Don't see a reason why this shouldn't be possible.
You have about 14cm of playing room on the far sides of the brackets and 3cm of playing room where the bracket's connect to the base.
Please note that on my pics my monitor is pushed back for a reason, I race exclusively in VR.
If I want I can position my monitor right to the point where its level with the display of the DD unit.

Great setup! It's almost identical to mine.
I really like the wheel mounting solution, it just looks right and really tidy. I think I would have chosen that solution but I need my wheel to be as high as it is because I have a Next Level seat mover under my seat so I sit a little higher than you.

I'm looking at your P1 set up and I'm wondering if your main uprights are longer than my GT1. You seem to have a reasonable amount of clearance between your wheel deck and pedals.
But I think since I tried to position my pedals higher it seems deceiving. If I were to get the DD bracket, the wheel rim would hit my legs because the motor would be at that horizontal cross plane and my chair won't go any lower. It's at the bottom height already.
There is a bit of flex from my wheel deck. It's a little annoying.
Dang...

Yep, that's what I've obviously been doing. Just would rather the convenience of tweaking the settings beforehand and not having to change things in-game. Having more than 5 presets would be great as well as having them named and automatically applied to the game at launch. Even with the extended delay, I'm still eager to use the software, as I'm sure others are.

Is there a way to read out operating hours on the dd1?

Thanks for the info.

There will certainly be a new QR:
Thomas JackermeierThanks for the great and honest review (as usual), Barry. It is an honour that you rated the force feedback quality of the DD2 at the level of the other new generation DDs out there and liked our package. Thank you very much
Your critisizm on the QR is well noted but I doubt that it has any effect on the ff quality as the flex is not in the rotational direction. And hey, have you ever wondered why we made the QR on the wheel base and even on all our latest steering wheels exchangeable?In case you can't wait you can also use the screw to get rid of any flex as well.

Thomas JackermeierI did not mention soon
Of course we are working on a proper solution which also does not require you to use an external cable like the QR suggested by Barry.

If you hold the wheel base vertically like this, you can remove these bolts(which are holding the motor):
without misaligned the motor inside the box and then you can put front mounting bracket under the wheel base:
and front hard mount the wheel base with longer bolts.
This is just a theory and it may not work!
If anyone's crazy enough to try it, keep me updated.
Something to consider:
