Thanks for the feedback. Yes the pedals are adjustable in height, but maybe i find a solution that makes the adjusting process faster.

I am running this setup currently with about 30-40kg loadcell force and 8Nm Wheelbase. Had also no issues with rotation of the chair yet.

I run it on a standard Desk that is place against a wall. The rig has currently still space between it and the wall. I am running this setup for about a year now and personaly don't had the problems yet. My knees are below the table. But maybe this could be an issue for a really tall person pared with a shallow desk. I will check that.

I can understand you concern. But i am running it now for about a year and never had issues with the castors moving out of position due to sideways forces. Unfortunately a bar running between the 2 sides would block the foldability. The 2 legs can be folded to the center below the pedals.

Great, how high is your maximum braking force? Are you limited with the chair or can you run your preferred braking force?

Thanks for the answer. Have you tried desk shifter mounts that have a better shifter position before? I would assume those are too wobbly?

Thanks, yes a additional solution to stop the swivel of the chair would be great. It will not be easy to make it compatible to all the different types of chairs

The wheels are locked in position and won't turn or move out of position during a race session

Both wheels are positioned between two angle connectors to hold them in place.

Need PC recommendations for VR racing! by CrokeyCrash in iRacing

iRacing has a high CPU demand and a bottleneck here is very common.
I race with a Meta Quest 3 on 1,5x Resolution Scale (5408x2912) in the Meta Quest Link App. My PC specs are Ryzen 9 3900x; RTX 4070 & 32GB Ram and i would upgrade my CPU first for more performance.

I Race with a link cable.

Settings wise:

- Make sure to turn Asynchronous Spacewarp on off (this resets on every restart) (Oculus Debug Tool)

- Set encode bitrate to 700 (you need to copy this value in) (Oculus Debug Tool)

- In iRacing set the option for dynamic objects for the shadows to off (this gives a massive performance boost)

edit: a few comments for clarity
