I never get a chance to go on my rig, but I have:
Fanatec ClubSport v2.5 wheelbase Formula V2 rim HE Sprint Pedals 49" ultrawide From retiring real life racing SIM racing does fill the void slightly, but life takes over so I've probably only been on once in the last 6 months 😂 |

SOme of these setups are epic! Not jealous at all!
I did have a spell of iRacing for a few months some years ago, but was a basic Logitech bolted onto a desk with it's clamp. Nothing compared to some of you guys! |

What's the best wheel recommendation? I have a Logitech g29 but I'm realizing I need a better wheel. I'm thinking about upgrading to a fanatec, but want the best all around wheel for i racing, assetto and f1. Thank you all!

Well, I didn't feel like waiting for a Simlab or Trak Racer, so got a GT Omega Prime cockpit. Then I got Fanatec pedals, which are a huge upgrade from the G29 pedals. But the G29 wheel sucks, so just ordered Fanatec DD2 base and 2 wheels. I'm trying not to tally up what I've spent thus far lol next up, need to upgrade my monitor.
My son and I use this quite a bit since he's been karting, so I chalk this up as an investment towards dad and son time. I'm still trying to hold him off as far as lap times, but he'll catch me in next 1-2 years haha kids catch on quick |

Very surprised to see so many people using displays. I was a 3 screen player until I bought an Oculus Rift. Playing iRacing once I tried the Oculus and realized I was in the car and could look over the edge of the door and see pavement, preview the apex headed into the corner I was hooked.
Went from a G20 Logitech I'd had since 2008, upgraded to Thrust Master components in 2019. Not as elaborate as some I've seen here, Nice Stuff, but it works.

Here's my rig I just built. Found out my 10 year old daughter is quite the driver, so she's been getting a lot more seat time than me lol. She was hitting 1:53 lap times at Laguna Seca on Assetto Corsa in the mx5 miata by her second day and that was just with me giving her advice on driving lines and brake reference points.

I'll spend an afternoon sometimes in iRacing, but with a break or two. I may work on a setup for an hour and a half, and then want to change the track or maybe even change cars. At this point I need to relaunch iRacing using Sim Commander 4 for the ButtKicker or it doesn't respond. Sometimes I'll leave the ButtKicker off and I can be in easily 2.5 hours. The only time my eyes start to get tired is when the generated weather is dreary and overcast. BTW.. Very Nice equipment!

To answer your question, I really enjoyed VR, but I found myself doing more and more endurance racing and thats where I found it to be a bit of a drawback...I was fine doing 2 hour stints with them (then letting other drivers drive, which gave my eyes a break), aside from the heat and sweat, but anything longer became an issue...I did a 2-man 12 hour Sebring event in a GTE and took the first 4 stints in VR (4 hours + quali)...when I got out of it and ran to the washroom (4 hours is a long time, lol) and saw myself in the mirror, it was frighting...my eyes were blood shot and extremely fatigued...I was done at that point and decided to invest in triples VR is awesome, and I think if you grow your VR "legs", you can safely run 2 hour stints...anything more and I'd say it's not ideal if you care about your eye health...and I am no doctor, just seeing what I saw in the mirror that day was scary |

Quest 2 is really all you need with the current crop of headsets if you plan on only using it in the rig.
I have it hard wired to the PC but there is a wireless update I havent tried yet. There's a new version about to be released that doubles the base storage (which you dont need anyway for PC) and its the same cost as the lower storage option which is being phased out.

Besides the Rift-S I do have the Original Quest. I would think the wired would be Fine but can't imagine the what the Lag would be like using the Quest wireless. I tried Bluetooth headphones in VR once and it was really really slow lagging behind the video by a good 8-10 seconds. The only other thing I'd like to figure out is how to set a Fan up to the Accelerator so when using VR in the Open Wheel cars you get a bit deeper immersion.

great... I stumble into the photography subforum and buy a camera and a few lenses. Now i find this forum lol. Had a fanatec wheel, shifter, and pedals hooked up to a laptop stand 10 years ago. Ended up breaking due to the torque and flimsiness of the thing. But now.. wow these setups are legit.
Loved mine while it worked. after spending an hour or so racing... i felt no need to take my own gtr out and speed around like a lunatic.

no complaints for the price, I ran one for a few month before I got the 49er and bought 2 more for the rig to match the 3.
It is a bright display with real nice vivid colors (better than the 49er by far) but it has glare...it's always being detected @ 144hz...some people from the reviews had issues with it flickering...I've noticed it once or twice, but not something that happens frequently, or even occasionally. would recommend it |
