My CSR wheel and pedals look brand new because it’s been in the closet for the past 5 years. However, I do need to do something about my chair. It’s uncomfortable and it keeps moving back when I brake!

Wow, I like that equipment on the left!

Here is mine. Old G25 still doing the job pretty good, few weeks ago I updated it with a proper wheel and did some RST diy shift paddles. Next I need new pedals.

Nice! What's the frame/seat combination you're using? It looks like it could fit at the spot I want it to have.

Mine isn't any better and tonight you were faster on the hards than I was on the mediums.

Yes was indeed fun and educational also because at certain turns you had a better exit. I tried to copy that but without much succes. A question therefore: do you use 2nd gear somewhere on the track?

 

[Ronnie Böhme]

It's bee a while since I raced (at all) with you guys. Time to change that.
@Medilloni Please sign me up. Thanks for the nudge and for organizing .

my set up in the box room which as took me 23yrs to aquire now my son as moved out lol, always had to make do with a keyboard on my lap

 

[MJBTV]

Thanks everyone for sharing your setup's! my first thought is I need to upgrade the wheel and pedals before shelling out on a cockpit

Sorry for hijacking the thread @Medilloni

Looks like we've got good numbers tonight. Managed a 1.57 in practice after a few laps but struggling to see where I can make up 3/4 seconds to catch everyone else!

One second is enough to catch me!

@MJBTV
Funny how people see “only” lap times as the magic marker for bliss.
I am not saying it is not important, it is just part of the whole package.
To me most important thing is the whole package, I cannot do much about my ultimate lap times, that was sorted just before someone plonked me onto this planet.
But I can do something about most of the other things that makes one a complete racing driver in sims, having fun is one of them too.
I notice generally in racedepartment a lot of very competent drivers, some are quicker some are slower.
Example, if I got down on the starting blocks in a 100m sprint next to Usain Bolt,
They would have to stop the start due to everyone rolling about with laughter.

The same applies in sim racing, but it is not visible, so you make the assumption we are all equal. We’re not.
If it’s meant to be it will happen, don’t force it, that is a sure way of stiflingly it for sure.

Anyone else has performance issues on this particular track? Not really a big problem but I get anoying stuttering in certain parts of the track, even in offline practice.

And since everyone is Sharing their setups... I got a taped up T300 that has served me well.

I started out as a desk racer and then "upgraded" to a wheel/pedal stand, a modified IKEA Poäng and then moved out to the living room. Everyone in the household is happy with this solution

Nice! What's the frame/seat combination you're using? It looks like it could fit at the spot I want it to have.

Seat and frame was bought from local department store many years ago. But after that I added a monitor mount and a lot more material to make it more solid. Also wheel and chair angles are customized to my liking.

First time I used it I got the odd screen wobble Erik, then saw this in the download instructions and it was fine:

 

[Kek700]

I did a practice session with @Dennis Manke I noticed some really random bad Stuttering, worse than normal.
I think I will take johns advice and turn down the world detail.

I think the lowest gear I used was 3rd, pretty sure tried 2nd a few times and it didn't seem as quick

Thanks. Conclusion: you're just faster in this combo , although I was gaining quite a lot in turn 9 . There's room for improvement for you with a slightly different line, I think.

Thanks John, I will give it a try tonight and see if it helps
