recommendations for driving set up for PS3 / PS4

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

Hi

I would like to set up a driving / racing seat arrangement at home. what would your recommendations be please for a reasonably priced racing seat / wheels etc and screen.
balance between budget and quality. or simply tell me what you've got and Ill copy it.

the seat would need to have a slider so that the kids can also use it.

it would be for a PS3, but we may upgrade at somepoint.

thank you

For the wheel / pedals, I bought a Logitech G27 several years ago. It's very good although I must admit I've probably only used it about half a dozen times.

Remember then PS4 can only take Thrustmaster now!

Lots of G25/27 owners upset that the new shiny console is locked to thier pricey steering wheels

Thrustmaster is your only choice if you go PS4.
For PS3, as above or G27

I'm a little underwhelmed with my T300 at the moment I sure it's just I've not set it up right. Doesn't feel miles better than the G25 it replaces but I'll see when I start racing again. The pedals on the T300 are not great but will probably do you to start. I'm sticking with modified G25 pedals (as I play on PC mostly).

I don't use a seat but I have the wheel and pedals mounted on a wheel stand pro which works really well in front of the TV or at my desk and it folds up so it doesn't frighten the wife.

Interesting, I didn't know that about PS4 compatibility. Given that my PS3 died - and I rarely used the steering wheel and pedals anyway - I guess it's time to get rid of it!

Exactly the above for me. IMO, if you aren't dead set on having a full seat set up then a wheelstand pro is the way to go.

I've got my G27 on one and soon I may have a t300rs on it instead. Not sure on the t300rs yet though.

Thanks all for your feedback.

Let me know if you're selling dave as it might be of interest

RSeat RS1 with a T500rs. Not cheap, but does the job nicely and looks good.

Seat has loads of adjustability, but the wheel may be a bit high for a kid. That is adjustable, but not really for height.

Wasted on Gran Turismo 6, I should really build a PC.

I forget which model monitor I have, but it's a 27" Asus. Seemed to get good reviews and will run 144fps on a decent PC. Picture is decent on GT6, no real motion blur and minute input lag.

There's probably newer monitors about now that will be better, but I'd recommend at least a 27". I sometimes wish I'd gone a bit bigger.

Is the G27 the official GT6 wheel?

I have a playseat challenge and a thrustmaster t300rs for both ps3 and ps4, very very very happy with it. That's my recommendation.

Thank you all.
