My New HumanRacing GT Chassis Arrived and i must say its Awesome, not in looks but quality - well worth the money spent!

Here is a few photos of tonights build, still waiting on ClubSport Wheel Base to arrive.

Good news guys, Last night finally got it up and running and was very impressed it how much differance the driving input from the Fanatec gear compared to my old G27 Logitec.... its so smooth and the load cell is awesome:

Overal i only been testing it on the 46" bravia but looking forward to stage 2 New PC and Tripples... But everything feels really good so far.

[V8freak]

Looking good

 

[Mr Latte]

Love the colour combination and as others stated great photos.

Would you consider a racing harness in the future even just for looks?

 

[MADCAP]

Harness would be great for looks but it would be a bit overkill if my wife saw me strapped in LOL

But aesthetics it would be great

It is time you had a look in the glove thread, protect that nice wheel.
If you end up wearing race gloves hey what difference would a harness make, blame me if she says you look like an eejit.

I get what your saying though, however isn't the aesthetics on improving the race looks further good enough reason to get em? Well maybe one day eh.

Yes 2 = Expensive bill, but still yet decided if i go 2 of the HD7970 or 2 x Galaxy GeForce GTX 680 2GB

man trying to make sure i have all the right goods to talk to each other is frustrating LOL - there is a guy at my work that is pretty computer savy but i have had good support from forums and youtube

Oi you know 2 Graphics Cards is the way to go mate

[HoiHman]

That is some serious hardware 👍

Have you thought about adding tactile to your rig?

Cheers for the comments, sorry but i dont understand what you mean by "Tacitle to your rigg"could you explain champ?

 

[HoiHman]

Sorry spelling mistake I meant tactile

Are you planning on adding buttkickers and simvibe to your rig ?

 

[Mr Latte]

Nice PC spec but you sure you'd rather have 2x 680 over a Titan?
Sli 680 is fast but I took the decision for Titan and then a 2nd one later if needed for more upgrade potential in the future.

Are you running a single screen or triples?

 

[MADCAP]

Sorry spelling mistake I meant tactile

Are you planning on adding buttkickers and simvibe to your rig ?

Hope to get some in the future yes - just want to get PC built first with tripple screens

[Mr Latte]

Nice looking rig, check your RAM though if using 2 shouldn't they match the colours, eg 2x black slots?

Just got the H100i myself it is great bit of kit.

 

[Hwangm]

KA-CHING!!!
Awesome looking kit. yes the Memory module should go Slot 1 and Slot 3 or Slot 2 and Slot 4 , (ie black-black for 2 module ) and green -green for second pair.
