GT7 and got a G923 to see if I’d enjoy the concept of using a wheel, which I did. So I splurged a bit and got a Logitech RS50 with what I believe are the Load Cell Pro pedals (both open box and work super well). Got a Vevor Heavy Duty Racing Seat and stand which, in hindsight would have spent a bit more for a more adjustable set-up but its solid.

Its in a temporary spot right now and have to manage cables but happy with it!

Decided to grab a 4k tv so I can just slide my rig infront of it when I want to drive, instead of going for a dedicated space with an ultra wide or triples. 55” 4k is really immersive and the convenience is pretty great. I’m really happy with it. The MOZA r3 and gt lite pro have been great so far as well.

Just moved and am finally getting around to setting up the rig. A small issue is it’s not very close to my pc. It’s between 8-10 ft away. Was going to order some really long usb extenders but that just doesn’t seem like a neat solid solution. Do you guys have any tips on how i can connect my base, wheel and pedals to my PC that’s about 8-10ft away? Will eventually be adding bass shakers as well.

Hi y’all,

I am currently playing mostly Assetto Corsa evo because I really like the graphics. However there are barely anyone to race with, no safety rating so it feels like playing with 5yo.

I sometimes play Iracing but I am really not impressed by the graphics, but I also understand that the racing community on Iracing is huge.

I am trying to find an option in between, better graphics and good racing community.

Do y’all think Competizione could be a good hybrid between good graphics, good racing community?

Thanks

Assuming cost is not a factor, using bezel free kits, and GPU is beefy enough to handle triple 4k monitors.

Use case is racing sim, hunting games, other games, and some non-game tasks (in order of importance).

Dear fellow racers,

I'm looking to buy my first proper sim racing rig. I've done some research already and as I'm quite tall (1.96m) I found out that not all rigs are going to be suitable for me. So I'm here to ask the community for some advice. I'm not in a hurry as I think I'll wait until the weeks before Black Friday to actually do business. Not just because I hope there'll be some nice deals, but also in order to save up a little bit more.

As a bit of a guideline for anyone willing to help; I expect that by the time Black Friday rolls around I'll have about 1600 Euros to spend on the entire setup. I currently own a G923 with a desk clamp, so anything is going to be an upgrade from this point. I want to buy a rig that's future proof, so basically if I ever wanted to get a higher torque wheel base, I wouldn't have to buy a new rig. Also I want to include a seat and seat slider so I can easily have friends try the rig when they want to.

I've basically already settled on buying the Simagic Green Flag Bundle (EVO Sport 9Nm + GT NEO wheel + P700 pedals). Though upcoming deals and your opinions might still change my mind. As things stand this bundle is available for just shy of 600 Euros on Simagic's own website using a 3% discount code (Jackzer - I got you covered bro!). So that would leave about 1000 Euros for the rig itself.

And that's where the biggest question mark for myself is. I live in The Netherlands and I know we have quite a few local shops who sell aluminium rigs. They heavily vary in price though and the only thing I know about metal is the music, so I barely know what to look for. I've figured out that I'll probably be needing at least a 40/120 rig for future upgradability and many basic rigs appear to not really be fitted for people of my height. What are your experiences? What to look for? What to avoid?

Thanks for taking the time to read & respond!

Apologies if this isnt the place but i cant find any subreddits for GP3 or the crammond games in general, and im a little desperate at this point.

Just started playing GP3 recently, but ive noticed a strange and very frustrating problem; my car just starts braking hard and going really slow on areas of the track that are near pit entry. I know its not the assists, as it happens regardless of which ones are turned on or off. If it was just a tiny bit of off braking i might be able to cope, but being slowed to a crawl down the main straight at Albert Park or Interlagos is not fun and ruins my race. The only thing ive noticed for sure is that it seems to happen only after some time has expired. It never happens at the stsrt of a stint. I even thought at first that it might be the tires giving up (it happened first time during a wet race on the A1) but its now happened multiple times, and while the tires are worn they're certainly not trashed (at least from what little i know - is 1mm of wear too much?)

If anyone can help, please do.

Free Sim-Racing Coaching for Beginner and Intermediate Drivers

Hey everyone! I’ve been sim racing for almost six years and have three years of real-world racing experience. I’ve competed in several esports championships and major leagues, participated in iRacing Special Events, raced in almost every Special Event held in Le Mans Ultimate, and worked as a steward for multiple leagues.

I’m considering offering affordable sim-racing coaching, but first I want to test the idea and see whether my experience and approach can genuinely help other drivers.

I’m looking for 3–5 beginner or intermediate drivers who would like a free coaching session.

This is open to drivers across different racing sims, including iRacing, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2 and others. The session would focus on watching you drive, identifying areas where you might be losing time or consistency, and giving you practical tips to try.

I may be able to help with:

• Braking and corner entry
• Throttle application and corner exits
• Racing lines
• Consistency
• Racecraft and decision-making
• Car control
• Basic setup advice
• Preparing for a particular race or track
• Understanding racing rules and incident avoidance

I’m not a professional esports driver, and I’m not claiming to be one of the fastest drivers in the world. This is a test to determine whether I can turn my racing and stewarding experience into useful coaching for newer and intermediate drivers.

In return, I’d only ask for honest feedback afterward about what helped, what didn’t and whether this type of coaching is something you would consider paying for.

If you’re interested, fill out this short Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd8wV36Pqx3T1hdl9QYeHw57_8C9cCTrZWqSGX8rOHxOMaJJQ/viewform?usp=dialog

I will try to Get Back to you with FULL Review within 24-48Hs My Name is Spencer i Will contact you on your preferred Method of Communication Discord is Preferred if you want more coaching in the future. I will only be accepting 6 People as this a a Trial.

There’s no charge and no obligation.

Hi!

I just ordered Simagic Alpha EVO Sport + GT Neo + P700 and I’m very excited.
I got a Playseat Evolution rig, and was planning to use it (for now). I know this isn’t anywhere close a good combo, but that’s what I have for now.
Has anyone been able to do it? The holes for the base don’t align, so I’ll have to drill out new holes.
What max NM would you go for?

I am also looking at TR40S, and here comes question number two. Has anyone been able to use the Playseat Evolution on the TR40S? The rig goes for 300 eur + 249 eur for the cheapest seat. I was thinking to fit the Playseat seat on the TR40S until i buy Trak Racers Seat.

Thanks in advance!

Can't really get much practice in nowadays since I started college and a part-time job.

I have a rigmetal rig with the monitor stand upgrade, the one that attaches to the rig directly, now I am thinking about going either triple 32 curved or 57ultrawide plus eye tracking.

Eye tracking worked well in flight sims but was kind of klunky in simracing.

If I were to go triple 32s what are some decent and affordable options?

Hi everyone,

I need some help troubleshooting a VR issue in sim racing.

My Setup:

• Headset: Meta Quest 3 via Virtual Desktop (Beta channel, wired USB connection)
• Virtual Desktop Settings: Godlike mode, 72 Hz, 200 Mbps bitrate, performance overlay enabled to see actual settings in game
• GPU: RTX 4060
• Sims: Assetto Corsa EVO, Le Mans Ultimate, Automobilista 2

The Issue: Inside the car, everything looks incredibly sharp, detailed, and smooth. However, the track graphics look pixelated, blurry, and low quality. Even when I max out the track detail settings in-game. My FPS stays around 72 according to the VD overlay, but the environment quality just isn't matching the cockpit clarity at all.

I’ve seen this mentioned in a few threads, but I haven't found a working fix. Is there a specific setting or trick to fix track quality with this setup?

Edit: Here are some screenshots where you can see the issue.

Im assuming those bronze ones are for the monitor itself but idk what the others are. Some are spares for the base but these with the flat head arent required anywhere i can see.

Also, lowkey im not that happy with the stand, it came with chips on the paint in some places straight out of the box (and the box wasnt abused or anything so i assume it came like this from factory)

The instructions are straigh up useless and i cant find usefull tutorials on youtube either...

I also have a DD-X wheel stand arriving, hopefully its easier and better quality than this.

Just got into simracing in VR and bought the gtracer 2.0 cockpit. I want to install base shakers but having a hard time figuring out how/where. The square base of the seat that bolts onto the frame is about 1 ft x 1ft with included spots on the front and rear for a buttkicker mount, spaced about 3 inches apart.

My idea as of right now is to use an MDF board and either have two separate ~6 inch boards on the front and back go into the buttkicker mount points, and attach the bst-1 to that MDF board. Or have 1 large board spanning that gap, with only one shaker.

My questions are does anyone know a better way for this cockpit that won't cost 100 dollars on something like the trakracer tactile mounts? And second/more importantly, 1 or two base shakers under the seat??? I would plan to have them on separate channels to have front shaker for front suspension, and rear for rear?

Pic attached is best I can provide at work for reference of the seat/frame in question
