    As a simracer who got into the hobby around 2 years ago and just got a DD wheel 2 months ago my biggest issue is finding the time to build all of the cool ideas I have in my head. Up until recently I was making a pedal plate for my Simjack pros and once the plate was done I thought I'll have a day or two off from working on it. Then I looked at my DIY AMG steering wheel and thought "hmm. i have 3d printed paddle shifters. Why don't I make aluminium ones." And so I did, not even 12 hours after finishing the pedal plate I had started working on the paddle shifters

    Just finished watching. This rig has come so far from the simple triple screen rig which you used to have to now. Would be able to even tell it’s the same. Well done

      Thanks for watching mate! No plans for full motion however I’ve been told really good things about the next level racing haptic seat pad! Apparently it gives a lot of good feedback on what’s happening with the car movement wise so I’ll be purchasing and testing it out in the future 👍

    A formula position seat would be next am I right? The current one ist probably too upright.

    • @alexkayracing
      @alexkayracing  Рік тому

      No it’s a good height! The camera is a bit higher than my eyes but I can see the wheel screen etc easily. I also have 1 hole left of the seat to go lower so it should be covered!

    Thanks for the video! really cool setup. but 1200 USD on the Safety Restrains isnt too much? im prerry sure one would make them using more like 5mm kraft foamboard to shape it and using vynils to cover it.
