The rigs

Desk-mounted Logitech G27 with corresponding pedals, operated from an office chair. Single ASUS TUF 32" monitor.$566.62Cam Ebben104This is my sim I've been slowly upgrading since starting sim racing in 2020! I started with a Logitech MOMO (made in 2002) and have been obsessed with sim racing since. The latest upgrade was from the old Fanatec CSL Elite bundle to the Moza R12 and KS, which has been great. Next upgrade will definitely be the pedals, the SR-P pedals are getting pretty sqeaky.$1,934.66Jack Stacy102Bought some new Simagic hardware this summer =)$1,949.99Sol Stys61Stv Takumi's MySim$1,402.97Stv Takumi60DOF Reality H3 motion platform , Quest 3 and PSVR2 VR headsets with Fanatec CSLDD (8nm) base , R300 rim with Podium Button Module Endurance and CSL Elite Pedals V2.$779.98GT Racer40A bit of a dinosaur by todays standards but still the best I've ever been in so I love it and it gets the job done.

It has given me a lot of comfortable seat time, where my back wasn't hurting, like it used to be when racing in front of a desk. My current plans is to change the wheel base, as the G29 is on its final lap of its lifetime, and soon after the G29 pedals, as they have only one lap to go, before the potentiometers will drive me crazy. After that I will replace the steel upper parts of the rig with the aluminum construction profiles, while also improving the ergonomics of the keyboard and mouse placement for more pleasant gaming experience. What am I looking after in terms of the next upgrade? Most probably the CSL DD QR2 Ready2Race Bundle, as it will be way quieter and more on point.$329.99Blazo40Been driving for a few years on what is probably the most cursed rig known to mankind, g920 pedals laying on the ground next to mounted heusinkveld ultimate classics and a 9 year old g920 wheel rim on a 20nm DD as well as the loudest shifter I could've found... Recently during the nords 24h neighbours called the police on me due to a "consistent loud slamming noise" at night... I use the G920 pedal's throttle as a clutch and the brake pedal as a handbrake as I cannot afford either.$1,108.01HappyKojot45Just something that is drivable.$1,344.07MindSV30Wanted a Sim Rig and needed to practice welding for building a tube chassis truck so decided to build something easy and that could fit in my small space. Plan to upgrade everything... Want to do a full cockpit build when space allows, but until now it is staying small to fit easily in my office.$699.98ChaceB30i have next level racing victory cockpit and monitor arm that can swivel so i can play normal pc games on same monitor$744.03Luufer31Upgrade my wheel, wheel base and pedals$649.99Jodl30Wheel: Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2 Wheel Base: Fanatec CSL Elite Cockpit/Chassis: Next Level Racing Wheel Stand Monitor: 49" Odyssey Ultra Wide Seat: GTPlayer chair I appreciate the flexibility of my current setup, but I'm looking to upgrade everything. I'll start with my wheelbase and steering wheel. Once I upgrade to my first direct drive wheelbase, I plan to invest in a more sturdy rig and possibly set up triple monitors.$429.99Erckie30My portable and light weight Logitech rig gave my performance on the track a huge boost.$544.14Thomas Strommen31A sturdy and reliable DIY setup for a cockpit / sim rig. The wooden base is sturdy, and the extrusions are added in where needed to keep adjustabiltiy at a maxmimum relative to price. Full X-Y-Z adjustment on the wheelbase & Z adjustment on angled rails for the pedals. Car seat retains their sliders so driving position can be optimizied. I'm thinking of switching over to an ultrawide monitor setup, as VR drivers (specifically Oculus drivers) can be a bit of a pain to get working sometimes, at least in my specific use-case.$1,004.97Focus_SV30It does the job, the seat feels like a bucket seat, and the actifit helps me cool down in intense races. I’m planning to upgrade to a RS50 and upgrade the cockpit later.$564.13KidsSimRacing20Theboyeddy3's MySim$599.98Theboyeddy320Im planning on getting a new wheel or pedal set soon.
