My new rig

That is well smart.

Please can you upload some footage of the motion rig being used to it's full potential (getting divebombed/t-boned/punted off track at turn 1 at race/series of your choosing
)

haha, I was worried at first but it must be clever enough to know when you have a major crash. I've flipped upside down before but nothing happens.
I assume major changes in motion are filtered out.

I'm also in VR, and find the immersion just awesome.

Racing in the Formula Ford at Brandshatch, my stomach goes when I momentarily lose traction going through turn 1, like my mind is filling in the feeling it knows should be there.

I can't imagine what it must feel like with a motion rig to aid in that. Jealous!

@SimonRigga I have thought about it, but the amount of faff it was to get everything set up on iRacing has put me off trying any other racing sims in VR.

The race in the Caterhams at Virginia did look great fun though.

I'll see if I can pick it up cheaply...

Just taken delivery of my GT NEO.
I'm at work so at present I've only taken it out the box to have a quick look and press some buttons.

I have mulled over buying this for ages, was looking at a cube controls wheel for a bit after reading some people saying it still felt cheap and plasticy.

I honestly can't think why you would need to spend more than this, it feels absolutely solid, not toy like at all.
buttons all have a nice click. etc.
very happy (and hopefully will still be happy later when I get to try it out on the track)

 

[Uncle Petey]

Yeah, it's a very solid and well made rim. A bargain at the price.
It really doesn't matter if it's not actual carbon fibre/aluminium when it does what it's supposed to do.

I found the grips too small for me, but nothing some handlebar tape couldn't solve.

 

[BogEyes]

The Sim Magic GT Neo looks impressive for the price.

I'm very tempted to go for a 20nm VRS Direct Force Pro wheelbase, along with the VRS Formula Lite wheel.

£880~ for the wheel and base currently on sale, which seems a very good price.

Has everyone had some nice gifts from sim racing Santa?

I’ve got a couple of bits coming (to me, from me) had a P1X Pro front mount as it will be better for mounting some of my peripherals, a Precision Sim Engineering Pro Switch Panel and a wheel I’ve been after since I first laid eyes on it:

YUP!!!

 

[MassiveJim]

I'm only 6 months in to my sim racing journey so wheels like that are well out of my price range. Very happy with my simagic gt neo though, had that a few weeks now.

 

[Uncle Petey]

I designed and built a wireless active pedal a few weeks ago.
It does most of the stuff that a Simucube pedal does, and some things that an SC doesn't do - like be able to run Simhub tactile effects.

Spoiler

Might switch to a little load cell if I can be bothered.

Aside from the 4080 profile base, yes it's printed and no there isn't any flex or creak etc
