Integrated graphics, set throttle to spacebar, place keyboard on the floor = Ultimate setup

I was just at GameStop asking about how to get into sim racing. This is perfect timing

[notraiden]

He missed one thing
Do u have enough space for ur setup

Sim drivning can actually make you a better driver I started drifting in for a horizon 4 with sim and when I got my car back I actually drifted better then I hade ever done and I lost my driver license for 6 months so I didn’t drive a real car and when I got it back all my friends were shocked that I drifted better then ever before so it was kinda fun :)

I got a g29 for $90. It came with peddle+shifter+wheel.

i got a complete Logitech G27 from a guy for 100$ a while back. still having a blast in Assetto Corsa to this day. If you don't wanna spend fat stacks for a higher end rig, the G27 is more than enough for fun and you can get used for dirt sheap. Highly recommend it

This video definitely came at the right time for me. I was thinking about a nice father and son bonding project during lockdown which wouldn’t break the finances too badly and this fits the bill nicely👍🏼

I WAS WATCHING OTHER VIDEOS FOR SIM RACING AND THEN I SEE IDEAL MEDIA UPLOADED THIS DAMN THIS WAS OUT OF THE BLUE!!!!

I was about to give up on getting the G29 steering wheel and the play seat challenge because I was looking into those before I saw this video. As soon as you mentioned those things, I got excited because you confirmed that they were good for starters. Keep the great content coming 🤟🤟

I think there’s a misconception that iRacing is some kind of end-all be-all for sim racers. There’s actually a lot of issues with the physics, particularly when it comes to how the game handles oversteer. And the price tag for it is pretty insane. I also would absolutely not discount the quality of AC, ACC, rFactor, and Automobilista 2. I would put all of these (especially ACC) on the same level as if not better than iRacing.

I would love to build a setup for two-player racing. I think it would be fun to go head-to-head against friends. It's fine to set up a racing wheel and share it with friends, but to be able to go against them in a race (like at an arcade), that'd be a blast.

I love sim racing and you just answered all the things I have been asking my self about how to get setup. Thank you

[NuzzywtheWuzzy]

I built a pvc/junkyard seat rig a few years back. Definitely the best bang for your buck in terms of immersion

For beginners, the thrustmaster t150 is a real good option. Its a relatively cheap option and the pedals can be upgraded. I have used the wheel for 4 years, multiple times per week and ofcourse it had its wear and tear after that. However, it still worked fine!

[ryderthibodeau]

What are the odds!!! I’ve been seriously looking into sims recently, But don’t wanna spend a billion!

When I started sim racing I made my cockpit from an old tread mill frame.
I used plywood to cover the frame. Used my folding boat seat to sit on.
I had a Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel.
Now it's a GT Omega Art cockpit, RS9 seat and a G Pro wheel.
There are more expensive options but this is good enough for me.
I really enjoy sim racing.

Because of this video, I got into Sim Racing. Thank you for making this !!

I've been doing this for a couple months since I've watched this video for the first time. I'll upload some races soon !!

I got a friend of me really into sim raceing so he started to build his own sim in his off time. He made itr comepletly out of metal and paid 120€ for the material. So if you are able to do it yourself just do it it saves u so much money its insane :D

I have the Thrustmaster Ferrari Spider Wheel (can't remember the full, correct name) for the Xbox. I love it. It's a major improvement from the controller. It's not like the Logitech wheels (which are very good), but it is still very fun to use. Comfortable, grippy, easy to remember controls and buttons.

My set up for the last 3 years = PS4, G29, VEVOR stand, rubber floor mat ( like the ones used behind a parts counter ) a wooden box that I made and an actual car seat got a pair for free used the passenger side because it was in better shape. Great video 👍
