I have been racing ACC on xbox for a bit over a year and have been so obsessed with it that I finally upgraded to a PC yesterday for the first time. Now I have to buy everything again. Any clue on when the ultimate edition might go on sale for steam. Noticed I JUST missed it on sale by a day. I checked out Steam DB and I couldn't find an obvious pattern. This PC thing is new to me so I have recently learned about humble bundle... ever any mass racing games offered up there at once? Any other tips for a new PC player would be helpful too. This is a whole new realm.

I can’t find anyone with this problem

Hey everyone, I'm considering going with the tr120 from Trac racer, but considering my options with others areou d the same price.

Anyone has the privilege of trying these or have experience/knowledge they would like to share?

I'm based in Australia, very limited with brands down here si these two are my main go to brands.

I'm running a Alpha mini DD base.

Looking for aluminum profile rig.

Both are priced very singular.

Thanks in advance

I'm sick of these gaming chairs I only love my car seat but it's so fucking large and it's electric so I can use it anyone have suggestions for a car seat that is reasonable to enter into a bedroom and turn into a gaming chair? And anyone who did it is it a good idea and is there a better alternative

So I have chronic tendonitis in both my wrists and thumbs so I'm just wondering how much more resistance would that weel have compared to something like a thrustmaster t80? Because if it has too much resistance it'll probably be too much of a struggle for me to use

I've had mine for like 2 days and my arms are killing me... I can't even tune down the ffb on gt7(as far as I know) and GHub won't detect the wheel

I’m getting a sim racing set up for my bf’s pc this Christmas, but I honestly know nothing about this kinds of things but I heard Logitech and Moza have some good quality ones, does anyone know which of them makes them better and what models are good? (P.S. Does the type of pc also matter for this?)

I’m a die hard Gran Turismo fan and can acknowledge it lacks in certain area but it’s not an underwhelming game by any means. I’ve played ACC and Forza which I’m not a fan of. Forza feels clunky like it was thrown together last minute. But one sim I cannot get enough of is Driveclub. If you’ve played this im sure you know what I’m talking about. I don’t think weather physics on any other game has even come close in the last 10 years. I also appreciate the cars being completely stock so it really comes down to the skill of the driver. Another aspect which I love is the A-to-B or sprint races which isn’t even a thing unless you’re playing a rally game anymore.

Thinking about upgrading my monitor to either an ultrawide or a set of three monitors and looking for opinions or gear recommendations.

Also I would need a way to mount them, as I’m currently using a single monitor on a desk above my wheel stand. I think an ultrawide would go on the desk, but triples might require a stand, the one I’m looking at is the Next Level Elite Freestanding triple monitor add on. Could this go over a wheel stand that’s not next level brand?

Hello all, looking to get a quest 2 for sim racing because it fits my budget. But I've heard the quality is bad, i.e compression, cant see very many details far away. Is it still a good headset to get into sim racing cheap? I probably wont be able to have my games running on high settings anyway with my specs (2019 Razer Blade Stealth 13", GPU is MX150, 16 gb ram)

I wanted a cool wheel but couldn't afford the other stuff I'm exchange. At least.... not for now >:D

As title says I can’t seem to find a direct comparison between the asr3 vs the tr120. From what I can see the tr120 is closer to the asr4.

Right now I can get the tr120 for 15% off because of Black Friday and ASr4 isn’t on sale. That makes the tr120 quite a bit cheaper with seat bracket compared to asr4. Puts in it asr3 $ territory. Is it that much better than the asr3?

Tr120 with slider seat brackets no shifter mount- 636$ on sale (113$ off)

Asr3- 679.99$ no sale

Asr4- 999.99 no sale.

It’s going to be used with a 8nm fanatec pro with potential to get the extreme at some point. Users will be me 5’5 female and 6’4 male (which complicates matters)

Am I missing something? To me the tr120 and asr4 are comparable but price difference is pretty big. Is the tr120 and asr4 that much better than the asr3 that it’s worth the upgrade. I’m not going to add motion.

I’m in Canada so I would love to support a Canadian company but that’s the price difference is decent.

Building a direct drive rig. The gt Omega prime lite is a good price and seems really good. But can it handle hard load cell brakes and strong direct drive wheel bases? Like around 15nm or something. Any experiences?

I know it's a compromise, but I'm trying to have a setup on a desk that can switch between racing and a being a desk. With some ergonomic compromises, the wheel seems like it will work fine.

I got Asetek Pagani Huayra R pedals in a package deal and I'm not sure they can work. The brake force required is stupid even with the softest of the 3 bushings they provide.

Even if I bolt the pedal base down and bolt wheel chucks behind the chair I'm not sure the pedal will be usable with ankle strength. I think it needs you to be reclined at an angle you can use thigh strength.

Where do I go from here? I guess i can try to replace the poly bushing with pool noodle? Or maybe with an office chair I need to get a flimsier pedal set that does not try to have hydraulic brake feel.

My cockpit came today and its now mostly assembled minus some things that will need to get adjusted. Also need longer screws for the vesa mount on the monitor, odd setup. Ordering my Alpha Mini kit on Friday when the sim-motion sale starts and i'll be ready to race.

Pretty happy with things overall. Bit of regret on the seat. Its large, unless you are a 33/34 or bigger you are going to swim in this seat, ill replace this down the road when I can snag a deal on a real Pole Position seat.

Computer is built on some parts laying around my shop and a few things I had to add. 12700k, 3080 founders, 32gb crucial pro 6000, 1tb 980 pro, mini pop silent case. 34 ultrawide 1440 screen 165 display is waiting.

I currently own a Thrustmaster t300 with the f1 add on wheel and have used it for about 3 years now.

I am looking at purchasing the Moza R9 wheelbase (not if recommended something else by you guys!) and I would like a nice steering wheel preferably a formula style wheel without spending more than 3-400 if possible

I am also looking at buying cheap load cell pedals such as the simsonn’s or something similar.

My final question is do you think it would be wise to wait for black Friday for any deals on these if offered?

Upgrading from a g29. I'm stuck with this decision and can't decide. The price difference is about 250€. Would the alpha mini be enough? The price is quite good. But I do like the idea of the 15nm of the alpha and possibly never needing to upgrade again. What do you think? Do you have any experiences with these?

Howdy, I have been sim racing for a couple of months on iracing and a bit of ACC before that. I’m using g923 with modded true brake pedal (to get a somewhat of a load cell experience) on a wheel stand and a gaming chair. I’m curious to know at what point is the gear the limiting factor to perform better?

While I think I have a long way to go in terms of my racing technique and I don’t believe that gear will be my limiting factor soon, how do I recognize when it is?

Also let’s ignore the “wants” portion of getting better gear as we all want better gear all the time. I’m not looking for that, I want to know how to recognize when the gear itself is stopping me to progress further.

Also yes I know some people are aliens while playing on an ouija board while being blind folded and playing with their hands tied, those people lets ignore as I’m not one of them and will never be. Just looking for some practical advice.

Thank you all and happy racing!

Alright racers. I am in the market for a new rig soon. Hoping to a good discount or black Friday deal, as that may further sway my decision. Best current discount I'm finding are streamers 5% off. This isn't significant enough to sway my decision.

Currently deciding between: Next level racing GTElite Lite Wheel Plate Trak Racer tr80 lite Gt omega Prime lite - current front runner due to price with a tv stand being cheaper than the others.

Any and all recommendations pro and cons welcome!

I am currently running a csl dd 8nm and csl pedals with load cell.

Soon i’m going to be purchasing a R9 V2 and was wondering what pedals I should get with it. I have a budget of about £200 and was looking at the SR-P pedals but was wondering if there was any third party ones which are better for around the same price. Thanks.

I mostly race in ACC and you know ACC have GTWC cars that use TC and ABS and ACC usually requires you to slam the breaks at 100. Now it's a bit difficult to drive different kind of cars in AMS2 or rF2 which are totally different and don't use assist all the time (I don't know if it's common in AMS2 but some cars feel so slippery in corners, I'd appreciate if you can give me a guide for AMS2 driving physics). The real struggle is ABS, i usually lock up in every corner especially on F1 cars and I don't know where to even start to practice for them. How do you manage to not lock your tires? Like which part of the car setup can help for that? Especially in heavy breaking corners like chicanes? Is trail breaking more difficult when you don't have ABS? Also I don't have load cell pedals (can't afford them, this is my first racing setup) so if you can give me some tips, where to start for practicing and which break settings need to be changed to help with that I'd appreciate it.

Sorry for asking too much questions.

hi. i bought this t300rs from a used local marketplace. the base and wheel is in good condition and no software or hardware issue so far. but i noticed a squeaking noise when i turn the wheel. no matter if the ffb is on or off, if its plugged in or not, or any degree im turning this squeaking noise persists.

video: https://youtube.com/shorts/JJ2cIL90kiY?si=h52QlYjjnM6hpYR8

however i did find a thread whre a guy had the same issue and someone said that its normal for belts to do that noise overtime. but he said if ur impatient u can lube it with grease. later the guy having the issue said that the weather in his country got warm and the noise stopped.

what do you think this is?

So, always been into racing games but all I have to play them is a 10 year PS4 controller, which in fairness still works pretty great, but doesn't give that racing feeling. The major reason that I use that is because i really don't want to spend much money on gaming stuff, since I have other priorities.
Recently I saw a G29 on sale for 199€, which typically sell for 300 to 400€ where I live.
I saw a lot of mixed opinions on this wheel, mainly that its basically unchanged since its release, so the true question is: do I take this imo great deal or do I save for a little while and buy a better sim with for example a DD base.
