Oli's Rig Setup

Oli's Rig 1

1st Driving Game Played?

Grand Turismo 2

How long have you been sim racing for?

2 months, I bought it to help me with some real life Motorsport to help learn tracks and improve my racecraft

What is your current sim setup configuration?

Oli's Rig 2

  • Trak Racer TR80
  • 49" Samsung curved monitor
  • 4th 32" monitor
  • DD2
  • Huesinkveld Sprint
  • Fanatec shifter
  • Sim3D pedal rumbles
  • DIY seat shakers
  • Sim3D wind simulator
  • Fanatec GT3 wheel
  • Cube Pro GT3 wheel
  • Fanatec BMW GT3 wheel

What's your best part of your current sim setup?

It's all really nice, I'd say the best bit is the Sim3D pedal rumblers and the seat shaker, they add a layer of physical feedback that you just don't get from visual which I think massively increases your car control.

What setup did you start with, if different from your current setup?

This is my first set up, I realise it's a pretty insane sim for a beginner; I bought it all as a package 2nd hand so was good value.

How many hours per month on average do you get to use your sim?

Not that many, I have young kids which take up alot of time....maybe 10h a month

What game do you spend most time on?

Assetto Corsa and AC Comp

What's on your Christmas wishlist for sim racing?

Tbh, nothing, maybe swap to the QR2 but my QRs feel totally fine, maybe get a new wheel to match my real life race car.

If you could go back and redo a sim racing decision, what would it be? (Could be a purchase decision, time related e.g pull the trigger faster, not get into it etc)

Bought one sooner probably, as it would have improved my realmlife racing results....turning up to test knowing the track and having done a load of simulated race starts at that track is very very valuable....

Any comments for any manufactures who might be reading?

Keep on innovating
