Curious about Rig Immersion? Check this out. I Got You.

Your boy Kevin, AKA Sense of Speed, AKA Whisker Biscuit, lays out what it takes to build an immersive rig his way.
Covering the why and how of his latest setup, he spreads immersion like cream cheese on a bagel of aluminum profile pieces. Just enough, but not too much.
Please enjoy. Preferably with coffee.

I just finished building my first rig. If I continue down this road (pun intended), I will certainly get the triple monitor setup and reconfigure my rig to something much like this. Looks great, thanks for sharing with us.

[@sense-of-speed]

Glad to inspire, and thanks for watching.

[@lapougne701]

Best rig ever seen so far. Absolutely live the opening door system, simple and immersive.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you very much!

[@petralustig7479]

Signed :D

[@TheSytak]

It is very inspiring, as I am building my first real rig right now. The DIY never stops and I am very glad to have machine tools available at work and a 3D modeling tool, it helps immensely. Really loving the effort you put into your sim! :)

[@AndrewWilson1991]

One month ago I built my first dedicated cockpit. It's just some simple 2x4 and the passenger seat out of my car (shut up I'm broke), but the addiction is real. Now I'm thinking of doing something similar if I ever decide to go triple screens. Your work looks rad as hell, and is a great detailed look at how one would construct this on their own. It's kind of outrageous how expensive some of the pre-mades are, so I've opted that if I ever need a new cockpit, I'm just building it. I'll porbably just frankenstein this one until it gets out of control, lol.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you! It is an addiction for sure. Good luck with your Frankenstein. Nothing wrong with that as long as you are happy.

[@Lue_Kang]

Such a creative build and inspirational. Thanks for sharing Kevin!

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on. Thank you very much!

[@kitmilo]

simply brilliant

[@Macmaiien]

Some of your best work!!!!! loved it

[@sense-of-speed]

Wow. High praise, man. Thank you!

[@speedvr829]

Very, very nice build. Looks fantastic.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you very much, and thanks for watching.

[@BlazedGarage_Inc]

Noo... Thank you Kevin !! In my book, my time watching your video was well spent, appreciate the effort you have taken to give a rundown of your rig mate. Very well done, even if it was a second take at making it all fit food for thought

[@sense-of-speed]

Awesome, man. Thank you very much for visiting my stuff. I'm glad you dig it.

[@onielslowley]

Great video Kevin, the editing was spot on.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Waaaay too much time toiling over every cut was spent. Lol

[@GUN69_]

ended up here accidentally as KZbin recommended me your channel...and oh boy - I am staying here for longer! Awesome rig you made and great voice. Will wait for some next videos.

[@sense-of-speed]

Simply awesome. Thank you, and I'm glad you're sticking around, good sir.

[@RobbieLancelot]

Great editing and you gave me some fresh ideas for the rig, you’ve got a new sub.

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on, man. Thanks for the compliments and the sub. I greatly appreciate it.

[@pwi-studio]

very nice setup - really like it 🙂

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on, man. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much! Glad you dig it.

[@soca268]

This is art! A hobby within the hobby! 👌🏾

[@sense-of-speed]

I look at it the same way!

[@glenndjenkins]

I will build a sim racing rig in about three weeks, this gives me many ideas! Thank you Kevin.

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on. I'm glad to inspire and thank you for checking it out.

[@imanny99]

I feel like I'm listening to an audiobook. Great video and great setup!

[@sense-of-speed]

Ha! Awesome. I'm glad you dug it. Thank you.

really enjoying this videos bro!

Glad to hear, buddy. That's why I make them!

great video kevin mate!

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you very much!

[@DEFBOY35]

Insane set up!!! Slowly working on building mine up. Started with some 1/8” hardboard wrapped in cf vinyl with some 3D printed brackets to fill in below the monitors. Want to do a new console and floor board to mount the electronics as well.

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on, man. Thanks. We need more finished cockpits!

[@simracingden]

Impressive! 🙌🏻

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you very much.

[@bmwM3M5M6]

I need to hire you so you can build this for me 😮 crazy rig man ! 🏁👍

[@sense-of-speed]

lol. Thanks, man.

[@Simuhito]

Awesome 😍😍😍😍😍

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you very much!

[@Rungunseattacos]

Awesome set up man! Probably the best full immersion cockpit I’ve seen. Watching the GT3 Road America race yesterday I saw that pump thing on the floorboard in one of the cars and I thought, oh, I wonder if I could build something like that to add to my floorboard and then I come across this! What are the odds we could get a parts list for that build? I’ve got the black cable management box, braided clear tubing and the PSI gauge so far.

[@sense-of-speed]

Hey, man. Thank you. You're almost there. I had spare hose laying around except the blue house and some 90-degree plastic fittings I picked up from the hardware store. I think the blue hose is 1.5 inch dia. The red knob was taken of a broken regulator I also had laying around.

[@Rungunseattacos]

@@sense-of-speed awesome man! I actually had some spare pool hose as well. Gonna use 2 sections of that. I believe that’s what you’re running there as well huh? Anyway, great work man. I’m thinking my next addition needs to be the driver side door.

[@sense-of-speed]

@Rungunseattacos lol. Good eye. Yes, it is. I may get something different when money allows, but for now, it works. The door was by far one of the best pieces I added. It really makes a difference.

[@ross-carlson]

Impressive build - though I really wish you'd had far more light in the video so we could actually see the great work you've put in.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you. The next two build videos should be better. I'm still a rookie at this whole video thing. Lol

[@TEHWOX.]

thanks for the brilliant tips! I'm also in the process of converting my RIG into a cockpit! can you tell me what dimensions the fire extinguisher in the passenger footwell has and how many kilograms it weighs? what dimensions does the box in the passenger footwell have (minute 0:40)

[@arthurtheking86]

hi man. congrats for the channel, my favourite one now. i need ur help, can you send or show pictures of how you close the pedals site? and how you place yhe console on a aluminium frame? you inspire me so a can modify mine just to be more like yours. thanks a lot and keep up pls

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks, buddy. Are you on Instagram?

Hi great build glad to see your back. I can't for the life of me get crew chief to workwith my stream deck just trying to assign a button to start it up any idea hiw I can get a icon on my desktop can only get it to my task bar

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks. It created a shortcut on my desktop on install. For the stream deck, I think I just used a launch button. You should be able to apps in settings and create a shortcut.

[@mercenarysaw]

Can you make the same video with the brightness turned up please. Thanks👍🏻

[@sense-of-speed]

Hey. That's a bit difficult considering how it was shot. Was there something in particular you are looking at?

[@mercenarysaw]

@@sense-of-speed in a bit of an immersion Rabbit Hole trying to get new ideas and ways of attaching props panels or even a fire extinguisher to basically nothing. Problem is I have a full-motion rig with a quad monitor setup so I'm not sure how I can do this without everything shaking off. Awsome rig BTW 🏁👀

[@sense-of-speed]

@mercenarysaw OH, man. Adding motion to the mix proves difficult! A lot of my methods might not work for you. I would suggest using as much profile as you can and attach panels with bolts. Lightweight would be good, too.

[@StevenFurio]

Awesome build man, seriously the dream! What monitors do you use?

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks, man. AOC 32" 165hz. They are also flipped upside down.

[@alfrood9293]

Im gonna make something like this when i get my new gear but i only got a single screen tv So i hope it will work good i guess but im also planning to get 3 monitor setup in the future so im thinking i could make the cockpit when i get 3 monitors

[@sense-of-speed]

You may be able to come with something for the single monitor but yes, it is a little more convincing with triples. Either way. Good luck with it!

[@oscar_sme]

Very nice setup, Where can I buy raw alcantara online? I can't find it anywhere, thanks

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you. I'm not sure. I get mine at a local fabric store. Maybe Amazon?

[@travisbartlett1977]

wow. I've been looking at a build. Just not 100% sure on what car I want to go after.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks, bud. It takes some thought to try to make a bit more universal.

[@tobias2252]

More!

[@sense-of-speed]

Lol. Thanks. More coming soon. Hopefully, I didn't blow my load on this one.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks, man.

[@gabrielburkes428]

Kevin quick question for yeah. What is the adhesive Alcantara that you use brand name. Thank you.

[@sense-of-speed]

Hey, man. It's 3M but rebranded under "Azobur" on Amazon. I buy the 9.5 inch by 40" roll. If I link it KZbin will delete the reply. It's also sold as 'velvet repair patch" but it's really close to short nap suede. The cheaper type I've tried is more like velvet and the adhesive is horrible.

[@gabrielburkes428]

@@sense-of-speed sweet thank you.

[@sense-of-speed]

@@gabrielburkes428 you're welcome

[@P3ktoRis]

how is the heat inside it? Does the heat stay inside because of the canopy?

[@sense-of-speed]

it's not too bad actually. If the outside temp is above 75 it gets warm after a few hours but running a small fan on low is comfortable. I have yet to install ducted fans under the dash and an exhaust fan. once i finish all of the Prototype parts I'll work on those and run them from Simhub so I can switch on the fly.

[@P3ktoRis]

@@sense-of-speed for me it made a big change when i moved my pc behind the monitor. but still too hot... in summer i have to have a towel on the seat and im only in my underwear. after an hour or so im soaking wet. i dont think a canopy would be ideal for me :D

[@sense-of-speed]

@P3ktoRis Damn. If my room got that hot, I would be saving up to add a separate air conditioner just for the room.

[@trevorbelmont4633]
