Out of interest, what does everyone's racing setup look like? I spend the weekend totally redesigning my layout... a lot happier now with it.

Mine looks fairly similar to yours.
-
Same here except I took the wheels off the chair. ;D
Nice use of the weights on the pedals, I may pinch that I have them blocked from moving forward but they still drift a touch side to side, my screens are 28 inch in the middle and 27's on the side. Was my first round with triples and makes racing so much more fun when you dont need to guess where others are.

I did a home made one years ago....still in service..... just got to take a picture.

I built this a few months ago when I moved into my new place based loosely on some plans found online. Comfy bucket(ish) seat from wreckers on rails means its adjustable and you can sorta see where I vertically mounted the pedals - took a while to get used to it but it feels great now.
I still need to hard mount the wheel, one of the mounts broke during qualy at Mugello in the e30's so I quickly cable tied it back on. Been like that ever since. I also need to paint it and then cover the foot well up somehow. I meant to do that months ago but it works just fine :D
The smallish tv is a downgrade from my previous 3x 23" screens but they won't fit on the end of my desk. I'm looking into getting a rift soon so that shouldn't be a issue for much longer.
-
yeah the weights really helped with it stopping slide from side to side... I am waiting for new office chairs to come in and then I can take one of the old ones home... still in great shape and yes no wheels to slide around on.
Cramjet, that's a really cool home-made setup!
Yeah my setup might become obsolete once my rift arrives... ;D

Here a slightly older shot of mine. Now have a fanatec shifter and surround sound.
The best part is using the phone as a dashboard via the ios dashboard app, you see it through the steering wheel as it should be. I spent a lot of time getting the ergonomics right and would love to spend some time making it beautiful. The only spare time I have is when kids are asleep though and that means no power tools!

I made this many many years ago using chip board and some paint with plastic checker (cos that was in fashion lol).......
I am contemplating whether it will make the move to our next house or get left behind..

Looks nice and Tidy, would probably come together a lot better if all the colours were matching but what ever, best thing I find is having everything in the exact same place every time you jump in.

Definitely, what I want to do is built another based on this layout. This was more of an ergonomic trial. I have the matching chair. It's just time...

Wow so many full on setups... I'm embarrassed to post mine. Just imagine a small desk with a wheel bolted to it lol

I'm with you Davo, G25 clamped to a L shaped desk so I cant even fit on the shifter.....! + a single 24 inch monitor . . .
Not to mention an office chair on wheels..... :'(

Mine is somewhere between Rolz and Freezer's. I had to baby sit the 'plumbers' a couple of years back and was told not to work on the cars or play games by 'she who must be obeyed', so out with the welder some old square light weight square tubing, some old chip board and a groovy 70s office chair, done.
I drive a little better, but very envious when I noticed the video on the Cobra, with his FOV on 3 screens, and the dash appearing in front of his physical wheel.
hahah can't find pic, now... later brb.

The only camera I have is my phone and buggered if I can get the photos off it. ???

Have you tried flashing your lights?
Has your phone got email? send photos that way if you can.
some very fancy rigs in this thread. You guys sure throw the down the splash!
Mine is a modest set up... You can't see the monitor, it's just out of shot.

I think I know why you are a bit slower Dick... you need better upper back support.
-
I bet that thing handles like a bus.

It's awesome fast when you make the right broom broom noises.

And she bottoms out a fair bit. Ride hight is pretty low. Need more Amazon crap to improve it
-
Love your bus looks great dumped. Is it air bagged?
-
I see the adult diapers in the back incase you chit yourself.

Ok I got my mum to take this picture of me racing on-line last night..

Ok for reals.
Sorry about the phone photo.. well not really. You get the idea.

I have one of these:
(http://thegamingcollection.com.au/uploads/products/medium/ee1ed76f9b2acbc09aa5cf4dee5760b5.jpg)
Wanted something I can transport now and then.
It's quite solid and comfortable. The only drama is the down bar holding the steering wheel. It can get in the way. Probably notice it more if I heel-toed.
EDIT: Just wanted to point out the office chair is over 12 years old and cost more than the steering wheel and race seat combined. Just under $800. It is by far the most comfortable and quiet (never ever squeaks!) chair. Ever. If you get a bad back and uncomfortable in office chairs look at the stupidly priced executive chairs. I fall asleep in mine quite easily.

This is my setup. My girlfriend's son Max is playing, that's who coaches me.
He's the cutest kid in the world and loves sim racing :)

Hi Davo. I'm not sure about a$35 tablet. Seen $70 tablets at office works. They are total crap! But will work fine for AC.
the Android program is called: DashmeterPro.
It's $11 though! If you wait around it does come on special now and then for $8
both Marty and I use DashmeterPro. Helps unclutter the screen a bit. It's quite a nice app. They update quite regularly.

The tablets were on clearance from Coles. Normally $100ish. Keep an eye on ozbargain.
I use Hud Dash. I prefer it over dash meter pro, thought I only gave dash meter pro a quick go.

Sweeet, I have a tablet but wanted a $35 one for my son, no fear of it breaking and costing a fortune.
I'll look into those apps, I have some google credit left over from the KitKat giveaway..

Went to a rave last night.
Got quite a few tablets for $35 :o :P :P
