The Ultimate Sim Racing Setup for Casuals

Direct drive wheel bases have come down in price so it's the best time to build a high quality and good looking desk mounted sim racing setup. And the whole rig can be set up and put away in less than 5 minutes.

I agree that there must definitely be some demand for more of this kind of use-case. It's exactly what I'm hoping to get set up also. I like the idea of a cheap direct drive wheel, but would really rather it be more on the compact end (like the Cammus C5), as I just don't have the space for a wheel-stand, let alone a full cockpit. My only issue with the current options on offer are all the horror stories about their after-sale support - Moza, Cammus and Fanatec just have such bad reputations for customer service right now.

This is great. I've been looking to get into sim racing and have been thinking about the best setup to use. Thanks.

I was on a desk mount setup for no more than a week, before I decided to build myself a DIY wooden rig. That wooden rig lasted a few months before I ultimately decided to dive in to a proper rig. I get that a lot of these dedicated rigs doesn't look pleasing, but have you seen the rest of the room of those who build these rigs? They are 95% of the time, just as messy, and definitely not pleasing to look at. With some time and effort, you can have a big dedicated eyesore of a rig, be pleasing to look at. Cable management is key (as you certainly know).

If this kind of setup satisfies your simulator needs, more power to you! 😁

btw for those looking for a less obvious alternative to a wheelstand look at coffee racer.

I got this wheel a few weeks back and ive been really happy with it but the desk clamp issue is a pain, i emailed them about the problem and they said it was my fault! 🙄 I'm going to send this video to them

Ahha yep as an fps gamer that occasionally likes drifting I know this problem very well. I had a g29 setup for my desk 2 years ago but sold it to save space and buy more mousepads. Recently I really had the urge to get back into it but wanted a super clean setup that’s minimal and easy to put back. Was thinking of getting the Moza r3 though as it looks tiny.

I really wish companies would make wireless usb shifters though as it’s so annoying having to setup up the shifter each time.

I appreciate how zour videos are always nice and short.

[csakzozo]

Such a clean setup and video. If you would have included VR, would have been perfect!

[TheJubess]

Nice, I have been eying the fanatec set up for quite sometime...but i couldn't brink myself to spend that much. This is a lot fairer priced for me.

[Basiliomadera]

amazing video! very recently I got into sim racing and I have a very similar setup but I couldn't resist and I need to ask, please share the mod list and settings for assetto Corsa, it looks incredible.

Which driving game do you prefer more?

[kivanccelik]

THIS! Hey man, I didn't know you were into simracing! Just like you, I would like to have a civilised sim racing setup that is easy to put away, I thought I was lonely...

[eedoamitay]

Nice to see the minimalist setup here, I have a full on rig, but it's about getting the right equipment for the right job. Do you do any ACC by any chance?

[Chase.Gaming.]

Is the Logitech g29 with shifter good for a desk?

[CookinBeatloaf]

I wish they had some stronger folding/moveable options even if they cost more. The community's "get at least an 8020 rig" is unnecessary gatekeeping

[otavioteixeira]

What do tou think about those paddle shifts? Looks very small and that concerns me a lot, since my hands are kinda small

[bosiorne]
