Computer .
G25 wheel, paddle shift and wheel button for handbrake.(After nearly 2 years of playing on keyboard, it's hard to get used with the wheel)
Bumper cam view.
No pace notes edited and no other mods. Very few times, brake balance modif.
Practice: 1 maybe 2 runs (sometimes none because of lack of time)
My other hobby, taking photos on motorsport events, last week I was passanger in a Renault Clio R3 Maxi, in the hands of a professional rally driver, in the Shakedown

Age 27
PC with 32" full HD TV
Modded G25, stick shift (sequential but have played with full manual and paddles tho).with home made hand brake and built in digi dash (

).
In car (driver cam),I also set RSRBR view to be as close to original in car view.

I Play casualy so practice realy isnt an issue for me as its all in full but i play private games usualy for an hour or so at a time 2-3 nights a week.
Also play on the race department club rally's

Nigel Atkins · May 31, 2011

Age 50
PC with 24" monitor
Fanatec Turbo S wheel and inverted club sport pedals, my cockpit is an office desk with a Sierra Cosworth seat.
usual use bonnet cam but after a rushed reinstall i used bummer cam but will be going back to bonnet.
for league rallys i practice a lot and have just started to use the pace note editor, for the club events i still practice quiet a bit but no plans to edit pace notes for club rallys just yet.
i use HDR bloom & cam hack.
setups i suck at big time so just generally make a few small adjustments and run this setup on all stages.

Warren Dawes · May 31, 2011

Age: 61 (ok, stop laughing, I'm still a kid at heart).
PC with 23 in monitor. Swivel office chair and desk.
G25 wheel with Fanatec CSP Pedals (just installed the pedals recently, still getting used to them). Paddle for shifting and G25 Shifter in seq mode for handbrake.
Driving view varies depending on the Car and how good the cockpit view is. I recently stopped using CamHack (due to some issues with it), so if the cockpit view is poor, I'll use bonnet view or bumper view.
No Pacenote edits (although I wish I knew how) or mods (except for Numnotes).
Practice varies, I try to practice a bit for RDRC Rounds, but usually not much for Club Rallys. However, I do get some informal practice while testing cars to plan Club Rallys. Usually, the more I practice, the worse my result, lol.

Alastair Walker · May 31, 2011

Age 46
PC with 27" Dell IPS monitor
Fanatec GT3RS V2 Wheel & Club Sport Pedals
Manu-Factory Handbrake
Next Level Racing GT Extreme V2 cockpit
Driving View Bumper but might try this bonnet view Nigel mentioned.
Numbered notes mod with no pace note edits, yet, waiting on the guide on how to do this
Microdash wide mod
Practice at least a full day for the championship and club rounds. I drive each stage multiple times until I am sure I know all the hazards / tricky sections and always run a full rally simulation the day of the event to make sure I am ready and all the stages load correctly online. Yes I know I'm a bit OC when it comes to my rallying.
I use specific setups for each stage dependant on surface condition and gearing. These are based on the JimMethodPourSetup.txt file availabe in the setups section on RS Centre forum.
I use RBR to keep my eye in and senses sharp for our real rallies and find it is an excelent tool for doing this and a LOT cheaper than test days though not quite as fun it is extremely close.

Senad Subasic · May 31, 2011

Crappy PC, 23'' monitor
Logitech G27, paddle shifting most of the time, button for handbrake
Bumper view
Sitting on an exercise ball

Zero practice generally, obvious when you look at the results. I might force myself to try out a new stage, if there is one.
Don't fiddle with setups, mostly because of the bad user interface.

Age 67 (that should make Warren feel even younger )
PC with 42" flat screen monitor
Fanatec GT2 Wheel
Inverted Fanatec Club Sport Pedals
Frex h'brake and Seq Shifter (not in use yet)
CamHack with bumper view
Madadash wide
Training Day for reversed stages on separate installation.
HDR plugin
Pacenote Editor with num notes - edited stages to various levels.
Working on editing on editing reversed stages - some done others to do.
Starting to use Fanatec wheel setups for different stage types.
Car/Stage setups
Practice all of the club and championship stages - use pacenote editor offline and
online practice with Nigel. Only just found the bumper cam setting that suits me
best, now working on improving the speed.
Working on developing DIY hand brakes (pot and loadcell) Using Leo Bodnar PCB
for connecting Frex and developed accessories to PC (works well - lots of connection
possibilities).

I'm happy to share settings/setups and edited pacenotes - just ask

I will finish the editorial on pacenote editing and do one for the reversed stage editing - need to get the second installation installed on win 7 pc so I can transfer pacenote files between different installs.

If anyone has a particular problem with editing any particular stages then I'm prepared to take a look at that stage and see what I can do for them.
