The BEST Guide For Your First SimRacing Setup!

You should of mentioned the cammus C5 wheel base !!

Fanatec isn't the best nawadays. They tend to invest more in advertising and less in quality of service.

Just buy a used G29 and have fun.

What second round fanatec wheel would you recommend to compliment the F1 2.5?

Great video. Full of useful info for somebody like me who's trying to dip their toe in the sim world. Subscribed.

You’re the madman, having a podium base on the Playseat challenge haha! I have the PS challenge as well for many years with a Logi G29. Now I upgraded to the CSL DD. I have the 8Nm version and I feel it’s the absolute limit for the PS challenge. And I purchased a 3d printed full reinforcement kit for the playseat to make it more rigid to hold the forces of the 8Nm DD. and then I see you with a podium. Hats off to you sir!

“Sim racing “ the last 5 or so years with need for speed and horizon 5
Just upgraded to ACC and Logitech pro 😅

if you're on the PC... don't do fanatec to you...
There are now better ones from moza asetek etc
In addition, fanatec's ecosystem is very expensive to expand if, for example, you don't want a wheel from fanatec.

bro just get a t150 pro with shifter, it has a lot better force feedback

Dont buy Fabatec!
The dont diliver your Order!

Fanatec does offer great realism. If you ordered a real race car you’d probably get it in about the same time frame as a Fanatec setup. Maybe even faster 😂

This guys is biased . I wonder if he is getting paid.
And information is dated

You missed Moza.. I'm loving my Moza r5 bundle. Neck in neck with Fanatec. And lots of reviewers were complaining about the brake pedal.. it seems like they listened and upgraded the pedals.

Also, I wouldn't touch g920 and other logitechs or thrustmaster.. maybe check out Cammus c5? Which is a cheap direct drive wheel. I started with g920, I kept losing, I returned it and upgraded to Moza r5.. instant upgrade. No longer am I not sure what is the wheelbase vs what's being simulated allowing me to 'feel the car' and know if I'm understeering or oversteering around turns. Massive difference. You can get their with g920 as you can get there and compete with visual alone but night and day difference and worth the upgrade to go with direct drive.

recommending fanatec while the company is currently trying their hardest to destroy their reputation as fast as possible...bold move. It's probably a great time to buy on the used market though considering how many sim racers are currently selling their fanatec gear to swap to different companies gear. That high end wheelbase looks super out of place mounted onto that g29 entry level flex machine of a chair though. who needs base shakers when your wheelbase is strapped to a lawn chair like some poor mans diy haptic feedback attempt?😆

Interesting you failed to mention Simucube, Simagic and Asetek, despite those brands possessing superior build quality and performance to anything Fanatec offers. Not to mention Fanatec's putrid RMA process and deplorable quality control/customer support. But hey, I hear you.

Consider moza it’s comparable to fanatec without the lower quality quick release. I got the r12 and a full setup(shifter and handbrake with lc pedals) for about 1250

Crazy how underrated is this channel

Same here, I started my sim-racing journey from Logitech G923 on PS5. After 1 year, I upgraded to Fanatec GT DD Pro base, Clubsport V2.5 wheel and CSL pedal with Load cell brake. I will go for the CSL pedal because it can take out the clutch. I only play F1 games; the clutch is useless for me.

Great video dude. I just got into sim racing a couple of months ago and I bought a logi 920 for $200 in amazon and it’s great for a beginner. I’m def thinking about upgrading in the future but this wheel and pedals get the job done

Thanks, dude! I have been debating getting my first setup as I have recently gotten F1 23 and GT7. This was very helpful in helping me narrow things down.

also asetek simsports is probably the best bang for buck

how does this guy only have 1.5 k subs he should have at minimum a million

I remember when I bought my first set-up for Sim racing, and I still have it still this day, with some upgrades needed of course but after 5 years now of use, still works like a champ. Overall mines cost over 1000 dollars.
