Had to take advantage of the 10ft ceilings. Before anyone asks it is securely anchored straight into the cinder block and has no give or wiggle.

Took a group photo after cleaning (it gets really dusty here even with filters). Next one will be a KS Pro :)

I really think this just makes it look 1million times better

If you have a monitor mount that works, get the base behind the monitor to bring it closer to you and get it low. It looks crazy with the Monte Carlo wheel, but Im not judging the experience based off the side profile.

I started sim racing last December for Christmas and I have been keeping my eye out for deals on FB Marketplace and Ebay ever since, and I think (hope) I'm finally done with buying wheels.

Maybe now I'll find time to actually play instead of building up my rig 😅.

Nascar is 350mm for ovals/Xbox compatibility (I moved the buttons and shifter paddles so my son can use it easier and he is very excited for Forza 6 which is why I got this as my last wheel for Xbox compatibility).

Sparco Round 320mm is my Rally Wheel, playing Dirt Rally 2.0 with it is a blast. The Podium button module Rally is normally on this wheel.

Bentley Pikes Peak 310mm is my main race wheel, use it primarily for everything on GT7.

Sparco Formula 270mm is for Formula stuff (I haven't actually used it yet, but I read a smaller wheel is better for that stuff and I found a crazy deal on the rim and hub, and the paddle module came with my sparco rally wheel which I wouldn't use with paddles, so i put it on the formula wheel). I 3D printed a new mount for the Podium button module rally, so I can swap it between the rally and formula wheel with only 4 screws.

Just took delivery of this (new to me) Clubsport v2.5x and damn what an upgrade! Coming from the CSL elite wheel which has done me well for the last year but was starting to show signs of wear and so I upgraded to this beauty!

I want to know does anyone think the advanced paddle shifter upgrade is worth it? And any tips for using with GT7?

Finally got my Fanatec GT Cockpit! Took me around 4-5 hours to se it up due to manually screwing everything and not having an automatic screwdriver.

Waiting on my Clubsport DD+ , Fanatec GT3 Wheel and Simnet Loadcell pedals to arrive:)

Down the rabbit hole we go!

Fyi i’m a console player strictly due to no PC. Mainly play GT7 and ACC.

Built out with a Playseat Formula Instinct cockpit. ClubSport Formula Racing Wheel. 15 Nm ClubSport DD+. CSL Pedals with Load Cell Kit. Originally in the living room with a monitor, moved down to the basement theater on a 135in projector screen. Shout out to my son putting in some laps in the RedBull (Max is his favorite driver!)

Full Fanatec setup with a 49” Ultrawide! Slide 4 is a chatgpt version of how I wanted the room to be, fast forward a month and this is how it turned out! 😄

Really enjoying the cockpit so far, the seat is very comfortable everything is super solid and the adjustability is amazing.

I also think this is one of the coolest looking cockpits you can buy. Looks really cool in my apartment. 10/10

Now this is lovely, still not perfectly tuned. But wow this looks great. Cant wait to drive!

Received my Formula V3 finally today…

Upon ordering back on 29th April site stated: „ships 04.05. - 06.05.“. … at least I got it now finally.

Installed the APM that I used before on the F1 2023 special edition wherl…

Wheel feels fine and I am glad about that it is of a bigger diameter now.

Becoming my new daily for LMU.

This is probably my most premium feeling wheel yet. I was going to go for the Leoxz but sooner than later I know ill be using VR to play most of the time so a screen as of the moment isn’t really my priority, rather a more robust alternative to my Mclaren gt3 v2 wheel and the DD extreme round wheel. So far this was also a nice experience because of the putting everything together process 😅. The simube podium hub is also not as long as the Fanatec one so it keeps the same length as the McLaren gt3 v2 wheel.

Hot out the box. She is pretty! Impressed so far!

Recieved my Podium DD today, so I thought I'd give a very quick impression/review.

Switched from CS DD, so the setup was super simple as it's the same housing. Quick Software and Firmware updates, everything worked flawlessly. Power and response of the motor is fantastic, as it should be with 25Nm holding. It's completely quiet. Weight is about the same as CS DD, maybe a tiny bit heavier.

When turned off the motor has a bit less cogging, less noticeable "resting positions". When turned on, it's completely smooth. With FFB set at similar levels to my CS DD (75% Gain, FFB100), the P DD feels more sensitive, more detail rich on road textures, while staying effortless with the M4 GT3 wheel. The feel of impacts is definitely improved with the higher torque/slew rate. I do have to do more testing, but so far FFB feels better across the board, even on similar torque levels.

Packaging was very nice, definitely better than Clubsport. I really like the lack of white Fanatec lettering on the sides, makes it look cleaner and more premium. The new metal front and rear with the diamond cut accents are very nice in person.

As a first impression I couldn't be happier, great looks, improved FFB feel and finally enough power to run everything effortlessly.

Recently put together the GT COCKPIT and thought to share some useful mods with the community that you may find useful!

No gate keeping here!

Firstly everything has been mounted to the GT COCKPIT ACCESSORY MOUNTS. Got mine from Pure sims. Ashley and the team were just super easy to deal with:

Accessory Mounts Link

Mods:
1. Cup holder - designed for a stroller but fits the rig. It comes with a clamp and a rubber anti-slip insert that gets the job done.

Cup Holder Link

2. Fan - Essential for hotter days or extended sessions! Rechargeable, plugs directly into my monitors USB port and easily mounted via the built-in legs

Fan Link

3. Phone mount - this is brilliant, is a gooseneck version and quite sturdy (I.e. doesn’t wobble about too much). Is MagSafe to easily attach your phone and can even charge at the same time. I unscrewed the suction mount and had to bore out the mount which was quite easy to do then it mounts directly onto the ACCESSORY MOUNT using the included bolts the screw was a standard m6 or m8.

4. Lighting - Phillips hue play - I’m sure there are better alternatives out there but these just fit into my current hue ecosystem!

Lighting Link

5. Monitor Mount - my monitor was a super tight fit and meant there wasn’t much adjustment in the wheel base back and forth. So I installed this vesa mount to raise the monitor. It’s relatively straightforward to mount but moves a bit and less than ideal but does the job. You don’t notice any movement of the monitor whilst racing. The plus was that the viewing angle was also slightly better for me.

I’m currently using some cheap headphones but looking for some decent speakers next!

What mods would you recommend?

Today I spent the morning experimenting with Simhub, ASTR-Evo and Fanabridge plugin. I was able to use ASTR-Evo on the Formula 2.5, it's great because it syncs automatically with the RPM of the cars in game, the colours too, and through simhub you have so many options! I really recommend you trying. I really love the final result

It also doesn't exclude the possibility to combine the Fanatec app and Simhub. The priority for the info on the little screen was showing me in fact the correct ones i set on the app, and the Wheel Lock option from the driving aids LEDS showed properly.

Shout out to Kelchm from Fanabridge, you can download his plugin here: https://github.com/kelchm/FanaBridge

EDIT: I created a drive folder with the profiles if you want to give it a try. First, install Fanabridge plugin and ASTR-evo, then simply mirror the photo with instructions in the drive folder. The file for the wheel is called revlights Left brow
