Any sim racing fans?

[sakserv]

I haven't been gaming much lately, but still do some weekly races in iRacing. Anyone else a sim racing fan? Here is a quick pic of my rig after I added the handbrake. I play in VR 99% of the time, but it's nice to have triples for friends that can't handle VR and sims that don't support it.

I want to get into sim racing... think it would be fun

That's a really nice setup. Is that 'off the shelf' or did you put that together?

I do a bunch of races in Iracing.. I've been driving the Spec Racer Ford series for a couple years now, as well as the USF2000 series. I don't do much of the oval racing, except for the carburetor cup unofficial series.

I'm using triples with a cheapo logitech wheel/pedals.

Awesome to know there are others! I've raced all the disciples at one point or another. I tried out the new spec racer and that is a ton of fun. I'm really hooked on the forumla vee this season. I did well in the skippy two seasons back, so it seems open wheelers on the road courses are my sweet spot.

Thanks! It's a pretty custom setup. Here is a list of the main components:

- Trak Racer 8020 chassis
- Corbeau FX1 Pro Seat
- Simucube 2 Pro wheel base
- Cube controls GT Zero wheel
- Heusinkveld Ultimate Pedals
- Heusinkveld handbrake
- Fanatec SQ1.5 shifter
- Aura transducer setup
- PC with 5950x CPU and RTX 3090 GPU

Motion is my next step

Happy to answer any questions.

That is a pretty sweet set up Sakserv.

I used to have a meager set up for Papyrus Nascar 20 years ago and I miss it....been wanting to get back into it but I'm lacking in knowledge or where to get it from. I've seen some Iracing info which looks cool, and looked into Nascar 21 Ignition, but the reviews on that game are awful. I was happy with the papyrus stuff which I still have in storage but the only system I have is a 5 yr. old Asus laptop with no HD, but I think it can route a PS or Xbox through it. Not sure if or how to proceed at this point.

I can appreciate playing GW I with my wife from time to time, but I'd rather race or shoot stuff when I game...

Last time I raced was the Indianapolis 500 on my Amiga. What I loved about the game is that even if I got a little bit faster, lap by lap, I still had to make 200 laps. Never won/finished that game, obviously.



I can't imagine what the simulations are like today, must be very cool.

After watching 33 minutes of that game, no wonder you never made 200 laps.
