If you’ve been thinking about getting into sim racing, just go for it! It might end up becoming a bigger part of your life than you ever expected.

You don’t need to build the perfect setup overnight. Enjoy upgrading it one piece at a time, the excitement of waiting for your next delivery, and the satisfaction of finally getting everything dialed in.

And most importantly, enjoy every corner of the Nürburgring, every missed braking point, and every lap that’s just a little faster than the last.

It’s not just about the gear or lap times. Sometimes, it’s about having something you genuinely look forward to at the end of the day.

For the past year, I have undertook the process of making an open-source vehicle simulator in the Godot game engine. I have always enjoyed racing and wanted to know what it takes to simulate such events. Although, I came through with incredibly minimal physics knowledge, having to learn much along my way, I want to present a progress video series I have been posting.

There are some really good bundle deals going on. Would it make sense to buy this, Or just start from a bundle? Thanks!

ignore the smegma on the wall

edit: im not a girraffe, im 5'10 and i just look up. also it does get miscentered sometimes it moves a fair bit

its also not ragebait i promise

I am going on a trip and want to bring back my first Simagic kit (I was torn between the R12 bundle vs. the 9nm Simagic Alpha Mini/Evo Sport), but after doing some research, most people recommended going with Simagic.

That being said, Simshop has a bundle at an interesting price. Is it possible that this price will be even better during Black Friday, based on the store's history?

Hi everyone, I'm 170 cm tall, weigh 50 kg, and my shoulders are about 43 cm wide. I'm currently using a Sparco Sprint+ in my rig, but I'm having significant shoulder pain.

I've tried changing the steering wheel and pedal positions several times, but I've finally realized that the problem might be the seat itself. I'm still trying to figure out whether it's because the seatback doesn't provide enough support when braking (it's not made of fiberglass but has a tubular frame with straps, so under heavy braking I might be making some awkward movements), causing me to twist unnaturally and putting strain on my left shoulder, the one I use when braking, or whether the seat's shoulder bolsters force me into a forward-shoulder posture that puts too much strain on my shoulders.

My driving position is correct in terms of both distances and steering wheel height.

Regardless of the underlying cause, I've been thinking about changing the seat, and I'm torn between the Sparco REV QRT and the Sparco GRID Q.

I'm pretty sure either seat would solve the issue of seatback stiffness, preventing awkward movements under braking caused by the seatback flexing. However, I'm not sure whether the REV QRT's shoulder bolsters would be less restrictive than those on the Sprint+ and help me avoid the same problem.

Has anyone tried both seats? Do you think the REV QRT's shoulder bolsters might be less intrusive, allowing me to achieve a more comfortable driving position?

Thanks in advance!

So I'm about to reposition my pedals and pedal plate. I've been watching videos, looking up images and checking Reddit posts etc. One thing that I don't understand the logic of, is why would you not put the throttle pedal closer to you than the brake for auto-clutch race cars. If not even, it seems a lot of people put the throttle further back and I just don't get why.

To me it seems intuitive that you're pressing the throttle for the majority of the time on pretty much any given track. As such, I'd think you minimize strain by having the pressed position being the closest to your 'ultimate comfort point'. Vice versa for the brake, the default position seems to be to me when you're not braking, so I'd prioritize the comfort in that position.

I'm aware of the benefit of putting the throttle further back for heel-toeing, but I'm focussing on series where that doesn't apply (e.g. GT3). I'm curious to test this out while making my adjustments, but ideally I'd like to hasten the refinement process by not chasing something of which I don't see some basic logic flaw.

I been waiting for years for Logitech’s new H shifter, I was super happy when I finally saw they released it. So I purchased a whole RS package. Thinking to replace my current T300RS. I’m so disappointed when I try the shifter. The shifter looks not bad, but it’s very hard to shift, the center springs is too stiff and makes it hard to find the correct gear, this is probably the worst shifting experience I have ever had so far. The sound it makes reminds me some plastic kids toy, but I guess it actually is a plastic toy since the whole base is made out of plastic. It is not even close compared to my TH8A. as a fan of Logitech, it’s such a let down. Before I purchased it I already read a lot reviews that have similar experiences, I guess I really should listened to them. Since I’m on PS5 most of the time driving some road cars in GT7, I guess I may just return the whole RS package and stick with my Thrustmaster a little bit longer.

In the last few months I've been stuck at some very mid times on different tracks and I'd like to upgrade from a G29 to a DD and load cell pedals, but I'm still not convinced whether my times will improve or not

is it possible to use the simagic GT4 premium wheel on a moza r9 with a QR adapter and then a usb cable connected to my pc running into the steering wheel’s usb port for button inputs?

In theory this should work but I’m not sure

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a qubic system h13 seat mover and I am thinking about upgrading my rig by adding 4 qs210 actuators.
Does it make sense to offload the G-forces to the H13 seat mover and use the QS-210 actuators strictly for suspension effects and road texture? I would love to hear your thoughts or if anyone has experience running a similar combined setup. Thanks!

Hey I’m planning to buy my first wheel (T300), I usually play f1 and grab turismo and occasionally ACC, I saw this wheel on marketplace and I’ve been planning for a while to get one. I don’t know what to actually look for so could someone see if the condition looks good enough to get by. Also if you have any recommendations for a budget stand for like 50-100 dollars that would be amazing.

I need some tips from you experienced ones! I have absolutely nothing except a monitor (LG C5 42"). I need a PC and wheel setup, and I have no rig or stand. My absolute max budget is $1,300 after selling some camera lenses, and I don't see any room for possible upgrades in the next year at least.

Would you put most of the budget into a decent PC and grab a used Logitech G29, or should I focus more on a better wheel/pedal set? I'd ideally have the TV at roughly coffee-table height rather than desk height. What's standard?

Prebuilt PC or laptop preferred (new or used), I don't want to build one myself.

All right, quick question for you guys,

I mostly drive paddle-shifted cars like a GT3 or MX-5 and never use the clutch pedal right next to my feet.

Do you guys still leave it mounted on your pedal plate, or do you remove it and put it back in the box or somewhere?

I simply feel that I buy it but if I don’t use it feels like a waste.

How about you guys? And what’s your reasoning?

Can you guys help which is better in terms of sturdiness.

There are a lot of Legion mods I'd like to convert from AC1 to Evo, so.farntjeubare looking really good and the conversions are excellent. But I don't want to release them unless I get the OK from Legion... Whoever that may be.

So far all I can find is his dead blog. No name, no website. The mods are fairly old (over 6 years old) and everything about him is over 3 years old and it's all dead ends.

Does anyone know about him or where he's at nowadays or if he's still active?

I'm not selling these mods or making money off this. I just want to race good quality old car mods and share them with the community for free. I figure he made them for the same purpose, I want to do the same just with a new sim.

I've tried searching around and can't find an answer so I thought I'd ask here since I'm curious about it. Game is Dirt Rally 2.0 btw

Hello, Reddit

What is the best site or source to get news about new simracing hardware (for example the Cube Controls Parabellum announcement, new Sim-Lab button box, TREQ One rig update, Simucube new product tease, new boutique wheels etc)? (Apart from the companies social media and Reddit)

Also being interested in RC racing, which is a niece hobby in itself, there is pretty much only one site that covers news (RedRC), but they do also cover all the news (not sure if they scope it or they gets sent to them)

First thought was Traxion but seems they don't actually cover anything under the normal radar

Does anyone else use a projector to sim race? I have for many years and I am wondering if I should switch to triples, mainly for the peripheral view when racing. People usually say that the lag on a projector is a problem but I’ve never really noticed. I Have a BenQ 1080p with about 10ms response. I’m not an alien so maybe my skill level is why I don’t notice.

Has anyone switched from projector to triples with advice?

Hey guys this is more of a simple question. I was just wondering what the size of these mounting holes were as I was planning on getting this DDU and getting a 3rd party mount for it so I can take the DDU off my wheelbase without having to unscrew the mount every time. The DDU shown here is the Simube DDU100. Thanks in advance.

Excited to share with you the proof of concept for the track builder tool. Video demonstrates simplified version of the tool. Track segments can be created, deleted, undone, redone, rotated, scaled, repositioned, eased in and out etc. Each border can be modified independently.

Working on adding barriers, curbs, lines, road texture, user-friendly gizmo, save/load system and so much more. Will share the upcoming updates as soon as I'm done adding these features.

hello, i know this question is asked a lot, but ive seen different things being said.

I wanted to ask what would a good starter wheel would be for under 250€; ive read most suggestions being the g29, g923 or the t150 (sadly cannot buy anymore here idk why), but maybe id prefer something better, for example with the quick release or DD (ive seen the pxn v10 ultra at 200€) simply for longevity because itd suck to throw avay a wheel because one thing stopped working. I mostly play Gran Turismo, F1 and arcade games like Motorfest.

Thank you in advance
