Wowzer! Absolutely love that set up. What's it cost as is?

try VR

I don’t know if you already have one of these but I 100% recommended buying it. It’s called a buttkiker, it vibrates the seat so that you can feel the engine and stuff. You should get it

You’re inspiring. Glad you’re chasing your dream, we can all learn something from you. I know I am, I’m looking to get into sim. I have G29 wheel and pedals for PS5 - mods / gaming PC next.

17:10 I thought the main camera was the game and not his camera on his head I just noticed that wow 17:10

I already have a gaming PC Some people say get another lower tier one for iracing. Should I or nah?

Now add VR and a bass shaker under your arse!

Simple, yet powerfull 'Stop making excuses and try to do the thing you've always wanted to do'. Your's is to be a rally driver, mine is a motorsport engineer. Ive reached the point of becoming an assistant professor in mechanical engineering, specialized in vehicle dynamics, and particularly suspensions, but always told me excuses that I cant do that. Now I think I can. Reach me out if I can help you with your car.

This video is so emotional. Watching his first run in his new sim after stopping at the beginning overloaded with how realistic it felt to him was incredible to watch. This inspires me to really race.

Can you give us the measurements that you took from your real car? It would help a lot with my build

You should consider buying a VR headset. I got a quest 2 for $150 cdn on marketplace. Makes racing sims a whole other experience

Hey Ryan, I basically copied your Logitech setup and it’s been fantastic so far. Good to see you get deeper into things!

Richard rally burns best emulator 💯🔥

I’m pumped to see what you got with vex this weekend!!! And I’m pump to keep on seeing your progress makes me want to give this a shot!!

you should play richard burns rally

When the sim costs more than his actual rally car 😂. In all seriousness, this is a bit intimidating for a new sim racer. I don’t know if I’d ever be ready to commit to a high end rig. In terms of cost and commitment…

LOL - where is the VR - thats next level matrix

First of all I think that you should try Iracing. Sweet rig by the way I just got my first Aluminum rig. Also you should get buttkickers, maybe just start with one or you could go full blown 4 corners kit. But they add so much immersion ands way cheaper than motion.

This is awesome! Getting a GC is perfect. Wish you all the luck in the world for your rally journey!

What type/size monitors you use ?

Never watched you ryan, meaning i dont know your experience wether you have raced in real life. However I started in sim racing for circuit racing and i am now karting and winning club races with the best of the best who win nationals. I believe you should not only do sim racing but real life racing for it builds your race craft more than most games. ( I say most because i believe iracing is quite good for race craft since you race against actual people.) edit: when i say race i mean in club.

What was the total price of the whole setup? If a consumer bought off the shelf

Mint set up and just an absolute dream of a rig. So glad i found this channel.. Very much looking forward to seeing more of this content!

Great Content! Really enjoying the series. If you want to really blow your mind you should try it in VR. I play dirt 2 in vr and its Amazing.

Whats the benefit of this over vr

I think the main concern about starting with RWD is probably gaining the maximum comfort with a car that is constantly sliding on a surface with low mu.

I love this guy's videos

People are happy with lower spec thrustmaster setups UNTIL they try a highend setup like this and realise the fidelity and feeling every tiny bit of feedback through a 23nm base. You will continue to love the Alpha Ultimate base, I know I love my two.

hey, this guy should start a mtb channel and call it the Loam Ranger or something

you should try playing beamng Drive or Assetto corsa

You practiced properly on the G29 if you could just automatically adjust like this. Im 100% convinced that if you truly practice the correct way on a lower end wheel, youll be so much more "at home" when you get a really high end wheel. I got my g29 a year ago, and then the t300 3 months after. All i ever did was trying to learn proper racing technique. In doing so, the t300 felt like a super high end wheel, when i first upgraded. Then i kept practicing on that, until i came to the point where i felt that i was outperforming my wheel. So two days ago, my Simagic Alpha arrived, and everything just felt RIGHT, despite everyone saying it takes a while to adjust. The added bonus - i went from enjoying the concept of improving, to just straight up enjoying driving a car around a track. I was really missing that.

I have a few video's on my channel if you wish to see a 3dof motion rig in action on DR 2.0 and others, the problem with motion is once you've tried it, if you have a rig and it doesn't have motion, it feels lifeless and vague, motion does change the game, coupled with VR and wind simulator's etc you do feel you're in the matrix lol....

Motion is fun and cool, but haptic feed back via transducers (bass shakers) is better. I'd recommend sim racing studio with some haptic shakers to really give you the immersion you are looking for.

This channel is awesome! I love watching your videos on your journey to being an actual rally racer.

As a person who did AsettoCorsa and iRacing etc. and then went to a real track event in a couple of cars ... I agree with this video, driving real cars is easier in many ways, especially the "bum" feeling, you can slide by feel, you feel the grip at the front, the back, in general you get 3x more information about what is going on in a real car. The rest is pretty 1 to 1 if you have half decent setup at home. I was running higher tier fanatec in VR at that point, but that was years ago so things definitely changed.

I'm high on your second-hand glee. Huge congrats on the rig.

That first few seconds of the video got me hooked. You've got to seriously make a short film with that editing style PLEASE

Rally driver is the phrase bud

For me Simagic is overrated hardware, specially pedals and shifter.

really interesting

You should check the winnipeg marketplace, there's a ford fiesta rally

Great work with your channel. It's nice to see you pushing yourself to do a big project like this while still being true to your family. Never lose that charm.

need a update video

the rig i only can dream of :D

Love your setup :)

Try your new rig on BeamNG Drive you have so much fun.....

*_Just lacks 3DOF..._*

Welcome to sim racing Ryan. I had quite a similar road than you apparently. Full on MTBer travelling the world in my camper and now additionally totally hooked to sim racing. Im using VR which i cant recomment enough i have haptic feedback in my seat direct drive wheel and as you said its just such an incredible experience. Im driving GT7 no Rallye though. But i managed allready to drive against the best in the world 🔥 its kinda crazy... subscribe if you want to follow along as well ❤️

I've been waiting for this video since the very first sim racing/rally video dropped and boy am I excited to watch it... this calls for ice cream and popcorn
