That's disgusting. Some people think they can do anything on a public road. Probably in a school zone with mum's with prams. If I was a cop I would hunt down and throw the book at that total

Solid Fanatec gear there 😍

Hoping we buy a bigger place in a few years and it has space for a SIM rig!

Despite being a technology person I have never tried sim racing, is it really any good? I just cant see how it would be fun vs actual driving?

Not cheap either 0_0

I have a group that does a few races in GTS on a Thursday night.
Pretty good fun.
Dont have a lot of room for a permanent rig so have a foldable table
Just a cheap G29 wheel.

One of my mates made my real car in the game (close as possible, no GTST in the game)

I went from the ps clubsport version to the ps direct drive and it was a huge difference.

felt soo much more real. Always used it on full torque aswell.
had a buttkicker mounted under the seat and could feel all bumps and ripples aswell 

to buy the gear I had ur looking at around 6k. But I made my own rig at work so that saved me a good $1200+

Thats for sure,
I did get my 32 GTST for $3.5K lol Wonder what its worth now 3 to 5 times that much id say
I know guys that have steering wheels more expensive than my track car, then add in pedals, Chair/seat/rig, big screen TV, sound system etc.
some of those hydraulic sim racing rig are between $10K-$20K!!!

yep I could have built another car for whats in my setup currently.
PC, Monitor, Sim setup around $7k but I've gotten a lot of use. If had a track that could use weekly I would sell my setup and put the money into driving.

if any of you guys wanna come try it out, let me know.
PS4 - Gran Turismo Sports Thursday night approx 7:30pm 
We host private rooms so no random drop ins. So will need to be PSN friends with the host.
mostly clean fun racing.
we do 4-6 short races, generally no tyre wear or fuel stops, We do a bathurst own car (or as close to as possible) race first up which is in the N class around 350HP, super fun.
We have a FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/gtsoc
but mainly use discord for chat.
There are some serious guys in the group and they do league races on other nights.

+1 here.

went from a fanatec belt driven thing which was a massive step up from the likes of a g series Logitech but the DD is next level. It does need a solid base to mount it to or it moves around too much. The TR 160 sorted that out!

Its the other way around, should buy a proper sim setup and sell the actual track car.

Much more racing, Better competition, Much less cost, Massively more accessible. Infinitely more safe.

Doing actual wheel to wheel is kinda nonsensical...

lol Id have to say its the other way for me. 
Sim racing still feels like im playing a game.
Even for one of those big bucks hydrolic setups with VR

Nothing beats sitting in the drivers seat when on the track sending it

Agreed, I don't mind games, but there's no comparison to sound/feel of real racing. 

Even watching motorsport on TV vs being there, very different. Both good for different reasons but very different.

If I'm ever building a SIM rig (which I will one day) it will need to be a motion SIM.

No tyres, brakes fluid, engines to change, no fuel costs, etc. Can hit up Wakefield Park at 3AM lol

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
