- SIM Racing has played a vital role in my growth behind the wheel. I started with a g25 moving into a rseat with fanatec wheel base and pedals. Now I'm so proud to own my first ASR rig with simucube and D-box components.

this video made me realize i'm in the wrong line of work.. The profit margin on that stuff is insane...
Thank you so much JCD! Your place looks amazing, can't wait to be back in Cali!!!
Same man! Looking forward to having you back.
Dude, you just had to 1 up my ASR6 chassis I just built 🤤 Now I feel like I need a D-box and active pedals!!!!
Yesss active pedals are a must, and I definitely dig the dbox
45k? Give over, no more than 17kish in hardware there, all off the shelf stuff!
Haha well the hard cost adds up to 27k but not to say you can’t do it for less. Cheers
Acknowledging that you're ok paying 18k for someone to put this shit together is absolutely f'n insane. It's a couple hours at most to assemble this stuff. And this is the most basic looking rig. My personal rig blows this thing far far away. They're shitty for ripping you off and you are dumb as fuck for paying that. You said the extra 18k was worth it for THEIR tuning...wtf...YOU are the racer...TUNE YOUR OWN SHIT! It'd be funny of it wasn't so sad.
Well done, ASR: at least $20,000 profit for you.
That's so sweet! In a few of the background shots it looked like you were driving your fricken house at Sebring!!! lol
😂😂😂, thank you.
🤤🤤🤤 congrats man! Looks epic
Thank you brotha
Niiiiice JCD!! Stepping the game up!🤘
Very much appreciated! Cheers
Another amazing setup by ASR! Congratz!
🙌🏻 love this thing. Thank you really appreciated, just subscribed to your page. Epic content
Insane what they're charging for these sim rigs. 😆
Yet people are still buying. Give the rig 3-4 years use and she will be toast
Great video. Enjoy the rig.
Thank you I really appreciate the feedback! Cheers
My wife is gonna hate me when I end up buying that brake pedal 😍
Definitely my favorite piece, definitely worth the it 😂
Bro this is absolutely WILD! I gotta try this thing sometime homie
Glad you got a chance to drive it today!
I want one!!!!❤ Loving it😊
🙌🏻🙌🏻 do it and thank you!
Nice Rig 👍🏼 congratulations ✌️
Hey! Thank you so much for that. Very much appreciate you dropping a comment.
Awesome video John! Thanks for having us over and for your trust in this project. We’ll definitely be back!
Very nice 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I don't understand this, it seems like content creators are trying to one up each other on sim rig builds lately....seems like most of these folks just found out about sim racing in general. Part of the enjoyment of building a rig is exactly that, spec your own gear, build and customize it to your hearts desire. Outsourcing this to a company like ASR immediately implies a substantial increase in cost and an equal decrease in value (outside of their expertise of course). Time is money though, if $45k was worth it to you to outsource this, all good. I think you blatantly got ripped personally and this would also explain why it took me 5 weeks to get my ASR rig from them as i'm sure i'm classified as a "non-VIP" consumer.
This is not a one up rig or my intentions here. Rigs can be in the six figures so this is more me sharing a turn key 45,000. Last few rigs I’ve built. been on iracing since 2010 back on the ole g25 haha. Had fantec after that then moved on up to simucube. Played with a few rig style. I’m launching another video explaining how I acquired this rig and if I think the service is worth it and who it’s for. I don’t recommend this route for anyone with dyi but I do believe market exists for those that race and that want a sim as a tool but don’t necessarily enjoy, or want to build their own. Highly respect your view on it and thank you for the comment. Cheers JCD
@@jcdracing_ Hey, it’s all good man, didn’t mean to rain on your parade and i get why people go this route but I’m just surprised that’s all, it’s spending almost double the cost just for labor and some advisory. It’s also strange that so many content creators have done this exact thing over the last 3 months or so, it’s like they all just discovered SIM. Setup looks great and I can’t wait to get my ASR pro as well, they are one of the best out there……should be next week. :-). I will say, SIM racing is not an easy entry for anyone given all of the learning, setup, and technical stuff most need to figure out to get in and make it all work, so i can see people paying someone else to provide advice on what to buy and then assist on setup and configuration of all the necessary software and accessories. I dream of spending $45k on my MKV Supra, it’d be an 8 second car. :-)
@@MikeBaloga oh man!! That Supra sounds sweet. We need to do what we did for this rig and find a sponsor to buy it that gets value in return. Dropping a second video explaining how I got this rig and I’m not out of pocket. 45k in that Supra would be sweeeeet! You didn’t rain on my parade but very much appreciate you taking the time to write back. I will share all of the actual pricing and the invoice plus show their labor. Even tho they inflated the cost after the overhead not sure they truly make that much either. Interested if people know of a better turnkey solution over just blasting the cost. A client does exist that needs it not only built but maintained as a tool over hobby purpose. Where do they go for that service? As someone that’s been on iracing since 2010 and my 4th rig this has been the best service and the product is matches the service from my now personal experience with them. Hopefully we see turnkey solutions that offer this same level in performance for much less here soon in the future as the more that join the community the better the racing will get.
When you get your rig always game to run laps with new friends. Cheers 🍻
Hell I would be happy with the old setup!!!!
It’s for sale 😂
Well done presentation.. Beautiful rig. you should be very happy with it.. Learn to look at the camera lens...
Noticed that after. Haha new camera and it has the screen to see yourself to the side of the lens
Good that you enjoy your rig but you overpaid big time. It is really a $ 20,000 to $25,000 mostly at MSRP and without taking advantage of sales, Black Friday, and bundles which could have saved another $5,000 easily.They also cut a few corners with the steering wheels and the lack of bezel free kit. For this price, they should have included top of the line in all categories instead of pocketing half for “service”. While it is nice to have someone build a rig for you, there are a lot of advantage in building your own rig beyond the substantial savings. You can upgrade, repair, and optimize it without having to,wait for someone to do it for you and the cost and downtime. Not the best value for your money but the essential is that you enjoy it and you could comfortably afford that.
Hey Alain, very true. The hardware added a up to around 27k with all the miscellaneous. No sales purchased to make an event so timely install was needed with no tuning. I agree and have built all my rigs till this one. It term of people that live on the road like myself 200/250 days on the road coaching the last thing I want to do is come home and work on the sim haha. Also this relationship was formed so other that I coach that want turn key and remote service because they don’t have the time or know how to build. This is a good route for those individuals. Thank you for the comment and very factual. Cheers
got ripped off lol
What’s the angle of your seat looking at the video. Rear side mount are 3rd hole up and front hole is the same or one notch above the rear so the lower cushion is flat almost ?
So front mount by knees is lowest position, back mounting point is at second from the bottom. Cheers 🍻
Nice, definitely get VR to make the motion come alive.
Thank you! Which headset do you recommend!? Appreciate the comment
@@jcdracing_ Meta Quest 3
45k for what you actually got is ridiculous. You’re trying to boast but you really got ripped off.
Haha thank you for your outlook. I’ll be releasing a video explaining. You can build this rig if you have the know how and what you want for much less and I’m not claiming you can’t. Their service comes at a premium but at the same lots of service is provided for those that can’t build or maintain their own sim. Question is who does it value, for a serious racer that competes and needs it as a tool in very small windows of time that support could play into the value. Thank you for the comment and happy to sim with you. Cool rig, cheers JCD!
@@jcdracing_ You’re happy that’s all that matters. Lots of different ways to do the same thing. Cheers
Brother if you knew anything about this world, you wouldn't be saying that.
45k scam
@@jcdracing_if you can’t build and maintain your own sim rig you shouldn’t have one 😂
Wow! great setup what sizees are the triple monitor setup?
32" UHD monitor with 240Hz refresh rate and Quantum Mini-LED G8 Odyssey for the triples (Samsung)
Wheres the other 30 grand?
Hey video two shows their invoice for this part of the build. Few pieces still missing and also shows what they charge for service fees.
Interesting video for doing SIM Racing, But this kind of pricing does not fit my retired budget.
Thanks for the video. Take care.
They do sell DYI wheel you can buy just the hardware and build yourself. You’ll save a ton but you have a lot more hands on. Building the rig is one thing but then getting the screens to show right field of view, haptic feed back, wheel settings, pedal settings.. Ect it can be a process if you’re new and don’t know what it should feel like. That being said endless resource online to tune yourself if you go the build route. For programs: road racing Iracing and for drift AC.
@ing_ Thanks for the additional info. I have gone the VR route of viewing SIM racing games and enjoy the immersion into the game. The thing I don't have is some kind of Racing Rig (Just a wheel controller clamped to my Desk). Still debating on if I need that kind of fancy hardware. Thanks and take care.
@@dathyr1 hey that truly is up to you. I started just like you. First rig for me was a play seat with g25 after that. If I could offer advise if you do go to a rig make sure it’s something like this that has the ability to be modified. Some tube chassis’s will really limit your ability to customize to your exact needs. The most important part is to have balance. Don’t spend to much on it if it’s for fun as it can burn people out and then they want to cash it back out. So enjoy your wheel base and program of choice and if you feel like building one to enjoy the next tier go for it. Let me know which route you go and add me on the sim, we can run laps. Cheers 🍻
Hi beautiful set up! What size are the screens your running?
Hey! I run 32” curved screen. Samsung G6 and that’s an LG up top
@@jcdracing_ Thanks! I just ordered three 32 G5's good deal!
@@furiousstylze1 I think it’s a great size and leaves a workable footprint for a medium space. I find the field of view to be excellent and I can see both my side mirrors which was the goal 😂
If you want to sim once you get them love to hear how they work out for you.
@@jcdracing_ OK thanks! Will do.
Just subscribed!!!
Advanced simracing are the best. people know nothing if they think its overpriced… when you get all this build by three guys on spot! like wtf do you think they travel for free😂
@@Irongeff facts
Just tell how much it really was ? I get that you have to have a high price for a thumbnail but all that wasn't 45k.
I paid exactly 34,507.71 this does not include the wheel base, active pedal, throttle pedal and few small misc items. When you add those in that’s how the number came to $37,000. Then labor for the install was.. About 1k to setup And 8k was spent to fly 3 techs build in half a day and tune it to my race car ergonomics like field of view, pressure, resistances. Also they spent a good amount of time tuning different wheel and pedal maps for my needs.
If you DYI this rig can be built for less so not claiming that is what it cost to build just the hardware. That is for the turnkey service. Thank you for the comment, cheers 🍻
You paid MORE than double what a fair market price would be. ASR should be ashamed of taking advantage of people like this. Absolutely embarrassing lack of honesty and integrity on their part.
Turn key is more than then just the sum of all the parts. Is actually not that difficult to understand.
Isnt he sitting a little to far from the monitors ?
I might be but it was my preference
Wheres the clutch pedal?
😂😂 that’s on me. This was originally built and all the part were ordered for Gt. Drift is new to me and added that in but forgot to order the new clutch pedal.. that’s on me. Also adding a stream deck.
@@jcdracing_ awesome next up flight sim
Oh man don’t tempt me with a good time. I think the 3” dbox is the move for the hybrid sim for what ASR is telling me and 6” is really the way to go for flight sims.
Ridiculous price..!!!
45k and no clutch
Hahaha no it’s coming. That’s on me. I had the pedals. ASR invoice was 34,507.71 and 8k of that is them build and setting it up. To be completely honest with you it was set up to replicate a gt4 car that doesn’t have a clutch. But I started drifting last month. 5 days under my belt in comp drift cars haha so we decided to add the clutch, handbrake and wheel after the fact. Also have a plate that goes under the dbox for yaw (side to side) coming. This sim can be built with their products for less. Cheers 🍻
This is almost as much of a ripoff as what Rogan got from Podium 1.
😂 that’s awesome… think he got it worse. Second video explaining how I got it dropping. Also breaking down the invoice and talking about building vs this and I think it’s a rip off. Thanks for the comment, cheers 🍻
22k setup… no need to flex for no reason.
Asetek Invicta or Simucube ultimate , bezel free kits, not the entry GSI wheel should be getting run on that for that money, dude you have been ripped.
I’m saying that because you should be saying something they made bank
Haha no flex here. Appreciate the opinion, this cost point does include them all flying out to install and also taking to check my actual race car for seating and pedal pressures. This rig could be built for around 25/30k if built yourself and had no tuning done. I had my pedals and wheels before so the number I spent was less but the total meets 45k when added in. A painter can paint for half the cost of retail… but if you can’t paint that price is irrelevant… kinda how I look at sims for those that are not as blessed as you to be able to source, build and maintain their sims. I don’t mind supporting a business that’s willing to do all that so I can focus on driving and know that I can quickly reach out and have my sim fixed and optimize at anytime is priceless for those that need this as a tool and not a game. Thank you for the comment cheers 🍻
People love getting ripped off by these loser companies for sim rigs that aren’t even mind blowing for what you spend!
I have 2 sim rigs and well under $7,500
