Show off your sim racing rig here!

I bought this just before Christmas, a Trak Racer TR8 Pro V2 rig. It's much sturdier than my previous setup, which flexed quite a lot especially under heavy braking.

The phone/dash is running SIM Dashboard for the data.

Very nice clean setup. Is the monitor on a downward angle for clearance, FOV or preference? I'm curious if you can tell it's not in line with your vision. I can't do this with my triple screens but it would have helped with getting the center monitor exactly where I needed it.

I'm sat quite low and reclined, so its almost square on to me. It also reduces glare from a window and lights behind me.

Would like to be reclined more, but the wheel is too far away - so have ordered an extension.
 
Took the plunge with the playseat trophy and RS50 wheel and pedals.

Was only in the controller for a couple of weeks so the transition was very quick and oh my days the enjoyment and immersion moving to a rig is absolutely incredible! Been having a blast with it since the 27th.

Had some good advice on sizing from people here which I appreciate. I’m 195cm tall so was worried about it but to be honest I don’t even have it on the longest setting so there is room for people taller

the room is just big enough for the TV 😅

haha this was a bone of contention with my wife!!!! Luckily the rule of my cave! my rules won and the 100 inch came in :)

I was concerned initially it was too big but to be fair it's the perfect size for complete immersion in both games and movies. There is a couch behind, I'm not watching movies in the rig :lol:

as long as the rig is not in front of your wife when she wants to watch a movie 😅

100inch ? I am not even sure it would go through my doors, did you build the cave around the TV ? 🤣

haha - she has the whole rest of the house to use at her leisure.

I built the room specifically for PS5 and the TV came in before the wall was put up so I actually don't know if I will ever get it out if needed!
