r/SimRacingSetups

Hello guys I am new to sim racing and I was hoping to buy a starter wheel and I want to ask if a 280 euro moza r3 is worth it or should I get the g920 for 200 euros.

Advice on selling my ex husb’s Tuff Shed office

We purchased this Tuff Shed in 2021 (Austin, TX) and had it finished with materials from our home reno. It’s got a mini split. No plumbing. It was his home office and is 10x12. It’s gone unused since my ex moved out two years ago and I’d like to have this yard space back to do something for myself and kids. No interest in relocating it in my own yard. I’m also not trying to recapture a lot of $ because I just want it gone. We have a fenced yard and narrow side yard so backing a truck up beyond my driveway is not feasible. Logistically, is disassembling going to be a pain for whoever I sell it to? I’m hoping to have some intel bc it’ll determine what price I set. Appreciate y’all’s info!! Ty in advance.

Best quality rig that ships fast?

What is a really good quality rig that will ship fast? I ordered a sim rig off advanced sim racing and they refunded me. I’m pretty disappointed with them. I’m looking to spend around 1,000 to 2,000 on a rig. What are some good options?

What pedals should I get?

I am currently looking at options for new pedals, as I feel like the old ones are starting to limit my laptimes and I don’t know what pedals I should get.

I am looking at the Conspit CPP Evo V2 and the Sim-Lab XP1 pedals. If any of you has these pedals, I would love to hear your experiences with them, and if they are worth it. I am also interested in other options, so I am grateful for recommendations as well.

Beginner Seeking Advice: Moza vs. Simagic? Which Wheel Stand?

Hello, as the title says, I have very little sim racing experience but am currently looking to get into the hobby. After doing a bunch of research over the past week, I was originally planning to buy into the Moza ecosystem and go with the R9 V3 base, but I've been having some second thoughts after posting to a few subs and am now really considering going with Simagic, per others' recommendations. From what I've gathered, their products not only seem to be of nicer quality, but they also have a great deal on their 9 Nm entry bundle right now, which fits perfectly into my price range (around $800). I made this post last night asking for advice on what to purchase as far as Moza products/ecosystem and other hardware for my rig, but I think I might backtrack that sentiment now in favor of spending my money on Simagic products instead.

Does anyone have any thoughts regarding purchasing Moza vs. Simagic products as a beginner? A buddy told me to go with Simagic over Moza because their products are just higher quality. Also, I do see myself engaging with the hobby long-term, in case that changes anything. Some have been saying that Moza is more for the metaphorical "casual" sim racer, not someone who sees themselves potentially upgrading their rig further relatively soon and getting more and more into the sport over time, like myself.

Lastly, I also fully intend to purchase a wheel stand (leaning towards the NLR 2.0) because I will be buying a 9 Nm base along with entry-level load cell pedals, each of which pretty much necessitate a sturdy stand, and wanted to seek twofold advice on what stand to buy and what stand(s) work well with Simagic products. Thanks for reading and feel free to ask any questions if you need more information about anything.

Expectations of cost

Hi all,

Sorry for the vagueness of a rookie here.

I wanted to get started on a sim rig; (my wife finally gave me the ok 😂) I can dedicate a fair amount of money to it; but I wanted to see what I should expect to spend for a moderate rig, and where I should dedicate my money. I frequented F1experience and had an amazing time the last few times I went.

I was thinking of probably spend between $600-$1200? Is this even realistic? If so what should I cheap out on; what should I splurge on. Educate me. I have lurked on the page and read a bunch of Info; but there’s a lot of differing opinions on things. So any perspective to my situation would be appreciated.
(Games I expect to play; Arcade racers, F1)

My current set up. Will having a screen mounted be more immersive/faster?

So I am about 2m away from a 100inch screen here. To be honest I love it. But I’ve been drawn in by the Simlab GTevo and S1 Enduro seat so think I’m going to order.

Now I need to decide do I have it in front of the tv like the trophy is or do I mount a 43 inch monitor on the rig?

I’m very new to sim racing so is there any big benefits to having the screen smaller but closer?

EDIT: I bought PSVR2 but it made me sick and I was slower and just didn’t enjoy it

Easy affordable Sim racing setup?

I've recently had interest in sim wheels and pedals, I started to play forza horizon 6 and wanted to know what is a setup people usually go for. I know it isnt a real driving sim, but I wanted to try it out since I didnt in horizon 5. I will be playing on a regular gaming chair and on a desk any feedback/advice is appreciated

Edit: I forgot to mention for PC and also I am not too far from a microcenter in Tustin CA, if they have anything good

Can anybody help give me information about this F1 Playseat?

I'm not familiar with racing OR simulation whatsoever, so trying to sell and price something like this out is difficult. I was wondering if anybody could give some context about it, like model or who/what it's styled after, pricing, etc? I also just love learning about things that others are passionate about and the simracing community is perhaps one of the most passionate. The only think I understand about it is that it's from the mid 2010s. Any help is much appreciated!

Schmerzen oberhalb der Kniescheibe - Sim

Ich habe inzwischen extrem viele Positionen getestet: Sitzhöhe, Sitzneigung, Pedalhöhe, Pedalwinkel, Abstand, mit und ohne Schuhe usw.
Zusätzlich habe ich an meinem GT1 Evo extra zwei Aluprofil-Streben verbaut, damit ich die Pedale komplett frei positionieren kann.
Langsam habe ich das Gefühl, dass eventuell entweder der Sparco Sprint oder die Fanatec V3 ergonomisch einfach nicht wirklich zu mir passen.
Die Schmerzen starten nach wenigen Minuten, ebenfalls unabhängig von der intensität des Pedals und verschwinden je nach Intensität und Dauer nach 10 Minuten - 24 Std.
An meinem Knie wird es nicht liegen, da ich noch nie Probleme damit hatte und in echten GT3 Fahrzeugen stundenlang ohne Schmerzen fahre.
Vielleicht hat/hatte jemand ein ähnliches Setup und kennt die beschriebene Probleme. Anbei nochmal alle Informationen zum Setup:

Sim-Lab GT1 Evo
Sparco Sprint L
Fanatec CSL DD
Fanatec ClubSport V3 Pedale
ACC hauptsächlich GT3
1,86 m groß
linkes Knie Schmerzen oberhalb der Kniescheibe beim Bremsen
Problem nur im Simrig
Gefühl von Spannung im Quadrizeps

Beste Grüsse ✌️

Work in progress, work in progress

I think I should move the front monitor closer, dont like the gap there on the dashboard. Only way is to cut the roll bars, or should I make a dashboard to fit in That gap ​? And make 2 dashboards, so it can be easy to pop off and on, for different cars, cuz I drive 911 porsche , and would want dashboard for nascar.. 1 cost lil more money but get to keep the original look if the car roll cage, other no money but now have to do more cutting taking away more of the original look. 🤔 , wondering what would u guys do??

My New Rig! Close to Completion.

I put this together, over the last few weeks. I want to say thanks to everyone on this subreddit for posting your rigs and providing information to a layman like me that’s just getting into the hobby. I tried to keep my costs fairly low because I’m so new to all of this. The only thing that’s top of the line is my PC haha but that’s a system I already built for gaming in my living room. I’m still waiting on Next Level Racing to restock their shifter/handbrake mount as well as their overhead monitor mount.

Once I get my hands on those, I’ll be very satisfied with this setup. Thanks again everyone. Time to enjoy some Forza Horizon 6. 🫡

Oh by the way, if anyone is wondering whether or not the NLR Elite Direct Monitor Mount will support a Neo G9 57” monitor… it absolutely does!

Is a 34” Ultra wide sufficient?

I’ve been using an old 27” 4k work monitor as a starting point for my sim rig that I’ve had for last 4 months. It’s only 60hz so I’m now thinking of upgrading it.

As per the title. Is a 34”, 21:9, 1440p sufficient in terms of size? I’m sat 65 cm from the screen.

Amazon in the uk currently have the lg 34gx900a-b for £643

Keen to hear from people who have a similar setup?

Also, are there any other monitors you would recommend I look at?

What do I do? Triples... One Broke

I've been running three 32" LG monitors for my rig. One of them broke today. It was my fault and I am aware that I am an idiot.

The monitors are a 2022 model and getting an exact match looks like a nightmare. If I get a newer LG model with the same dimensions, will it work well or will I forever hate myself for not just getting three monitors that match?
