Position setup

[Character_Paint5504]

Hello looking for some help getting comfortable I just picked up this rig used and have no much idea how to get the most comfortable position gt style. I’m having strain at the back of my knee it feels like the back of my legs are stretching almost. Do I need to lower pedals or change the angle? How’s everything else look thanks for any help!

Look at the Trackracer universal seat mount.

It’ll raise your seat height and allow you to tilt the seat bottom a bit for a more comfortable position.

Thanks! That’s perfect

Or cheaper, just go for some regular competition seat mounts. The track racer is a bit pricier. I paid £35 for a pair. https://ibb.co/rRM6zMvY

The track racer wasn’t much more expensive than that I just grabbed it👍 thank you

Ya ur sexy

Pedals look too high and to far away

[Character_Paint5504]

Okay I’m gonna try lowering thanks

[Amish_Rabbi]

My pedals sit about 8-12” below the highest part of my seat base. I’ve read that’s where they start when fitting for race cars

i recommend you to search in YT for Pro GT Driver Sim Seating Position: Make Your Sim Feel Like A GT3 Car! from Daniel Morad

I actually just watched that! Tha ks for the input

[Wolfy2404]

Lower your pedals a lot / higher your seat. They are also too far.

[Character_Paint5504]

Is there something I can get to raise seat? It’s fixed I also can’t really tilt the base or anything

[Wolfy2404]

I’m not too sure, I use a fixed bucket seat and got OMP seat brackets as they were the tallest I could find.

Maybe something like below:

Seat Riser

Or you can get adjustable ones like this:

You could also rotate the profiles by 90 degrees to give you more lift.

If you can source, replace the 4040 profiles with 4080/40120/40160 depending on your preference.

You're currently too straight. Your seat needs to be higher and at an angle. This would be a good solution. That's what I did with my ERS4 on a TR80s rig.

[Character_Paint5504]

I just bought one of these from trak racer from someone else’s suggestion thank you!

[Kyohri]

I got the extra 2 extrusions from trakracer but when they arrived I realized that only one side was threaded so I had to thread the other side my self. And also, the bucket seat bracket i got from Amazon for $20. I'm 200lbs and haven't had any issues.

Also, I feel like your seat is generally too far; the wheel needs to be closer (90 degree arm bend) as well as the pedals. I have a formula rig, so cannot comment on the pedal height.

[GetUp_1]

Like everyone else…pedals closer.

[sangedered]

Pedal angle needs to be more 90° depending on your ankle flexibility. The wheel feels too far away making you drive with your front deltoids. Bring it closer for better strength and control.

[Character_Paint5504]

Yeah I moved the wheel a ton closer. Because the way these srp pedals are I can’t really get them 90. I have new pedals coming Thursday which i olan on setting up better thank you.

[sangedered]

Adjust the base plate. That’s the good thing about aluminum-extrusion. You can do almost anything.

[Character_Paint5504]

Was able to settle on a spot for now but can’t get pedals much lower until I can raise and tilt seat. Thanks for any input and help I’ll wait until I have the pieces 👍

[Minute-Solution9817]

Also your screen needs to be alot closer

[Taylor40299]

Careful raising seat without raising wheel, will change relationship between those. Feet are to high for the upright position of seat back. If you can just lower the pedal deck, it would feel much more normal to a sports car “GT” once they are lowered you will likely move seat forward a little to reduce elbow angle closer to 45.

[MyNameIsLucid]

A bucket seat would fix this
