Hi there all speedfreaks
No its not a cannibalised Vesaro, why would I do that? I built this rig from scratch as you can see, which is a lot cheaper than buying one to butcher. Its only a tubular frame after all and fairly easy to make, after the basic frame is built let your imagination develop the rest. Building the rig was my response to a challenge from my 30 year old grandson. I had no experience with sim rigs or sim racing but I can build almost anything from steel as I have an engineering workshop with all the necessary equipment. I had no idea what I was going to do with it when it was finished. As it progressed I had to buy the hardware, the software, TV etc etc. I took it home, got it set up and raced for the first time in my life and I so enjoyed it that I decided to keep it for my pleasure. I now spend every minute of my spare time behind the wheel and if I don't have the time, I make the time. I've progressed very well in the last 9 months and can't wait to race on line. My wife says I'm experiencing a mid-life crises or entering my second childhood. I say "So f....n what!" I include some more pics of my new little toy, maybe too many, I figured if any of you guys like it, there's enough information in the pics for you to build one yourself. You will see in the second pic that after the frame was all welded up that the wheel deck would be far too high so I cut the tubes back and added the extension back on at a lower level as you can see in one of the pics. I think the result also helped to break the monotony of the long curved tubes. Last week end I decided to add the dummy exhausts just for the hell of it. Hope you guys like it.
Day one after much pondering.
Two weeks later. After welding up I discovered that wheel would be too high. Must find a way out.
