I haven't made any plans yet, but 8m should be enough for a standard rig from what I've seen. The profiles are 2m in length, so I would need to cut them myself. I'm a mechanic, so I have a lot of hand tools, but no cnc machine or something. Do you think it's worth the work? Or am I better off just buying a whole rig for like 500€?

I had looked at motion many times before and always wanted to take that step but budget was a factor. I first tried a Next Level V3 and it was ok worked well but quickly developed some huge slack in the gears meaning when racing the seat moved back when braking hard. This happened within a week or so and got worse so ended up returning it.

Though the seat mover was ok but full motion was the aim. I considered sourcing all the parts for the SFX 100 myself but was put off by the extra work and waiting it would involve along with potential costly mistakes in constructing. I then found E Racing labs kit and it came In at reasonable price. After several emails back and forth with questions I ordered the RS Mega + Kit. The customer service up to this point had been on point and all questions answered quickly and concisely.

A few days after placing my order I received a call from the owner of E racing labs explaining there had been a website problem and they were not able to see my order until now and this was the reason for the delay. To be honest I did not expect anything to happen within a few days considering they are on the other side of the world but the call was welcomed.

A day later I received both tracking numbers for the actuators and another for the motors and servo drivers. One coming from E racing and one direct form the motor factory.

The actuators arrived 3 Days later via DHL and I have an £80 import to pay which was good value. The motors arrived after 7 days, there was a 1 day delay in Korea and unfortunately the UPS incompetence caused one in the UK. They were due Friday 18th Aug for delivery, waited in all day only to get a text at 5pm saying a delivery attempt had been made at 2pm and no-one was available????? A total lie as I was in all day but anyway they arrived on the following Monday and I had an £88 charge to pay, again happy with this.

All of the kit is very high quality and well packaged.I had damage to some pins on one of the DB25 cables and within 24 hours a replacement was on its way, again excellent response and service.The kit was easy to fit to my Sim lab GT1 Evo and took a few nights to get it all connected and the servos mounted in the Server cabinet. I also made a master switch with an EMI filter installed. All the cables are shielded and I have had not had any problems with EMI. All drivers are preconfigured so it is truly plug and play.

All the cables for the servos and power are terminated well and of a high quality. I purchases sim racing studio and jumped straight into ACC at brands hatch. The first thing I noticed is the defaults in SRS are way too much so I dialled them down and instantly it came to life. What a game changer for me. The only setting up I had to do was in SRS to tell it the number of actuators and position.

Spent many hours tweaking the settings in SRS to get it feeling good and have to say this is probably the best investment I have made in my rig.

I have got to commend Eracing labs for the customer support and delivery all was excellent.

Is it worth the money, hell yes definitely!!!! If you have been on the fence about motion go for it it is worth every penny.

I don’t even know how to process how much fun I’m having with VR. Got a $50 oculus rift s off FB market on Friday and after a few sessions in VR (iRacing and AC) I am blown away. I don’t think I’ve ever had this much fun doing anything in my entire life. I’m pretty sure I will never go back to racing on my single screen. Simracing in VR is incredible.

The guy I am seeing is overseas for a month, and is obsessed with motorsports. Mostly F1, but he follows them all and literally lives for them. Recently he gifted me his Tag F1 watch, and I've sort of decided while he is away to 'study up' on the whole scene and try learn something.

So for someone who has played maybe 2 hours of my father's old Colin McRae games on his Playstation 1, and a little of Horizon 3, where should I start? A more...entry level racing game I can get and sink some time into? That helps me learn to talk-the-talk and get a little more involved with his passion?

I really don't know where to begin, and not sure where to look to begin, really any help would be so appreciated. I'm a lil lost here, lol.

Thank you!!!

I got slightly obsessed with cable management of my Fanatec GT DD Pro on my Playseat Trophy, so I drilled holes and feed the cables through the frame. It was a pain, but worth it to me. I also filmed and put a video together.

Hey all, I've noticed several online discussions as the popularity of sim racing has surged lately, where people are inquiring about setups like this.

I have been able to use the Next Level Racing GT-Lite Foldable Simracing Rig so I figured I'd drop some info on it.

A more in-depth review, with pictures, can be found here!

otherwise...

• Assembly: Easy setup with versatile compatibility.
• Adjustments: Customizable wheel and pedal positioning, fixed backrest angle.
• Comfort: Convenient but sacrifices some comfort for portability.
• Space Savings: Ideal for small spaces, foldable for easy storage.
• Conclusion: Sturdy and portable option for realistic sim racing in limited spaces.

Hello.

I'm reasonably new ( less than 4 full months but spent 6 weeks not being able to practice )

I think I have decent pace in the F4 in free practice ( 2.02.2xx at Suzuka and 1.34.xx at interlagos ) however when it comes to other cars on track I'm clueless.

I can't overtake and freely give up positions just so I don't affect my SR.

Currently 800 irating but fed up not attempting online races for fear of ruining it for others.

Any help or advice as what to do next is greatly appreciated.

TiA

Hey simracers!

Around 6-7 months ago I made my first step into the sim racing world, bought myself a G29, and have had a blast, been so much fun! But I think it's time I finally upgraded.

I wanna get more of a setup for F1 more than anything, I find I spend 90% of my time in F1, so I wanna get a new sim setup with an F1 wheel. I was wondering if anyone could help me with buying. I still have like no clue when it comes to wheels. I don't know if I should mention, do I need to buy a cockpit or can I still use my desk for an upgrade?

For budget and country, I am looking to spend around $ 1-2,000 AUD (Australia). If anyone could help me send me in the right direction, that would be great.
