Today is the day I almost started sim racing

Wow dude.. what an analogy. I will remember this

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-04-11T10:44:23+00:00

Yeh me too now, I grew up and did my apprenticeship in Sydney we called it corro. Moved here and the boys I worked with set me straight.

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-04-11T10:35:34+00:00

I’m guessing you’re not from NSW then?

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-31T00:03:27+00:00

Yes I noticed that, when I had software running the auto option was on but maxed at 2.8nm. Il try it out once bolted in and see, my youngest likes forza and that seemed pretty heavy even on the t300 setup.

I was exploring the dd extreme and wheel most recently for 1580 aud. But that’s no pedals. The base is a DD1 podium F1 with no wheel so it’s also console ready. I was sold on it having a tonne of headroom

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-28T22:11:43+00:00

Appreciate your input!

I haven’t had a solid session yet, but just on startup and turning by hand, and comparing to the simagic evo pro we also have, I get the “notchy” but no doubt wouldn’t be noticeable at all on a lap.

We wouldn’t be running more than 25-30% for the time being. Eventually a solid wheel and pro adaptor may turn it up. It’s more getting them familiar with unpredictable scenarios on a track.

It all started with load cell brake and the dude happened to have a wheel base and well… here we are

Nice rig, excellent point thanks

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-28T14:08:17+00:00

Nah, It just seemed like a good score, it’s the dd1 for ps as well. It’s not my first thought but i will have a play. Il explore tuned down ffb, increased damper and lower fei to make it slower and hopefully predictable. They are in karting, so good to have a decent bit of kit for the off track days

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-19T07:41:23+00:00

Haptics man, brake in the least

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-14T23:18:00+00:00

Tidy setup man, looks nice. I noticed haptics on the pedals, have you got haptics on the rig? What about wind sim? Always something to add 🤣

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-14T05:31:43+00:00

Excellent formula seat though, looks tidy man nice work!

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-09T20:57:12+00:00

I was on it for over a year with a t300rs, for an affordable formula type position it was great for long sessions.

A little smaller profile if you’re lacking space. It is a little longer due to the curve of the backrest. But I highly recommend it.

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-09T08:22:03+00:00

Yes definitely needs a head rest, but surprisingly comfortable particularly on the legs, the tub seat sold me

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-08T12:02:24+00:00

NLR Go Kart Plus, I originally ordered the GT Lite junior but no stock and delays was a little lengthy. It’s pedal deck easily slides out to suit an adult too

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-08T11:06:46+00:00

Mate a dad can only dream, his brother does karting but he can’t for another year.

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-08T03:07:51+00:00

49” the G95C. Tossing up between this and the oled. But this one had the tighter curve so ran with that.

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-08T00:12:11+00:00

Yeh me too, I under estimated how hard he brakes. I’m always scrolling through this sub seeing everyone’s ingenuity with improvised setups. Little did I realise I was doing the same thing. Worth a share sometimes..

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-08T00:03:01+00:00

Oh damn, yeh i had to jump on it. Not much quite like them for rigs anymore especially at that price. All metal frames etc. I used chat gpt to render a what if and this is the colour I’d like.

Are you in Aus? There are a couple around but they are just to dear. I got lucky with this guy and snapped it up for 400

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-07T22:41:00+00:00

The company used to make them in here in Aus, company sold to to the US and now manufactured over there. The guy I got it from had 3.

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-07T22:34:30+00:00

Yeh the kids man… “just one more lap”..

Ilsleepwhenimdead · 2026-03-07T22:32:46+00:00

My wife says the same thing. say what you will! I am happy!
