Show us your rig 004.jpg


In August of 2011, bob808 showed us this cool setup, based on an arcade machine format. The electronics beneath the surface were all modern for the era, but the vintage arcade format was great looking and very functional.

Some great photos! Reminds me of when I first started riding motorcycles, I turned up at a biker cafe on my tiny Honda CM125c. Surrounded by folks riding really impressive machinery, I felt a little embarrassed until a guy next me pointed at my bike and said "You're still one of us". It doesn't matter what rig you have, you're one of us.

Ahhh I had that flag too. Nice memories.

This was my rig would have looked like in the 90s. GP, GP2

A Z , . haha that's definitely a "show me you're a 90s sim racer without telling me you're a 90s sim racer" thing

I am still just attaching my old g25 to my desk when I want to race. I'm surprised it still runs ok after all these years. It tends to smell with a lot of use.

They are not the greatest in terms of realism or sheer power, but those older Logitech wheels could last forever. I used a DFGT for almost ten years I think? And I had already bought it second hand. Regular maintenance and regreasing helped a lot I guess.

I think people should not post their normal rigs in this thread now, this is what that legendary one is for ;)

..but please keep posting oddballs :roflmao:
