New Project
following months i will do a new real vs sim project. i did already some XBOW vs SIM work, but this time i step into GT3. I will merge my sim with this beauty - a 991.2 CUP including ABS upgrade.
in a first shot i was asked to fix the steering wheel - Reverse button was not working - and a simracing expert has the original APEM hat home
honestly that was not a big challenge and the CUP steering wheel is ready to go
all tests went well - steering wheel back to the Porsche and we hope to hear this sound soon on the racetrack - its planned to do the first stints mid october.

Next, i started to set my pedals to the real feel. OK, my simtag are not inverted, but the pedal feel and pressure are 98% the same - now i know what simtag customers (real race driver) mean, when saying "it feels exactly the same". I was already super happy about real vs sim on XBOW - but when it comes to the Porsche - honestly its again much closer.
some ideas out of the last project brainstorming
- new steering wheel for my sim
- new Cosworth DDU for my sim
- new tactile & motion sensations
- ABS
- real vs sim telemetry data like already done, but a bit more detailed

next chapter in this amazing project/journey
i drove the Porsche GT3 Cup at Slovakia Ring - we spent 3 days on the racetrack together with the team with the clear mission
learn - listen - feel - execute
the repaired steering wheel was working without any problems
looks like sim knowledge is good enough for motorsports ......
let me share some highlights
sim preparation before we went on the track - with racelogic and motec
for sure we had some technical problems - like a broken V-belt - a minor Porsche tear down and a great example to get in touch with the racing hardware
great weather and a great track - for sure the GT3 cup is nice too
to get most out of my driving, the team offered a PRO coach to improve my skills as quick as possible
back home i started the deep dive to understand the car and driving data. Beside gained experience i will use all car data to improve/update my simrig setup (motion, tactile, force feedback). But now its time to read manuals and gain cosworth pi tool experiences.

Such an incredible rig!! I’m assuming you made the heel rest for your pedals?
thanks for your feedback
yes, my design - but the lasercut was done in a CNC shop
Epic, thanks. Have dropped you a pm with some questions. Hope that’s ok!
Hi @Aidan Hanlon ,
let me answer to the whole audience - supports the forum and other people maybe interested too. i made the following design in AUTOCAD Mechanical and sent it to a leaser cut company. I decided to use 3mm stainless steel. The green arrow marks the bending - the shop should be able to bend steel, but his is not needed, just a cosmetic thing to cover the 80/20 construction.

as i will have more and more training sessions with different cars i was looking for a life hack to change the seat angle in few seconds
i newer loved my seat pillow - it was just too big - i hate when my legs touch the pillow during racing and during sim training - so the next life hack - just replaced it by a standard pillow foam. so much better feel
