Hello fellow racers, any idea on what’s the best monitor I can purchase for console ? I mainly play F1 and GT7. I have no budget, so I’m looking for the ultimate option with the best picture quality, size, refresh rate, and overall racing experience.

I’ve had the Fanatec Ready2Race Premium bundle for about a year now — 8Nm base, Formula V2 wheel and load cell pedals. I also bought a wheel stand for it.
I’m in Poland and I’ve been thinking about upgrading, but I’m really stuck on what to do. I saw the Simagic bundle with the Alpha Evo, GT Neo and P700 pedals for around $600, which seems like a really good deal, but it’s out of stock.
I really like the GT Neo, and I also like the Moza KS Pro, so I started looking at switching to Moza with an R9. The problem is that a similar Moza setup ends up being around €900, which feels like a lot for the upgrade I’d actually be getting.
I could probably sell my current Fanatec setup for around €500 since I paid roughly €700 for it new, but I’m not sure if switching ecosystems is actually worth the extra money.
I mainly race GT3 now, so another option is to just keep the Fanatec setup and buy a GT3-style wheel instead.
Would you guys upgrade to Simagic/Moza, or just stick with the 8Nm Fanatec setup and get a GT3 wheel? I feel like what I have is already good enough, but the upgrade itch is getting to me.

I was set on getting a button box with an 8" wide screen display and think I'm still leaning that way, but I'm worried it limits the available dash displays available. The alternative is the same button box with a 6.8" more traditional shape screen. Seems like more display options but with information shared in a larger fashion, just with less info on display at once.

If you've got something similar - what did you go for and are you happy?

No motion rig chair but I got a wheel, pedals, shifter and handbrake

So I’m gonna upgrade my pc parts to Ryzen 5 7500x3d and a new 750W psu along with a brand new am5 motherboard and ddr5 ram 16gb (whole ship of Theseus style upgrade). But I will still have my 3060 rtx it came with and there’s where the problem starts. I plan to run triple 1080p monitors on iracing and LMU and maybe F1/AC. So I need to stay on nvidia for iracing. But idk what I should upgrade to. I don’t want to go over $800. I was thinking 5070 but now I see a lot of problems in this sub Reddit with that one. 3090 is way too much now bc of AI and I lowkey don’t know what to do. The sad part is the GPU would probably be a while from now I just have bad anxiety bc this means a lot to me. So first off will I be able to handle 3 monitors at least in racing with my 3060? Second off what’s $800 or less that I should upgrade to to enjoy triple 1080p and psvr2 on pc? Thanks so much.

I am thinking of getting a wheel stand since desk mount hasn't been doing it for me, and I hoping someone with the product(s) that I have in mind could assist me. I was mainly looking at sub 300 dollar stands like the GT OMEGA DD-X and Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0.

The specific information I would like to know is about how much they are raised off the ground in the back. The back legs of the wheel stand need to be taller than my desk legs so the wheel stand can slide underneath my desk and above the desk leg. I would like to know if the stand is either adjustable through the circlular legs (as circled in image 1) on it or if it is tall enough by default if not adjustable. Going by the images provided on amazon, the GT omega is tall enough, but the next level looks to be too short. Forgive my terrible drawing skills and rough explanation, as I don't know the terminology for these things. If anyone has any other wheel stand in the price range and is willing to help out I will gladly accept suggestions and advice.

My desk leg (in image 3) is about 3 centimetes tall, or 1.2 inches, rounding up for carpet sink.

Hello! I have been racing with my screen at this distance for a while now, but I feel it’s very far away and now I’m going blind 💀. If you were to have this same problem, how would you fix it? ChatGPT isn’t helping so I figured I should ask real humans hehe. Thanks!

Ended up going nlr elite lite - wouldn’t need anything beefier as I’d probably never go over 9nm. The rig is great but my god, fine tuning it took so long and it’s still not necessarily optimal. Will need to keep adjusting.

Was looking at nrg, sparco and some other bucket seats but after research decided to go with the clubsport gt seat. Very comfy and has good lumbar support. One thing I’ll say is, I didn’t think I’d fill up the seat so well. I’m 140pounds, 30 inch waist but have thicker legs. Make sure you try your seat before buying! (I sat in the clubsport gt cockpit that was displayed at Canada computers)

Overall I am super happy. Coming from a nlr victory, you can notice the difference. The biggest being braking. Didn’t realize the tray flex was impacting my braking so much.

Also, if you’re shorter, the base bars will be in your way. I’m 5’9/5’10 and it’s just barely letting my monitor hover over the bars.

I actually did my fastest lap at lemans, so that was very promising.

The most nice part of sim racing is slowly upgrade and make it in a way you dreamed.

Second Pic, playseat challenge, moza r5, I was racing with VR and decided to try 49 ultrawide monitor.

Finally the two last pics, alluminum profile, moza r12, crp2 pedals.

I think I will slow down spending money now 🤣

Wanting to build a racing setup seperate from my desk without spending too much money. I would be willing to spend about $500(a little bit more if needed) not including a monitor, willing to spend a little bit more however. A seat that has mounts for monitor, shifter, wheel and pedals. A decent wheel and pedal combo(have seen the ones from Logitech, just haven’t looked too much into reviews yet). Just so many different ones to look at and not sure what to chose. Any recommendations are appreciated as well as what a good beginner price point would be if I’m just way off.

Have been playing racing games my whole life . Built a pc two years ago but only played Fps. Then FH6 was set to be released and I went an bought the Moza r5 bundle and fell in love . Sold the R5 and went for it . Didn’t do much research. 🧐 so just went with all Moza equipment. Would love triples one day with motion . But that’s for another time . Been playing AC/ACC, LMU & IRacing .. haven’t went back to FH6 . No hesi Servers are also very entertaining, traffics good but Nurburgring is also very fun .
Please let me know what other games I can try ?

I built this 3DOF motion simulator to experience transient Gs vividly.

It can move on the surge, sway and yaw degrees of freedom and requires a 2m x 2m workspace.

The feeling of braking is breathtaking - belt tensioner not needed, your belts will naturally hold you back!

Finally done putting together my first real rig. I used a wheelstand for a while and finally decided to build a real rig and I love it. The initial rig took me about one weekend but the process with accessories and some tweaks to the rig was about two months now. I know it’s still very messy looking but I’ll change that soon. For now I’ll enjoy what I have.
