Show me your driving sim rig...

[Dave.]

Thinking of a cheap ish sim rig project over winter, currently got an xbone, gaming laptop and PS3, so thinking I'll go for the G920 and upgrade as I go.

I have a spare seat in the cupboard I will be using, and I'll be self building a wooden demountable frame.

So, show me whatcha got.... I need inspiration.

[Dave.]

This thread didn't quite go the way I planned

Some awesome setups there chaps, but a little out of my reach for what at best will be a few hours on a weekend through the winter.

I have rfactor2, spintyres, Forza 5 and 6, and Horizon 3. As much as I'd love to go with iRacing, cost vs use is prohibitive for me.

Need to draw up my plans and get my cut list done. Planning 1in X 3in wood (I'm only a lightweight) and decking screws. Aiming for as cheap as possible in case I get bored quickly.

[Dave.]

Yeah I saw that one, doesn't look comfy, although it probably is.

I'd need to buy a router, or just jigsaw the outer and leave the fancy holes alone.

why don't you build two?

[Dave.]

A little update....

G920 is here, birthday coming up shortly so that's that sorted.

Once I've done some measuring I'll knock something up to hold the wheel/pedals, but for the seat I'm using a chair-shaped beanbag that I bought ages ago and used twice.

Also keeps the overall size down and makes it a bit more mobile.

[Dave.]

^ we have the same electric screwdriver.....

[Dave.]

Almost finished mine, just need to finish painting it tonight.

Pretty simple design, a square frame for the floor, two angled uprights at each side and a plywood top for the wheel and shifter, then a separate frame for the seat so I can move it to the side out of the way.

I'll get some pics tonight when I've finished painting it, I've even impressed myself, 5hink the wood was around £24 and the can of paint was £6.
