And You Thought You Had a Hardcore Racing Setup...


Browsing Twitter this morning, I saw a crazy image showing off a hardcore racing setup. But, it pales in comparison to the one [Icy] just posted in the comments section of this post. I can't even begin to think about how much that setup costs.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Anything with hydraulics and motion mods trump mine, though. Mine is built for comfort!

Re: And You Thought You Had a Hardcore Racing Setup...

I'll have to get some newer shots of mine. Last shot I had was a poor quality video from my phone of my son giving the Indycars a try on iRacing last year. Once I get the new rig setup, I'll have to get some new info. Here's what it looks like - Triple 40" monitors that surround you about 165 degrees when you sit down. Your peripheral vision is completely taken up by the track view. However, since it's a camera phone and the TVs are at angles, the left screen seems to be washed out and the perspective is a bit wonky. Not to mention wobbly. But when you sit down in front of it, it is perfect :



Now, once my new rig comes in in a couple weeks, those are going to be attached to

This is what it looked like before, but I've since moved the monitors into a configuration where I can sit on a comfy couch with a killer wheelstand I bought last year:



Once I get everything all reconfigured on the new PC, I'll take something that looks a little better. Not that anybody cares...that's why I've never taken anything newer to start with
