Me and my brother wanted to get into sim racing, there was even a guy selling his G29 but withdrew it later on. It reatils for 24k and we might buy it in a month or two. In mean time I was looking at used offers, where I would get the wheel, pedals and shifter for around 20-25k. The main reason we are preferring first hand is we can buy it on EMI lol
@fastapifastdisks might have one.

Planning to purchase a Sim Rig/Cockpit & looking for advice from Sim racing members

Anyone using a Sim Rig/Cockpit?

Please share feedback on equipment used as being very niche there's very little info/feedback on this.

Thanks.

What's the cheapest we can go for load cell pedals? I have a g29 to pair it with...
Recently picked up the Moza SRP pedals (2 pedal set, 75 kilo load cell brake) from https://virtualracinghub.com/ . Delhi based and the owner is very responsive on WhatsApp. They have a 10% off code at the moment 'desiracer'. This plugs directly into a USB port, so it will work with the G29, select Separate Axis.

Pardon the mess :rolleyes: , I had to drill a couple of holes to mount the pedals and didn't clean up before taking the photograph

You're welcome. Simforge is great, but you need a dedicated rig because those have 80kg load cell brakes. I use a wheel stand - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B07XXP51N4/ and if I stomp on the brakes, it'll lift the entire wheel stand, so might be an option once I get a dedicated sim rig. I notice that they're selling a sim rig now, but quite expensive - https://simforge.in/shop/product/simforge-4080-rig/

What is the average cost of playing iracing annually (excluding the membership costs) ?
Really depends how many tracks n cras you wanna buy... you can get quite far with the basic free stuff till calss b. Mazda mx cup.
Yearly like 3k membership.
Plus 10-15$ per track or car. (Only once you love the game.)

I have had it for a few years now n own about 10 paid tracks plus about 5 cars. And now I maybe buy 2 tracks a year and a new car. So you can kinda estimate.

Once you get into it though the gear is way way more expensive though.

It'll work well with a TX300 wheelbase. There are some excellent reviews on Amazon, I've posted a short one there too - Amazon Reviews
Look for the review by PURANDHAR BUDDHARAJU, he covers everything.
