Default My custom racing simulator

Finally got this done. VisionRacer VR3 chassis modified by me over the last 9 months. 120" surround screen, triple projectors, D-Box 4 actuator motion platform that provides pitch, roll, heave, yaw and transducer effects.

Alienware PC with dual GTX580s and 16GB of 1800mhz RAM.

Fanatec CSW line of controls, latest and most advanced steering wheels taken from real race cars. Enjoy.





















Let me know if you have any questions.
