I like how it looks like its not taking up hardly any space, curious, what the length and width of that ? Thanks
Sim racers - what are you running?

Thanks buddy, it's been pushed forward now so even more room to walk around it. The rig is 56.89" L x W 26".

Is that all it takes up ? Nice! Might have to see if I can squeeze something like that in here

There's always room for a rig somewhere
Mine should be arriving in the next few days. Can't wait! Desk mounted wheel is ok but far from ideal. Looking forward to a proper driving position where the chair and pedals can't move.

I'm on a desk, it's good, but a bit of a faff taking it off when I need to

Which one did you go for?There's always room for a rig somewhere

My dad and brother both have rigs from Si Turnbull. They’re both really happy with them and they’re great value

Ordered the Fanatec CSL DD (5NM) setup. Was delivered on Friday.
My goodness it's nice. A great update from the Logitech G29.

I've ordered 2x QR2 from alliexpress for my podium DD, as well as the type m for the base from the bay. However I have the V1 universal hub so have to buy and fit an adaptor to then fit the Qr2. But I am seeing if I can find a hub v2 or porsche wheel "on the cheap"

Really happy with my fanatec setup, DD+ base is excellent, no issues I've noticed whatsoever considering the bad press they've got lately. I'm way more impressed than I was with my Logitech DD Pro wheel, having an F1 style wheel is a game changer for me. Love the subtle rumble in the V3 pedals as well, really adds to the immersion. Need to grab a handbrake and shifter now for some WRC. Does anyone recommend a good handbrake mount? My Trak Racer rig came with a shifter mount so that's sorted!

I’ve been following Suellio Almeida’s content for improving my driving. So far it’s helping a lot. I am way more in control and starting to play with the dynamics of the car to get it to turn a lot more. I still bin the car every so often which sets me back loads but I feel the improvement every time.
On the kit. I’m surprised that I’m loving it so much, it’s more than I expected. I spent a couple of hours yesterday driving the same car around Brands Hatch over and over practising the things I’m learning.

I’ll take a look at his channel. Cheers.
Made some good progress today, just need to get it setup and do some testing.
Not jealous at all
