My seat is this one.

Just got one last week. Xbox one, Logitech g920 and open wheeler seat from Amazon. Pretty sweet for 750 or so.

The fanatic is crazy.

I got this setup last August. It's from a German company called Fanatec. Very high quality materials and construction and very precise and solid in operation. With shipping the entire setup...cockpit, seat, servo base, wheel, and pedals was about $3300. I already had the monitor.

It can be ordered to work any of the gaming platforms (XBOX One, PS4, PC) and is available with many add-ons and options including different wheels, shifters, multiple monitor stands, etc. I've been frustrated with the operation and reliability of other simulator setups I've owned; this is far and away the best I've experienced....for under $49,000.

I have a Thrustmaster T500RS to use with iRacing. Still new to the game, so mostly do practice laps.

The T500 seems to be PS3/PC only.

Yes i do. I have been sim racing for many years. Here is a pic of my setup. iRacing and Assetto Corsa are the best imo.

- Nixim polecat
- ARC pedals
- T500rs wheel with custom momo 27c steering wheel including paddle shifters and buttons.

Wow. Impressive setup Hsmith. There is always another level to everything. What did that cost and is it xbox based?

Sim Seats iRacing Pro Package - approx. $5500 - $6000 depending on options and seat. Highly recommend! It's great to learn new tracks.

Xboxone, forza 6. - Fanatec wheel, base and pedals and RS 1 seat. I have it on dollies so I can move it to a closet when I'm not using it. It's hooked up to a 90' sharp tv and 7.2 sound.

I run a Fanatec wheel/hub and simexpereince rig/pedals.

Been contemplating upgrading to a leo bodnar wheel, vesaro rig and VR head set. I think VR will be a huge step for it to really get the experience dialed in without spending $30k+
