    Rig: GT Omega Prime on casters; got the integrated monitor mount, mouse deck, and a TREQ keyboard tray to fit when I move it into the new gaff Seat: BB Classics racing bucket (cheap and cheerful - the old GT Omega will ideally be turned into an office chair) Base: Moza R16 Wheels: Moza GS V2, Moza RS V2, Moza KS, MVH Studios GTS, Thrustmaster T500 bare rim because 70s F1 innit, I also have a Turn R305 floating around Pedals: Heusinkveld Sprints 🤤 Grabby sticks: SHH shifter, Moza handbrake Other: SimRacing4U button box, Rii wireless keyboard+trackpad, dust PC: Intel i7-11700KF, RTX 3060 Ti, 32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM Monitor: MSI AG32CV, came highly recommended by some nice bloke Etc: Razer Deathstalker V2 Pro TKL keyboard, Razer Blackshark V2 Pro '23 headset, Razer Orochi mouse (battery eating little bastard) I'm thinking of streamlining and swapping the Moza stuff (bar the handbrake) and the rims for Simagic, and that Grid display of yours thoroughly tickles my pickle while we're at it. With those I think I'd be done with it, but you and I both know that will not be the case. Maybe a "reacting to viewers' setups" video would be a cool idea 👀

    One thing worth considering to add to your setup is some kind of haptic feedback on your pedals, especially brake with ABS or wheels lockup. Simagic offers dedicated solution but you can also use small bass shakers. I'm using bass shakers on each pedal and it helped me a lot to understand the car and my driving style

    Really enjoyed the video. Also, quite humbling for us reckless upgraders to hear that you, an absolute beast preaching the words of abstinence, we need to hear them, really. Jokes aside, wanted to ask about the VR aspect, I only race in VR, so was interesting to find out that you only use them for testing for IRL? CV1 isn't really the newest tech, but since you have no need for better, I guess it is okay? Would you think a quest 3 or something bit better&much pricier would maybe change your mind? Obviously you said many times that vr and fps and strain is a huge factor, but I would assume some1 with IRL racing experience would gasp onto anything to recreate that feeling? Like VR, maybe bass shakers or a 4DOF (but they are pricy)?

    He went back for Rennsport i think! Rennsport does not support triples (yet). And he played Rennsport alot in 2023 for competition. Then a 32/9 is better then stretched triple image. But triples are the better option for all normal sims that supoprt triples. Also, he has a new PC now and with a 4080 or 4090 triple 1440p is no problem at all. Even on the higher settings.

    James, thanks for the updated tour. About the triple vs 32/9 monitor. Issent it also because of you playing Rennsport for a while. And Rennsport does not support triples (yet). So you changed to this screen? I mean, i have a 4080 with triple 1440p. And it runs iRacing and ACC no problem! About the recommanding part. Add the simagic shakers to your paddles to feel better when abs/tc is kicking in. And go back to triples when not playing Rennsport ;)

    I have a similar setup, just with SC2 Pro, 3 Buttkickers plus four Dayton shakers build into my GS-5 with G-Belt. A Frex H-shifter I still recommend because it feels much better than your Fanatec as well as my HE handbrake V1, which I even use rarely in WRC. The Ultimate+ I've modded with a strong pressure spring, so two springs and one elastomer. I think it performs better because the pedal is more glued to my foot and less mushy feel and I can feel the Buttkickers a bit better. You don't want Simucube active pedals? Without Buttkickers they would probably would add some feedback you just get through the base only. I feel like blind without my tactile feedback and that's the main reason I don't even have Rennsport installed.

    @@Jaaames Me too, but the GS-5 with G-Belt I wouldn't put in the category 'motion' and would call it haptic feedback. It has no negative influence on lap-times as far as I can tell, rather positive, for me at least. Feels more like driving a road-car on a country-road than a real racecar, but with 6 DOF instead of the 3 DOF, you would usually get for that price. For better grip-feel the Buttkickers are more helpful depending on the game. For example I love EA WRC despite the FFB is very dampened, because a lot of additional road-details I get through the rest. It feels like a huge benefit and similar with Forza. In other titles like iRacing it just seems more immersive, but can't feel the car any better and similar with ACC.

    I have a custom rig I picked the parts for. I have the extrusion parts from Aluxprofile. 40120 for the main bottom frame, with 2x 600mm 4080 parts going across that hold the 40120 side parts together. Same thing between those 2, that hold the seat. The arms for the wheelbase are 4080 sized. I use the Simlab front mount for my SC2 Pro with a Cube CSX3 on it. Those arms also hold the PC. For the pedal tray I still had the opportunity to get the Simlab P1X upgrade kit that had the pedal tray and adjustable feet included. On that I have the VRS pedals. I also run triples, 32” 1440p monitors on a separate stand that again I chose the separate aluminium parts to. My PC specs: Ryzen 9 7900X3D with a 360mm AIO, 32GB 6000MHz CL30 DDR5 ram, RTX 3070. In iRacing at 7680x1440 I get constant 144fps nearly at all times with sort of medium settings. I just cap the frames at 140 so I can get consistent frames without unnecessary spikes.

I don't have huge feet (size 9 UK, 43 EU), but I do have fairly wide feet. Currently using a cheap pair of karting boots with my Simagic P1000s, but they are slightly too thick to get that full feel you need on the brake pedal.
