My simple, cost-effective setup:
GT Omega ART rig
NRG Prisma seat
Fanatec CSL DD Pro wheel
Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals w/ brake kit
HP Reverb G2 V2

I drive exclusively in VR on iRacing and AC.

I recently added a SimXperience G-belt active belt tensioner. It’s by far the single most expensive piece of equipment I have but the increase in immersion has been incredible. Just being strapped in makes me feel like I’m in a race car. Then when the shoulder harnesses compress on braking, cornering and even over crests it starts to feel almost believable. Combined with other haptics (bass transducers under the seat and pedals, multiple exciters in the seats) it does a pretty good job at making the cars feel alive. I don’t ever plan to add motion so this is as far as I’ll go. It’s great value for money.

I’ve been to World of Racing in SoCal a few times (highly recommend checking them out). Their $25k 4-DOF motion rigs with triple screens, top of the line Simucube wheelbases and Heusinkveld pedals are awesome, but honestly I find my setup somehow more immersive.

How do you like the GT Omega ART rig with your setup? Any issues with flex or stability? I've been thinking of getting a GT Omega rig, just can't decide if I should get the ART or the Titan with a DD wheel.

Hello to all members! We want to officially kick-off this new section for all things related to simulator racing. I know a lot of you are racing online and have some really nice setups!

My simple setup. I share this area of the house with my kids, so I have to keep the rig mobile and push it aside when not in use. Nowhere near as clean or eye pleasing as others here, but it does the job for me I plan to get the belt tensioner setup later this month.


RSR-21 rig
Fanatec DD1
Heusinkveld pedals
Fanatec shifter
NRG Seat
DIY shakers (under pedals and seat)

Interesting to see plywood! Definitely unique among a sea of aluminum profile rigs. How are you liking it?

hi guys,

I seen some very nice setup here, I'm actually playing on Xbox X series, didn't feel like investing in a gaming PC yet despite a less attractive choice on console .However I went with :

Fanatec DSL DD and QR2 8nm
Universal Hub V2
Forza steering wheel
CSL pedals

and that GT racer cockpit (very standard )

a 55inch TV with the appropriate FOV
I went a tad cheap on the TV but manage to keep playing at 2K 120hz which is good enough .

Here are some night pictures,and I'm playing mostly ACC.

Thx man, well I ordered straight from fanatec and got it pretty fast .

I think the setup is plenty for my need , and should fulfill yours .it's a big screen that's awesome ,just set your FOV in game when you'll play.

lebaaron wrote

FOV stands for field of view,you can set it in game settings .
there's some calculator online since it depends on your tv size and your distance from it .

For the TV ,if you cannot play 4k 120hz ,make sure you can at least play in 2k 120hz, that's what I have and it's plenty

you'll see it's slightly different than Mario Kart 😁

I thought so for the FOV. Thanks!

I have this tv..not sure which specs to look for to be honest.
