Only when I crash. Which I never do because osw's make it so much easier.

Update - I decided to jump straight in and went with the Fanatec V2.5, V3 pedals and Porsche 918 rim. I know I didn't need to start with this level of kit but really happy with it all so far and it's working surprisingly well with the desk.

Lovely, enjoy.

Fair play for going all in from the start.
Start looking at VR next.

Shhhsssh!

Once that happens, he'll want the full on racing rig

Or be like me, totally underwhelmed visually, nauseous and annoyed with the set steaming up. VR is nowhere near good enough yet IMO

Is there a Sim setup thread on the forums? I'm new to the genre too and whilst being a driving game veteran, have only really ever done it on crap wheels or controllers.

Grabbed a cheap t300 recently with a view to upgrade it over time and whilst it's a great entry point to get my practice in, I'm looking at options for a full setup so that would be useful.

GT planet has some good info but I prefer posting on here.

I think there used to be a sim rig thread. However you are probably better served going to the forums of a established sim racing game. Iracing forums are good but you need an active sub for that.

https://www.racedepartment.com/forums/ is a great place to start.

Cheers guys. I'm working with space restrictions too so my idea is a good wheelstand and I'll make a seat stand that can be easily disassembled from the wheel stand and stowed away when not in use. Just doesn't seem to be an option for a seat base which can do that easily where you can choose your own seat. I will post some progress on here when it comes into fruition..

I had just a wheel stand pro and an office chair for years, raced to an ok level on iracing with that as well. The biggest space save when getting a full rig is VR. Without the need for monitors you can put it right in the corner of a room and it's surprising how little space it takes up.
