Show us your Rig / Cockpit

[Andrew Sebastian]

Did you have a rollover accident?

No, I’m driving the Gordon Murray fan car, creates so much downforce you can drive on the ceiling!

Designed for driving in comfort. Lol

Mounted into a 30mm thick table, was surprisingly solid with very little shake running at 40% power on DD1.

Ooh, that looks super comfy, a glass of bourbon on the side and you are racing in style. Well done on the wheel/shifter mount.

I thought these were just a myth .

No seems pretty real but yeah hard to get in most places,
really happy with it though its just a powerhouse well will be when I add this waterblocks and such to it

Urban myth, better chance to get struck by the lightning or witness UFO than get your hands on one.

I'm new to sim racing and thought I'd share my rig with those who might find it interesting. This is the RS500 (also known as the RS1 if you use a Logitech wheel) from Ricmotech. It's not 100% done yet, but I figured I'd share it as is. I'll make sure to update the lists below and add more images as I work on the build. If you can think of anything that might help improve the build or would be nice for a noob to know, I'd be happy to hear from you

Main Components

• RS500 chassis from Ricmotech (DIY build)
• Thrustmaster T300 RS GT wheel
• Thrustmaster T3PA Pro pedals
• Thrustmaster TH8A shifter
• DIY handbrake
• Sony 42" TV
• NRG racing seat

Build Videos
Part 1 - RS500 Main Rig Build
Part 2 - RS500 Console and Mounting Hardware
DIY Bass Shakers (Tactile Transducers)

Near Future Plans

• Button box built into the console
• Carpeting the platform
• Wrapping the rig in laminate
• T molding on the edges
• Outfitting some sort of speaker system
• Adding LEDs and other electronic components for fun

Looking good. I have the same seat. What a great deal it was. No complaints!

My only complaint is that if you go for a long session (2+ hours) the seat gets uncomfortable. I rarely have time for that these days, but when I do, it would be cool not to be sore after I'm done. lol - I think I'm going to add some memory foam to the seat eventually, but we'll see.

Pretty new to sim racing, started off with a csl elite package with an obutto r3volution rig.
But have recently upgraded to a sim lab rig and DD1 with clubsport v3 pedals, loving the upgrade over the csl elite. My rig is in a tight 10ft by 3.5ft walk in wardrobe next to my bedroom, it just about works space wise as I race in VR, I only use the monitor for setting the races up.

Well, it´s exactly enough space for you

And when you are anything like me you won´t need the radiator in there,
more likely air condition.

Haha the radiator is turned off, the pc easily warms the room up even though its cold in the UK right now

 

[stigs2cousin]

Additionally i myself contribute to the warmth in the room .

Its not that warm in Germany either.

1. Nice usage of an otherwise useless room
2. That adaptor plug in the wall socket makes me itch. One thoughtless step and everything is levered off.
3. I think it was Jimmy Broadbent who said something similar to "Place the emergency button where you can reach it with your feet, not with your hands, 'cause when you need it you most likely will have your wrists broken"

I race in VR so won't be able to find it quickly with my feet, it's easy reachable with my hand where it is...... And hopefully should never have to use it.
As to the extension cable I've just bought a solution which should be going on this week, appreciate the input though

Dario, despite being invisible, and naked, sat in his rig.

Wearing only his race shoes, and gloves.

"This time I'll win... this time...."



Nice setup!
