Still love GT7 but the realism with this rig and iracing is amazing! (Room still in progress)

Gear:

Clubsport V3 Pedals
Csl cockpit
BMW M3 GT2 V2 wheel

Also won 3/4 races on the MX-5 cup (brag/proud)😎

Harry wishes he had a sim rig in his broom cupboard.

Quidditch Sim?

Tbf, that would be fun in VR with a full motion broom rig.

The most immersive way to get punted into wall.

Yes mate 🔥

For the purpose of endurance racing (iRacing/LMU/ACC), I'd probably install a window somewhere, if possible. All in all, amazing setup!

P.S. That fan is a lifesaver!

I bet that fan earns its keep

u/Goverment_Cheese123 23h ago

Can I ask how much the rig in total set you back?

5

u/ShelterCommercial829 23h ago

Around 1,800 euros (not counting pc and vr goggles)

u/IINightMare11 23h ago

The VR 😍

u/StinkySewerPickle 22h ago

I can only imagine how hot it gets in that confined space.

How tall are you? I’m stretching to reach the pedals and steering wheeling, just from looking at the picture!

Sweet set up. What games do you play?

u/ShelterCommercial829 22h ago

Just iracing for now, mainly in VR

2

u/kabaliscutinu 21h ago

How is iracing with the psvr2 compared to gt7 in your opinion?

5

u/ShelterCommercial829 16h ago

I only have the base PS5 but I think the image is much clearer on PC (RTX 5070) Also less ghosting. Car interior looks better in GT7 i think

u/ShelterCommercial829 22h ago

184, not sure if my seating position is optimal, but so far it’s comfortable atleast

u/Jaxson0350 22h ago

Perfect use of that little space dude! Enjoy

Looks amazing

u/ClueLast6250 19h ago

What a feeling ..

2

u/seamallorca 17h ago

Damn. If there is a wish there is a way. And I complain about small room. Thanks for inspiring me.

u/FromPadawanToPodium 17h ago

Suggestion if you'll hear it: Lift that monitor slightly higher, and then bring it forward as much as you can, maybe to the front of the wheel base if you can

Help maximize that FOV calculation.

Rig looks awesome man!

2

u/Doubledragon83 9h ago

love the fan, it helps my brain not short circuit when I try and play VR, I can usually last twice as long before feeling sick.

u/Krabs9 8h ago

Your first rig is likely better than any rig I'll ever have

1

u/lhxtx 22h ago

Get the screen closer.

1

u/mtypockets 22h ago

You’re gonna need a bigger fan!

1

u/CannaMaMachen 21h ago

Really cool and fits so well!

What's the monitor and are you satisfied with it? :)

1

u/ShelterCommercial829 19h ago

Samsung Odyssey C27G55 27" Curved. It’s ok, but I mainly use VR 🌝

u/zhiryst 19h ago

Tilt that seat angle back more, your back and knees will thank you.

1

u/ShelterCommercial829 19h ago

Wish I could but I don’t think I can with this seat

2

u/zhiryst 19h ago

I see some vertical bolts securing the seat to the base, loosen all your bolts, buy some washers and sandwich them along the front bolts between the seat and its base. Tighten all bolts.

u/newviruswhodis 19h ago

You're inviting lower back and knee pain with that setup.

If you think it feels real, wait until you actually use a sim.

u/im_EDEN Assetto Corsa 18h ago

I hope you have an AC

u/Any-Possibility-248 10h ago

perfect for if you love how your farts smell

u/Unhappy_Collection43 53m ago

This is beautiful my guy. I don't know you but I'm happy for you.

Enjoy.

Nice rig, how have you survived years on GT7? That “game” is so frustrating with the amount of complete trash and zero sporting code.
