Building my Trak Racer TR160S!! Full Sim Racing Setup - Part 1

It's official, I am building a new sim racing setup from the ground up!
And we are starting with the rig. I went with the Trak Racer TR160S as it offers the best of both worlds: rigidity, adjustability and looks.
It felt like the best option, as I am planning to make this setup more GT-oriented.
I also love that the 160S is offered in blue, which I think makes it more special and unique.

Next step is adding the monitor mount and screen, then the gear! If you want to see the full build series, make sure to subscribe and activate notifications!

I ordered the blue TR160S after watching this video. Great looking rig and blue is my favorite color. Thanks!

[MalcomMcLeod]

The Blue looks super nice! Hope companies have more color options for aluminum extrusion rigs.

[Nixqy]

The color is so cool, really dig that

Now to vacuum up all the aluminium filings that fall out of the cut profiles while assembling. Looks good. TR rigs are solid.

I love the color, it looks like it'll be a more comfortable rig.

It is so refreshing hearing someone say the word properly as it was intended - Aluminium

[eagletrippin]

I just built an ASR6, so I won't be changing rigs anytime soon. But, that "Alpine" blue tho😍😍😍

[giogamer]

Im rocking my Fanatec DD+ on my reinforced Playseat Challenge and love it, but damnn this blue rig looks great if I ever want to change the rig

Where did you mount the power supply for wheel base on your rig.

[shaungarrard]

whatare your thoughts on the gt seat, not hard on tne back etc as isnt adjustable

[fasterdanu]

Out of curiosity, why have you chosen to go with tripple monitors opposed to VR headset. As im older i do find i get a bit of motion sickness, but with these higher resolution models wondering if this is not much of an issue, plus imersion i would think would be far better, however for what ever reason most youtube sim racerers still use tripple screens, simply not sure why?

[Lorenzodial]

Wow you have 2 now! So I still need one! And I see your biceps popping! 💪🏾

The setup is cool and the color is nice. Everything looks sturdy. Please do a review once you get everything intact. I’m looking for something, maybe a rally set up in the future. Thanks!

Recently assembled the sim lab p1x pro: the instructions are terrible and the parts are not labeled so I had to trial and error hoping I had the correct length screws for each step. Track racer looks like provide a much better user experience for assembly.

[Dylan_Miller]

Any flex in the slider for the seat? Do you think it worth hard mounting instead?

[kosths_mlmt]

Hello Sarah, very nice review. I just have one question, have you considered reviewing rigs from other brands like Sim Lab or Next Level Racing too?

[tingshawn]

Which rig would you go with if you could only have one and why?

[jacktracks]

Looks easy to set up. Think I might go this direction. I want to use a third party seat and sliders. A Cordbleu FX1 Wide. Any idea if I need to buy anything special to mount this or will I need special brackets. I’ll sent track racer a message too.

[ipolendo]

Great video! Sarah, in your opinion which type of seat is more comfortable regardless if you are racing a formula, GT, endurance sim race? you mentioned your other rig being formula type oriented and this one a GT. Regards.

Blue being my favorite color, this looks sweet!! Looking forward to the rest of this series, are you planning on adding full motion, or will I just have to wait?? 😊 Did you happen to watch those video links I sent you in your previous iRacing video?? Passe un bonne fin de semaine. Pierre. 👍
