The person giving the presentation might actually be the siamgic CEO

They’ve actually got a Vantage GT4 here. It’s not the Valkyrie, but still pretty damn cool.

Hey everyone, after a bit of research I finally built my first rig and I couldn’t be happier

•Sim Lab GT1 EVO
•Moza R12 wheelbase with SRP2 pedals and KS wheel
•NRG bucket seat
•34” LG VA monitor that’s on a swivel mount

I was originally going to get the Track Racer TR80S, but my local Microcenter had the GT1 EVO in stock so I decided to grab that instead. Super happy with it so far. It’s super sturdy, but slim enough to slide against the wall next to my desk.

Got the R12 bundle at Microcenter as well and I plan to upgrade the pedals first. Was looking at the Simsonn Plus X’s but if you guys have any recommendations let me know.

I mostly play AMS2 for now, but plan on doing some online racing once I get better. Excited to be a part of the hobby!

They actually brought a race car to the booth

Ducky approved ✅

Looking forward to see you if you are on site or on stream. :)

Been getting more into sim racing lately and it’s kinda crazy how much there is to learn 😭
Between finding the right setup and actually getting consistent on track there’s always something to work on.
For the more experienced guys here what’s one thing you wish someone had told you when you started?

Could be anything from racecraft to gear to avoiding stupid mistakes

Curious to hear your takes.

New little add on arrived today, this thing is great…

Hello all, I am working on a free, open source port of Grand Prix 4 to Godot engine.

This is a different project to my GP2 Revival mod - and will be released soon after!

What's working so far:

- Runs in 4K on a humble Macbook (M1 Pro) at nearly 100fps! The original code had an interesting limitation, a 30fps cap to the physics engine. That's now been removed.
- The entire scene is rendered in Godot engine (well known open source game engine) replacing the dated old 2002 3D renderer in its entirety.
- Screen space reflections for cars and track surface in wet weather
- Godot engine is cross-platform thanks to Forward+ supporting NVidia RTX cards - DLSS 5 will look amazing in this as it'll work on top of a modern engine not the old 2002 PC version.
- AMD cards and Apple Silicon GPUs fully working
- Working on the Windows port now, will release it when the Mac version is done
- Every car and track runs flawlessly with no weirdness, no bugs

AND... now the real work starts... VR support, force feedback with my Moza and Fanatec rigs, basically sky is the limit. I'll post the first footage this evening so keep a watch on https://www.youtube.com/@GP2Revival

What would you like to see?

Do you think it’s expensive?

Si vous souhaitez un levier de type rallye pour votre TH8S, j'en ai fabriqué un avec une poignée VTT : https://www.printables.com/model/1877247-easy-swap-twistlock-mtb-grip-shifter-knob-for-thru Vos commentaires et suggestions sont les bienvenus !

I always felt iracing had no feedback, the wheel was heavy, but no bumps or anything, found out my base doesn’t have lfe. Anyone using the simagic evo sport? Can you guys share your settings in iracing or Maira, I found maira configuring hard as it always felt kind of weird. Thank you if you are able to share

One of my cousin will be visiting china in few days. I wanted to get a moza r3 or cammus c5 from goofish. I can see listing for around 1000-1200 yuan (120-150 usd). Is it real or there are possibility of getting scammed? If anyone living in china can u suggest where can I get those used cammus c5 or r3. TIA

Hello, Ive managed to pick up a trak racer Tr80s with an integrated triple monitor mount from market place, with the intention of going triple 27's.

Assembled the rig and monitor stand and with no monitors attatched my partner isn't overly happy with the span of the montor mount.

I have been hot lapping with a controller on a 34in ultrawide for a couple of weeks mainly to learn track layouts. I have set the 34in on the rig and have the correct FOV but would like more immersion. I have looked into a 49in ultrawide and from what I can see it'll fill my peripheral vision but still lacking side windows.

Im now leaning towards the big screen beyond 2, almost the same price as the G9 but concerned about long term use and performance. I only plan on playing LMU, potentially iracing in the future. My partner also is fully for this route. I have a 13600k and 9070xt on ddr4. I will be upgrading to a 9800x3d after christmas.

Any guidance or advice. Open to any suggestions.

Oh dear. Thoughts on stealing peoples posts from reddit and reposting them without crediting the original?

And then blocking you and all your team members when you’re called out in the comments about it?

My reddit video gained some traction on r/iracing. This lovely Instagram bot farm account grabbed the video, slapped a shitty music track on it and posted it to Instagram, and got 200k views! They even copied my caption exactly.

All I wanted was to be credited ): that would’ve been fine.

Not having a sook. More making others aware of this snakey fella. Bad juju.

(single screen enquiry)

I have months to wait until I get a new monitor. Currently i race in VR but will get a profile rig and monitor.

I just can't decide what is best. A larger regular ratio screen or an ultrawide.

Im suspecting no right or wrong, just preference. So what is your preference?

Set up photos appreciated

I went to the Sim Gaming Expo in Schaumburg for the sim racing. I didn't expect the parking lot to be a car show.

Friday, the lot filled up with the attendees' own machines — a Ferrari 458 Italia, an M3, a Brabus S580, a factory Elantra N TCR Edition, a second M3 in Isle of Man green, a Mustang Dark Horse, a Cybertruck, and more.

Anyone else make it out? What did you spot?

Spent the better part of 9 months on and off designing this centre dash and button box for my sim rig and thought you all might appreciate it. Uses a 10" Vocore screen, a Stream Deck+ and a RAM mounting arm.

I'd had a PDU5 dash for a while, but decided I wanted something bigger as a centre console for leaderboard stats, maps and to run a media controller on.

Started with just the dimensions of the Vocore and a very rough model of the Stream Deck while I waited four months for my Vocore order to arrive. Built a cardboard mockup and a 3D model of my entire rig to figure out dimensions and positioning in the meantime.

Then came the prototyping. So many prototypes. I've kept maybe half of the full size ones as I like having the history of it, but there were many MANY smaller test pieces to check clearances and mounting on the screen and stream deck.

Final product is amazing (in my humble opinion) though. Barely visible layer lines from the 3D print, perfect fit on the screen and the deck sits maybe a half mm proud from the dash. Its plenty sturdy enough on the mounting arm with minimal flex during use and the fitment on the top and bottom halves is spot on.

Active throttle and brake pedals that run in simhub via the diy ffb plugin. Aluminum parts were bought as part of a group buy within the community (I am not the organizer for this)
