Sim Racing channel for those people that often wonder if other UA-camrs are racing aliens.
I am very average at these games so expect my times to be very similar to yours. Hopefully you can relate to that. I have been gaming for a very long time but have recently moved from microsoft Xbox to PC gaming. I am a huge motorsports fan in general and i predominantly play iRacing. My favourite series of cars is the GT3 championship but i also dabble in the GTE and IMSA series. I race in a GT3 community championship and this is documented on the channel. Keep it real, and remember, Don't hate the player...hate the......simulator??

A no nonsense simple edit sim racing rig tour.

As the title, this is a no nonsense simple edit rig tour. No fancy editing or moody music, just showing you what i got. As requested I have some links and a bit more detail. The cage is simply 45mm plumbing pipe. The nets were actually made to size by myself simp,y buying some seatbelt material on Amazon and hot glue gunning it all together. Was super simple and very cheap. I added the red tabs...

Thanks Jon, great race, your video is brilliant. ❤
Thanks Jon, great race, your video is brilliant. ❤
@@SteveEwingFCR66 awesome race mate. Loved it. Thanks for watching and commenting dude .
What are your peripherals? Amazing view!!👌🏻
@@flourenco30 I have the button box from Sim racing industries on the right. There are 2 stream decks and a race logic from Ali express along with a grid ddu5 dash screen. ❤️🫡
@ Thank you buddy! And what rig are you using? 😅
@ this is the simlab gt evo with integrated triple screen mount 👍
@@OnlyFoolsGaming Thanks! Just subscribed to the channel, keep it up!
Thank you kindly 😍😎
You are allowed to overtake as soon as the lights are green, and you can be in front of the person next to you, as long as its not the leader
@@Rayz0268 cheers dude. I was unsure so decided to play safe. 🤙😎 I now know different and will send it!
14 freebies. Noice
@@Smartie40. haha yeah that will do eh ❤️😎
Love the setup.
@@justdoittom8431 thank you kindly. It’s a lot of effort especially when you have to pull it apart to find a disconnect! But it’s worth it. I appreciate your time
Another great video, bud. 🤘 That USB disconnect sound sends a shiver down my spine.
LOL doesn’t it just! I am glad I didn’t cause anyone any carnage with it: I think I traced it and hopefully found a fix but we never can tell. I have nightmares about that sound!!! Thanks for watching dude 🤙 appreciate your time.
Looks awesome, man! What NM do you race at? I am at 12nm and just starting. Didn't have an issue until yesterday and tennis elbow is setting in. Probably need to redo some of my ergo too
Hello thanks for your time. The fanatec doesn’t really tell you what Nm you are running. But I run it at 53 percent inside the fanatec software. I think I am at around 10 ish NM with that. When I started I was super keen to have the wheel very heavy but over time it doesn’t feel realistic and eventually I went down and down till i felt it was what I would expect. Sorry I couldn’t be more specific
You can overtake at the start, you are required to stay in your lane though.
Thanks you kindly good sir. Thanks for watching and commenting mate
Love the videos mate, keep it up, your rig is the inspiration for my new setup. I am also re building it in a cabin and have already come across the same difficulties with heat. Seeing how you have solved some of those problems has really helped me out. So thanks for posting!!
@@davesykes333 thanks for watching and commenting Dave. Really pleased to have inspired some ideas. That’s what it’s all about 🤙👍 good luck with the mods and build dude.
@OnlyFoolsGaming could I ask what you have on the outside where the holes for air intake and exhaust are cut?
@@davesykes333 on the outside of both I have a small mesh vent cover stuff. Kinda like a screen door material. Both of my fans/exhaust are cut flush with outside. Then this stuff is just pinned in place over the top to stop the insects. Is that what you were asking? amzn.to/3WKAhio
@@davesykes333 I also took 2 of these and bonded them together to create a L shape. These then drop over the top and the back third of my pc where my extraction fans are. I then put a small 12v inline fan into some guttering downpipe and bought the relevant bends and stuff that I needed to pipe it outside. So the switch you see me use in the video turns the fan on in the pipe and then starts actually sucking the air from the pc outside. Made a huge difference to the temps inside. www.toolstation.com/112mm-hopper/p76483
@OnlyFoolsGaming yeah i just wondered if you had any thing to stop rain beating through them.
Great video! How did you get the wheel to control your fan?
@@jakegoodman93 thanks for watching 🤙 the fan is an arduino based wind sim system that I don’t use for wind sim I just use it mapped to the button instead.
@@OnlyFoolsGaminglast question, how did you build the enclosure around the button box?
@@jakegoodman93 this is just 2 pieces of sheet plastic that’s quite thick. They are built onto a Batton timber frame in an L shape with some funky angles and the just trimmed in foam and suede. It is then sat and screwed to the timber ‘centre console’ which in turn is bolted to the rig. So it’s just the ‘2 sides’ of a box reallly.
Amazing brother, love it. Got a sub! Curious, do you have the iRacing stream deck files for your button box? I have a great one for ACC, but not so much for iRacing!. Would appreciate it if you have one you could share.
@@justinmuntean7689 hello dude. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it. I don’t have a specific iRacing set for the stream deck I just made some hotkeys for a few of the essentials and I use the exact same setup between ACC and iRacing. Just changed the hotkey for each sim. I didn’t know there was an ACC one available but I will be keen to have a look for it now. Is it in the plugins section? I am happy to share what I have but it might work a bit weird cause I have 2 stream decks and some buttons switch profiles on both 😎🤙
@ Hey man, yes it is a plugin file. It is super late here, so tomorrow I will message you the ACC one. It is great. Has everything you would ever need. I just have not found a similar version for iRacing.
Nice setup!! What is the width of the monitor end to end? Asking because I have the G5 and the bezel free kit but couldn't properly hide the bezel...
@@pawieplays leave it with me and I will measure it today and reply asap. What I do know is I run my angles quite tight at 56 degrees simply because I wanted some space for my chair gaming. However I feel your pain. Mine are literally on the ragged edge and only just, JUST about hide the bezels fully. As you can see I don’t use the actual clamps for the kit. Because, if I remember correctly, they didn’t hold the kit close enough to the screen to hide the bezels. I ditched the clamps and put the kit touching the screens themselves and this got my desired effect. Used some ultra clear gorilla tape to secure them in place. I don’t think you will get it with the clamps. I could be misremembering this part though. What I do know is the clamps just didn’t work with my roof. So I was forced to not use them. It was a struggle to get them perfect.
@@pawieplays the width of the monitors across the back is 1020mm. The width of the actual rig that goes behind them is 1250 mm.
@@OnlyFoolsGaming Mate thank you so much! So the angle would be 53~56 for the bezel free kit to work. I have my monitor angle as 70. Thanks for the tip on the clear tape, that is a great idea.
No worries dude.
Thats an awesome setup man, only just got into simracing and Iracing, hopefully have something like that one day
@@jackholloway272 thanks dude. Appreciate your time. This stuff is way cool but I have just as much fun on my son’s entry level rig. Stick with it you will get hooked 🤙🤙
Awesone rig!
@@TheEsox71 thank you kindly sir. Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🤙
Nice man cave / game room. Love that you have so much DIY stuff that is specific for your situation. The immersion must be great! Hope you can enjoy the racing with it (and don't focus on competition results or video results too much). I'm also in a small room. Similar size, maybe slightly bigger, but with a desk for office work in it too :) I've put my rig on wheels. It can't move much, about 50cm, but that's just enough to be able to get behind it to do some cable management. What brand is the Racelogic replica? I've seen a lot, but none have the real 'Racelogic' brand on it. Do the buttons work?
@@simfellow hello thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. The race logic was exactly this one here from Ali express. It’s expensive but I had read reviews and it is perfect. And yes the buttons do work and change the parameters that you see on screen. I just found this on AliExpress: £144.39 | SIMPUSH RACELOGIC dashboard simhub screen Sim Racing Dash Display SIMAGIC FANATEC THRUSTMASTER SIMUCUBE a.aliexpress.com/_EQNzrk8
Well that was great.....up until it wasn't lol...Kudos for giving the place back to Jari....
@@kennyrodg lol thanks for watching Kenny as always. Appreciate your time. What a track eh! Love it.
Mass murder 😮 Someone is getting their wrists slapped.
This is what you call a gaming room. Thumbs up buddy.
@@JohnnyGification thank you kindly good sir 😇
you missed Teague!! how, why
@@alanluth6755 😂 it was before I knew he was disgusting.
Love the rig looking fab mate
@@michaelstone3276 thanks dude. I appreciate the kudos and your time watching. Have a great day.
Absolutely love the setup mate, that hinged door with roll cage is a really cool idea, I race in VR but now Microsoft are stopping WMR later in the year my g2 is gonna become a large paperweight. Been thinking of switching to triples & seeing your rig makes me think I wouldn't be missing too much in terms of realism. Keep up the good work. Subbed
Hey dude thanks for the kudos mate. You scenario is similar to mine. I has the quest 3 and loves it but just couldn’t have the weight on my head for hours on end. And so I tried to do a ‘mixed reality’ rig and find a middle ground. I do love my rig now. Thanks for subbing and commenting dude. I appreciate your time. 🤙
Nice Setup - Did not know about the Black lights in GT3 good info now I gotta add one :)
old git
Good stuff, Jon!
@@Teague_races thank you kindly my friend. Thanks for commenting dude
Awesome Jon, yea boy !
@@steve196134 😂😂 cheers Steve
Thanks for that video i pick up a lot idea from you.
@@iRacingbalkan thanks for watching dude. It is nice to inspire rig building 🤙🫡
Really cool Jon, you've certainly put some effort into that place. Glad to see you back on the track.
@@ThePaulfa thanks Paul. Thank you for the kind words and for watching. I appreciate your time dude.
Awesome setup mate. You should be proud of what you have built. Don't worry about the number of views your videos get, make them because you enjoy making them, and not for anyone else. If people want to watch, then they will. If not, you have still had fun in the process . See you on the grid soon, hopefully.
Hey Martin thanks for the comment dude. And for the kind words. I do enjoy the videos and you are right. I will make them regardless 🤙 see you on track soon dude!
Love the car-door design, that's very clever. All of it is very well thought out.
@@Andrew034 thanks dude. I appreciate your time and thanks for commenting. The door is a conundrum because it was originally just a knock up for proof of concert to be changed to aluminium but it would cost well over £200 and I just figured….this works 😂
Fantastic mate, what a cool pad. I'm super pleased it's grabbed you again and your re-excited with it. Too good to go to waste that lot mate.
@@kennyrodg hey Kenny. Thanks for the kudos dude. I am glad I am back In the rig too. It was close to being broken and sold tbh. Hopefully it sticks around a bit longer 🤙 thanks for commenting dude. I appreciate your time.
Crazy setup mate. Could you add links or names for the products you have in the description? Like the racelogic thing for example, the nets and everything else LOL. Looks epic!
I will get on that later and text you here when it’s done.
@@OnlyFoolsGaming Perfect! Thank you mate
Edited
Anything else you wanna know just hit me up
WOW that was quick, thank you. 😘 Well done Sir.
You’re welcome. Thanks for showing interest. Any questions you have just ask. Thanks for stopping by.
👀 what is this.. jon showing rig?
Is that ok? 😉
@@OnlyFoolsGaming it's weird.. didn't know u race or sold the rig

@@iRacingbalkan I do remember you yes. Thanks for the kudos. And thanks for commenting. I appreciate it. See you on track.
GGZ mate good to see you back at it
Thanks for commenting mate. I fell out of love for a while but hoping I will be back a bit more now 🤙❤️
Great race and awesome video. 🤘
@@LightningMagoo thanks dude. I was watching you recently. On twitch. I enjoy your content too 🤙
I realise the engine is not dipping quite enough when I speak. I will sort that for the next video. Many thanks for being here everyone.
Nice work
@@Jgaming1534 thanks dude
What's sweet about keepin me behind eh haha. Nice one Bud, on iracing medium as well, kudos. I was on the limit the whole race and the Mustang was a proper handful. Once you'd gone after the pit I eased it back a bit just to get home...First of 3 I've finished and a 0x. Not too bad I guess. Oh and btw, fekkin awesome to see you back.
hey kenny thanks for watching and commenting dude....everyone wants to beat kenny right? I am looking forward to the next one. Cheers mate.
any time soon a rig tour?
@@gwenndolynnmecklenburg6457 I will get one organised.

Did you stop sim racing?
No but I stopped UA-cam. It was a lot of effort 😂
@@wilddough8859 I may start throwing the odd video up. Unfortunately sim racing is saturated on UA-cam and I figured nobody needed another sim racing channel 👍
@@OnlyFoolsGaming Makes sense, however you're content is really good and not the same as the next sim streamer, so keep going at it I would say.
I appreciate the compliment
Great simracing garden shed!
Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️😇 it’s definitely a cool place to hang out 😎
@@OnlyFoolsGaming If i would have own yard i would definately build similar :) Instead i now need to build my simrig to my living room and do streaming there :D
@@simusami4944 you are lucky to have a tolerant family 😂 my wife would not have this in the house !

Dude, SICK build. Did you DIY everything or did you start with a base seat?
Thanks for watching and for the comment. This is all built around a simlab gt evo aluminium cockpit with integrated triple mount. Then I got creative with some board and plastic and stuff ❤️😎
Any link to see the product and price? Thks
Hello thanks for the comment. This is the product I bought at this link. Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! £148.59 | SIMPUSH RACELOGIC dashboard simhub screen Sim Racing Dash Display SIMAGIC FANATEC THRUSTMASTER SIMUCUBE a.aliexpress.com/_EIFjf4J
in the "arena complex" it's really easy to get drawn into the first apex (ignoring initial entry) too early and then you end up scrubbing more and more speed to hold the line otherwise you just keep on drifting further and further right, you then also end up messing up the exit cos the car is at the completely wrong position for that too. Try to keep more right AFTER the entry corner and then cut across quick to hit said apex at a more open angle, I try to look at / aim for the tree line [edited: "clump of trees"] / barrier colour change just to force me to keep right that little bit more and not get "drawn in". Also, I'm surprised you're in 2nd through Vale, the pick up is too slow on exit (car dependant obvs), I "coast 1st" and then progressive shift all the way through Farm. Lovely rig btw, well jeal. [edited: yeah you're losing significant time through "arena", there are plenty of examples in the footage of faster cars carrying way more speed on exit and they end up leaving you behind. Just compare their track position to your own "pre apex", they are further right before cutting left... "clump of trees in the distance" :-D]
I am open to any suggestions that again me performance. I am fairly new to Ferrari. I have driven bmw mostly and I think it has a little more torque so my shifts may be off a bit. By the time I get to vale the rears are just so hot it feels like it’s lighting up so much. But I will try and implement changes to get better for sure. I really appreciate your time watching and commenting and thanks for the rig kudos 🤘🤘
Nice
