Alright fair enough. Though it seems this whole thing feels a bit fabricated. Alot of local people said they were booing not max but Gregg abbot who was presenting as a lot of people do not like him,however it's being spun as max being the target.
Don't drivers usually have some sort of body guards pretty often? I've seen lewis with guards before but it wasn't at mexico.
Oh hell yeah I love it. Now we need an F3, and sf23 lmao cheers
Don't sleep on LFE, it brings so much immersion to simracing
When it comes to the world of sim racing, enthusiasts understand that the feedback you receive from the virtual car you're maneuvering is crucial. Nearly all vehicle feedback is felt through the steering wheel. Many dedicated sim racers swear by direct-drive wheels for their impeccable precision in ...
hey all, I've been using the Buttkicker Gamer Plus for a few weeks, and I must say it's honestly been a great addition to my sim racing setup.
For those who may not be familiar with it, this device allows users to physically feel sensations through vibrations. The Buttkicker Haptic System can replicate sensations like engine vibrations, tire slip, the texture of the road, and gear shifts, elevating the virtual driving experience to a whole new level of realism and engagement.
A more in-depth review, with pictures, here!
TLDR!
- Provides feedback where it is essential (tire slip, etc)
- Performance Boost: Improves driving skills and lap times(I find myself at a negative delta when its turned off, eventually I get back to pace)
- Considerations: It makes noise, so depending on living situations, it is something to consider. There are cheaper DIY options, but this is a complete no thinking solution.
- Easy Setup: Quick and straightforward installation.
- Customization: Fine-tune settings for personal preference, you can do this via iRacing directly or with buttkicker-provided software.
- Optimal Feedback: with the controller, you can quickly turn it up and down which is nice
- Verdict: Highly recommended for affordable immersion in sim racing.

I've had the FitCamX dash camera for a year now
A dash camera has long been seen as a must-have aftermarket purchase. Dash cams can help you fight a speeding ticket, record evidence of irresponsible drivers or automobile accidents, and record car theft or other unanticipated occurrences. Dash camera users may even be eligible for discounts from s...

Stowable Simracing Rig: A Foldable Solution for When Space is Tight!
If you're into sim racing, you know that a good setup can make all the difference. The Next Level Racing GT-Lite is a foldable sim racing cockpit designed for users with limited space who demand a realistic and rigid racing solution. This review covers the assembly, adjustments, comfort, and space-s...
hey all, I have seen a couple of comments discussing foldable simracing rigs. I've had the chance to get my hands on the Next Level Racing GT-Lite Foldable Simracing Rig, so I wanted to share some insights.
If you want to dive deeper into this, check out a more detailed review with more pictures right here!
tldr:
-
Assembly: Putting it together is a breeze, and it's versatile enough to work with various setups.
-
Adjustments: You've got some flexibility in customizing your wheel and pedal positions, but the backrest angle is set in stone.
-
Comfort: It's pretty convenient, but it does make a few comfort sacrifices in the name of portability.
-
Space Savings: If you're tight on space, this rig is a godsend. It folds up neatly for effortless storage.
-
Conclusion: Looking for a robust and portable solution to bring realism to your sim racing adventures in a cramped space? This seems like a solid solution.
You mean my top of the line Gawfolk monitor? Lmfao
You should see some of the first iterations of this rig. Scary stuff
You're not wrong! Just a proof of concept that ended up working pretty well
its also unfortunate when you mistype it thurstmaster....
Nothing to see here, just a simracing company

If only their UI wasn't so trash I'd only ever use weather.gov
I just posted a similar response but I think the issue, at least for me, is how deep into the weeds I get with each subject. Anyone can be into coffee for example, but it's the ones who do the research and watch the videos about the subject in their free time, that make a simple thing such as coffee become more of an obscure thing. 🤷♂️
Seems like every hobby is too obscure for most to care at the level I do. Sim racing, rtlsdr, self hosting, ANY kind of motorsports, home automation, blogging, DND, video games... At the surface these are not too obscure but I find very few people in my day to day life that care about them in detailed way
Spent a lot of time here this weekend
I'm running triples 1080 @ 75hz. Outer 2 monitors are curved. They were just monitors I had around and were not bought with sim racing in mind. so the bezel is not the same across all devices, but eventually Ill get new monitors.

Buttkicker Gamer Plus.
I just recently got the Buttkicker and man was that worth it. It adds so much immersion. I don't like racing without it anymore.
Divinity original sin 2 id assume. Great game as well by Larian.
Does it though? Not seeing anything about it
Good luck with it! Definitely have to tweak it a bit for others around you, but I think it's manageable enough. Once you find a good place to mount it you should be good. Cheers!
Yep...that entire situation is so crappy. The devs deserved better.
Huge fan of the Buttkicker Gamer Plus

Hey all, so I got the Buttkicker Gamer Plus over the weekend and was able to mess around with it.
What a neat experience. If you're in an environment that allows you to use something like this I would highly recommend it.
I did a quick write-up with some more details if you want to check it out.
Yep. I didn't choose to have rgb in my current build, but it's also very simple to turn them off. Whereas 15 years ago I remember pulling the blindingly bright blue LED from the chassis fans just to be able to have my room dark. Lol
