Thanks Guys, I'll try to get some video up for you soon.
Its a GREAT setup for sure. Getting faster by the lap... he he.

George

I am thinking that it might cost me a bit unless I find some serious discount on air fare to go try that one out

Alex Ball · Mar 13, 2011

Who's harness is that on the wall?

The setup looks great - I'd change the G27's wheel to make it look more proper, but apart from that - perfect!

Alex, thats Fernando's from his R25 that he won his first world championship with...

eh?
Picked them up at an Autosport show, when Fernando was diving for Renalut and not being a petuluant little child, before his fraccar with Ron and McLaren... Lost all respect for him then, but have kept his belts in the hope that he wins some more titles and the value goes up.

Its going to take a little while longer before we are over the Mclaren Year... Anyone want to buy them?

There is also a motage of Stirling Moss shots in a frame with a silver Merc from the 50's which is signed by Stirling, that a friend gave me for Christmas in the room too. (you can see it in the 2nd still.) Stirling Moss is a Hero of mine. That drive in the Mille Miglia is the drive of ALL time in my book...10 hours at an average of 98.x mph just leaves me speachless. 1955 I think it was.... check it out.

Moss 'had' Fangio (driving the same equipment) by 30 minutes... nuff said!

Right the little man wants to do a JigSaw so I am off. Later Guys.

Might change the wheel, we will see.
Jim, if your over here the offer is good dude.

Awesome mate, how cool

I am a Fernando fan - there isn't many better drivers!

John Sydenstricker · Mar 13, 2011

Your monitor support frame looks nice enough to just stain and finish. Really awesome setup!

George Pilkington · Mar 13, 2011

Thanks John, it'll get primed, sanded, painted gloss black and with maybe just a little grey to compliment the actuator covers that Chrissie insisted were painted as red did not match the carpet... ha ha!

Built for me by a mate who is a true craftsman. Anybody need the same and let me know and I can put you in touch.

Very nice mate, how much noise does it make when operating? I mainly race late at night and have seriously considered getting a simxperience but my wife is concerned about how loud it would be. Could you do a vid without any game sound so we could hear how it sounds when operating? Thanks if you can.
Oh and I'll be up your way soon...... Hehehehe
