Just ordered new wheel. Fanatec PS DD1.

Mr P, tell your wife sim racing is muuuuuch cheaper than the real thing. So go ahead and order one. Tell her I said it was ok. Easier to ask forgiveness than permission. BTW I just celebrated my 30th anniversary Dec 1.

My racing cost more than the house I am living in. Spent more than $200,000 racing. The bike in the pictures cost more than $6/mile to race (Road America cost $24 per lap, I have done more than 2000 laps). On top of that add travel, food, lodging ....

When you get it, check and make sure all the bolts are tight and not stripped out. My left paddle bottom bolt is stripped, thankfully the top one is holding on well

Yes, Fanatec. Got same emails. Shipped today. So maybe next couple days.

BTW the pedals are worth it, much more natural feel.

I ordered some aluminum pipe and flanges from McMaster Carr. My table is wood.

I also got them to work with future stand. Best to order all at once than try to slip them in later. just tell my wife it cost more than I thought

tzracer · Jan 18, 2021

It arrived!

Kevin, Jeff, any help with settings (pc setup, gtsport setup,iracing setup) would be appreciated.

ItsAllAboutWins · Jan 22, 2021

I finally got my rig set up yesterday. After a year of collaborating with our master (hail chief @EDK) He was very generous and cut me a solid deal on his wheel and cockpit.

So after many PMs back and forth of "what the heck is this thing" "where does this go" and "why won't this fit" I present to you my new setup.

Just a quick snap from the newest upgrade. Our company moved offices an they were ready to throw away this standard including monitor. So it was an easy pick up for me. screen is still great actually. only thing i need to do is find a way to lower it a bit more. it's already at it's lowest point as it shows. Also i'm happy to be moving houses in a couple of weeks were i can claim my dedicated batcave.

It’s not. I quit in 2008, after 29 years. Too many ambulance rides.

GTSportster · Mar 2, 2021

I can tell the era you learned to race by your body position too. Lot has changed since then. Nobody rides like Mick Doohan anymore lol Is that a 125gp bike?

I am not sure what that picture is from. Those are my teaching leathers, not my race leathers. I did put my head to the inside, much more than Doohan. My max lean was more than 60 degrees.

Nice. Ever think about getting back into it? Or is this a wife decision lol

You certainly don't know my wife. She loved racing.

In 2001 I crashed and had to be resuscitated on the side of the track, woke up the next day. Had a severe concussion and slight brain bleed. My wife witnessed the whole thing. Back racing a month later.
In 2008 crashed and had a loss of memeory and another fairly significant cuncussion. During the ambulance ride into Birmingham, I decided 29 years of racing was enough. I make my money with my head. Quitting was my choice.

No, I am done. I spent more money (at least $250,000) and time (every day at the track was at least 2 days working at home) than I care to remember. Actually just sold the bike in the picture in December.

I am almost 60 yrs old. There are other things to do. My wife just bought a Porsche Boxster we are going to use to take roadtrips during the summer. I want to ride (R1200GSA) up to the arctic ocean in the next couple years.

It was worth all the time and money. My wife and I had a great time.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

GTP_Dutchy · Mar 28, 2022

And another change for me.

We moved to more permanent housing about a year a go. Just as i finished my home office with sim race capabillities we found out the wife was pregnant. Which meant my new home office became the bedroom for our child. The attic became my mancave.

I'm not done but for now it starts to look like something.

Some of you may notice i've gone back to the wheelstand. I did this because the playseat was noisy, uncomfortable and less stable. this setup i enjoyed the most through the years so i sold the playseat and bought a wheelstand pro.

The setup now is a bit of two way. in the attic i have the ps4. in the living room i've the ps5. depending on the game i choose my setup

PASM · Mar 28, 2022

Dunno what I love more, the setup or the decor. Nice one

CTznOfTime · Mar 28, 2022
