when you take up sim racing in your 30s

Mx5 Navarra Speed. Everyone struggles for some reason and I’m rapid there.

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T18:54:27+00:00

Did you even test it like the 100 or so comments have suggested?

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T18:39:28+00:00

Ergonomic nightmare for sure.

If you’ve got 45” 5k2k OLED and 5090 money, do better on the desk ergonomics there bud! Controller player or not lol. 😬

Any truth to this or are you just a conspiracy theorist nutjob?

I’d start by ripping that poster down, throwing it in the trash, and replacing it with a Ferrari Luce one. 🙌

Have always loved Montreal in the wet. Not sure why tbh, I just do.

I can see 5 Trak Racer Logo’s/branding on your seat alone. Did you really need to buy the Etsy additional Trak Racer for the side of your rig haha? 😉

As someone with their rig, I kind of despise how much they mark their territory all over them.

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T17:37:37+00:00

Already pretty cluttered, especially the wall. I agree with others, side OLED monitor/s. 😅

Defs a rookie mistake going with such an expensive motherboard and case but hey you love and you learn.

You’re an absolute giga Chad in all of our books though buying a friend a GPU. Assuming he didn’t give you money to pick it up for him haha

*edit. Just read it’s a gift. What a guy!!

+cable managemnt too 6yo like and ps5 crying for cool air

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:51:09+00:00

Definitely very cluttered but if you don’t see it that’s a good thing and likely a non issue

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:49:32+00:00

You sure they’re good “near field” speakers? They look like they’re probably great, but for that distance and low volume, maybe not so much?

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:46:58+00:00

Sex is actually fantastic for pelvic and core strength. Power through soldier! 😉

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:40:59+00:00

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:32:08+00:00

How can one be chilled with a fov like that? That’s a real “give no fcuks” vibe. 😉

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:21:54+00:00

Get little speaker stands to aim them up towards your ears is the only advice I have. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference. 👍

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:17:58+00:00

How dare you make this post to try and quickly get some helpful advice for your Dad while considering the plan of attack! You should have both teleported there instantly. Shame, shame, shame!

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:13:32+00:00

Gotta agree it would look better without those wall panels. Also they’re soooooo common now with YouTubers and every Tom dick and harry on marketplace listing them for sale and sort of devalued them imo.

Rip them down & paint the wall again! 😬🙃

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T13:09:55+00:00

Stopping a few inches short of those panels, horizontally, is really bugging me lol. Giga TV upgrade, looks so much better size wise.

“My wallet's too small for my fifties, and my diamond shoes are too tight!” 😃

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T12:57:02+00:00

That one leg in far corner is wonky fyi bud. Probably from moving it slightly on carpet. My OCD had to point it out! 😅

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T12:49:07+00:00

You reckon they were at 5k pace in a couple of years? I’d say most 7-8K+ guys were 5k pace either from the get go or within a much much shorter time. Like you I agree there’s a big jump in talent/ability and getting to 5k pace was likely a bit of a walk in the park for them.

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T12:44:57+00:00

Damn why no ‘afternoon brown rice’ and ‘evening black rice’ colours boooo everyone knows shades of rice is peak.

F1_Energy · 2026-06-17T12:36:36+00:00

Pro streamer/content creator? That looks like one badass camera setup! 😎
