    I’ve done the race room which is now closed as far as I know it was fun, tracksvr looked to have a good setup.
    Race Room was awesome, they had some very high-end sim equipment, I think tracksvr still uses belt driven thrustmaster wheelbases. Though that's obviously perfectly adequate for some people.

    How many iracers do we have here? Do you guys compete in any leagues? Enough interest to set up a league for beyonders?
    I'd join for a once to twice a week race if we could get 6-8 people.

    I'd be in, but only as comedic relief

    I’d be down for something other than iracing, never enjoyed that one. Probably the pricing of it got to me.

    Got the Next Level F-GT cockpit. Seems pretty good so far. Need get a few more things like keyboard stand, PC stand, do some cable management. Maybe mount some speakers to the wall.

    Where are people buying their chassis from, and what would you reccomend? I have a rig made from junk wood in my garage and an old stand off amazon but I just ordered a Simagic Alpha Mini bundle and I don't think what I have now (see below) is going to hold up. I would like something that lets me keep the old Prelude seat I have but I imgine that's going to take some custom work which I am fine with.

    I highly recommend Advanced SimRacing. Canadian company based in Quebec. They offer free shipping which is pretty nice considering a chassis can be pretty heavy.

    Thanks, seems like a decent shop, any thoughts on ASR 3 vs ASR 4?

    I think the only real consideration between the two would be if you ever plan on upgrading your wheel base to something with more power. The ASR 4 would definitely be able to handle a beefier wheelbase. The uprights have a much stronger mounting point.

    Wanting to upgrade my steering base/wheel and pedals. I am sold on the Moza R12 and KS wheel, but not so much on the srp or crp pedals. I kind of want to stay within one ecosystem for the most part. Should I wait until crp2 pedals are readily available? I've also heard good things about Simagic, but don't know enough about their products.

    It sounds like Fanatec is facing some business troubles, so maybe steer clear of that company for now?

    Will be interesting to see what happens to Fanatec.

    I went down the rabbit hole of youtube videos on midrange wheels/bases/pedals reviews. Ended up getting the Simagic: Alpha/GT Neo/P1000. Other close contenders were Asetek and Moza, but the lack of quality pedals in those brands steered me towards the Simagic brand.

    I also like the Simagic haptic pedal addons and am doing some research on adding some diy bass shakers to the rig.

    Email I got:

    Corsair have completed the deal to purchase Fanatec. A letter from Andy Paul, CEO, Corsair Gaming.

    Dear Fanatec Customer,

    I am delighted to announce that Fanatec has joined the CORSAIR family. CORSAIR was founded 30 years ago and is a California-based manufacturer of PC Components and Gaming Peripherals for the gaming enthusiasts.

    Fanatec will operate in a similar way to SCUF and Elgato within the CORSAIR family – it will continue to develop and launch products its world-class product range from the current headquarters in Landshut, Germany.

    I know you have questions; I wanted to send a letter to answer some of them for you. Firstly, I want you to know that CORSAIR is committed to Sim Racing, the community, and creating great products. There are things at Fanatec that we want to help improve, and I assure you, these are top of our list.

    These include:
    • Customer Service / Speed of Delivery
    • Warranty
    • Software Updates

    What does this mean for Customer Service/Speed of Delivery?

    We know the some of the community are not happy about the current state of Customer Service. I get this – I hear you; we are committed to improving this, we want you to have the support you need should something go wrong. We run a global support and logistics operation, and we will be integrating Fanatec into this, giving you better service and more transparency.

    What does this mean for my warranty?

    CORSAIR will honour all existing Fanatec warranties. Customers should still reach out to the Fanatec team directly for support via their Fanatec accounts. Our priority is to ensure prompt resolution of warranty issues during this transition of ownership and of course provide continuous improvement of customer support.

    What does this mean for Software Updates?

    We are used to running a company that has both software and hardware elements – CORSAIR, Elgato, and SCUF all have these needs. We also know that people don’t always get it right. That’s where we will be stepping in and making things better. It won’t be perfect straight away, but I am committed to ensuring we improve this over time.

    What does this mean for Fanatec going forward?

    Overall, Fanatec joining the CORSAIR family means that CORSAIR’s expertise and resources will enhance the Fanatec product lineup and make significant improvements to the logistics and customer service. Global availability of Fanatec products will also expand through CORSAIR's extensive channels. As I have said, Fanatec and its customers will benefit from CORSAIR’s world-class support, including warranty and software updates.

    We are incredibly excited about this new chapter for Fanatec, and we would like to thank the community for its continued support. All of us at CORSAIR are committed to raising the brand to new heights and we look forward to sharing this bright future with you!

    Andy

    I have the same setup, I got the haptic for my brake pedal and it's great, takes some time to tune it correctly in simhub but its pretty cool once it's setup. I sort of wish I got another for the throttle, the immersion it provides is quite fun.

    I'd also reccomend the brake elastomer and spring kit, it's not too expensive and gives you lots of customization options.

    I am really liking my Simagic setup so far and have the haptics for both pedals. I like the feedback for abs and wheel lockup. My next addition will probably be an underseat bass shaker.
