GEAR OVERVIEW (TOUR) AND SCOPE OF CONTENT

Your boy Kevin, AKA Sense of Speed, AKA The Doctor to a friend shares his immersive build and waxes poetic about what is to come with his new KZbin channel. Check it out. it's the bee's knees.

[@chepilevski]

Absolutely amazing work 😮 Thank you for sharing your detailed project Kevin ! We need more people like you in the community 🤗

[@sense-of-speed]

Doing my best, man. Thank you.

[@sylvanovitch1969]

Effectively. I think you two made and inspired a lot of sim racers including myself. Very nice job.

[@MrUpgrade.SimRacing]

Awesome video, narrative, filming, sound and of course, an absolutely impressive cockpit. Well done Kevin!!!

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you, good, sir. More to come!

[@kellymerrellfilms]

Your rig and this channel are both works of art. Love the vibe of your voiceover+music and obviously the eye candy that is the rig you are building/evolving. Keep up the great work!

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on, man. Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot!

[@egolgeli]

well, amazing video. downloading the mood from you :D

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you very much.

[@dna0814]

Well done video Kevin. I love your rig just absolutely amazing.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks, brother. Appreciate it.

[@79ramo]

I have seen and searched for many sim rigs, but since I saw yours, I fell in love 😁😁 After more than a year of thinking about whether to get a triple monitor, after seeing your videos, I decided to try to create something similar.. Thank you for all the inspiration you have given me. Wonderful work ❤❤💪💪

[@sense-of-speed]

Awesome. I'm glad to inspire and good luck on your rig!

[@amateurgtdriver]

Got here from your post on GTPlanet forum. What an incredible machine! Awesome dude! You got yourself a sub.

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on. Thanks for the kind words, and sub. More fun stuff soon.

[@maximodiazrivera5667]

Actually you inspired Me Doc, thanks for all your support!!!!

[@sense-of-speed]

I got the cure for your blindness, man!

[@maximodiazrivera5667]

Hell Yeaaaaa Doctor!!! 🤝🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@boostedmedia]

Just discovered this channel from your recent FOV video. Absolutely epic!

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks,, brother. Respect.

[@bobsimpson5886]

Awesome rig, it’s certainly an inspiring set up. I like your solution for getting enough tilt in your seat. I’m still experimenting with my seat position as well as the base cushion to get a more comfortable set up for myself.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you. I've been working on mine for well over a year and still find myself making small adjustments. It almost never ends. Lol

[@imJGott]

this is video is just badass! keeping this in a playlist to take notes to improve my immersion as well.

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on, man. Thank you. I'm just getting started. Plenty more coming.

[@mako4874]

Amazing work. Your creativity and Resourcefulness really separate your rig from others. You and race beyond matter are the pinnacle . Guys spend 100 K on a rig for immersion, sure that’s cool but what you’ve done is truly magical and pure creation .

[@sense-of-speed]

High praise, good sir. Thank you very much. I really appreciate that you see my work that way.

[@thedirtyairf1podcast76]

I’m inspired 💯🙌🏁

[@sense-of-speed]

Good stuff, man. Thanks for visiting.

[@JeanBenoitLesage]

Love this channel already. Perfect narration, editing, not to mention the fantastic rig! Can't wait for more videos!

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you. I really appreciate that, Jean. I put a whole bunch of effort into trying to make something decent. I'm glad it shows well.

[@JeanBenoitLesage]

@@sense-of-speed the effort really shows! 😎

[@Arturcik666]

Good day Sir! Can you maybe make a video about your monitors, why you bought them/placement etc.

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks for the question. I'll be doing a video on placement and fov pretty soon, and will cover placement. In the meantime, the monitors are Aoc 32" 165hz. I chose them based on specs and budget.

[@skinb088]

Well done bud. Definitely loving the video content. And the image of how to keep a rig designed around still being a race car is awesome. Something that is hard to explain but you nailed it

[@sense-of-speed]

Rock on, man. Thank you. Glad to hear you're picking up what I'm putting down.

[@Simlife101]

@Sense Of Speed amazing work bro. Race Beyond Matter is a friend and mentioned you a few times. Super happy too find your channel and see your passion which I also have. I have a couple of questions. Firstly how did you attach your racelogic too sit in front of your left bezel free kit? And secondly what is your eye distance from centre screen? And lastly What size PVC tubes did you use for the side door panel/roll cage? Look forward to seeing more from your channel and wish you all the best. 🙏🍻

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks, buddy. For the racelogic, I used a small 90-degree bracket from the hardware store. It's mounted with a single bolt to a profile piece attached to my wheelbase upright that allows me to give it a bit of an angle to match the monitor. The same bracket is used for the lumirank clone as well. I sit right about 68 cm to eliminate eyestrain and feel a little more natural. The pvc, I believe, is 1.24 ID, which makes it 1.625 OD. Pretty much the standard size for steel cage tubing.

[@mako4874]

Keep making content man as long as you’re consistent with releasing content you will get amazing support I guarantee it

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you. That's the plan. I have a bunch of ideas to work with and I'm happy with how it is going. Thanks for watching.

[@ross-carlson]

Great rig and fun video - though I was hoping for a lot more detail about the various hardware you're using (since its a tour and all!) - do you have that on the channel and I just missed it?

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you. I know it's a little vague, sorry. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away!

[@Mr_Latte_UK]

Well made video and excellent work on this project done to a high quality. So nice going and rather impressive... Does seem like a lot to incorporate within the build/design to have an option to be able to physically change sides/doors etc for L/R cars. Really though as a serious question, does VR not just offer a better job of providing that with other benefits VR has and modelling cars to scale without all the hassle? I think its cool to build a rig to suit specific type or model of car if the user intends to drive in a sim with that or is creating a sim of a car they race. Yet for those seeking entertainment with racing games, it also seems flawed thinking putting all that effort/money in, towards interior styling... Surely, when you then drive very different cars (open wheeler/rally/sports car/hyper cars, or want to play with different views/perspectives in different titles, it then all seems a bit odd/out of place or to some extent kinda pointless? I would expect more pleasure or immersion would be possible with motion, belt tensioner and advanced tactile added to the build than so much put towards the physical surroundings? Although it seems a trend for KZbinrs to want to make mock up cockpits for content they release. Do look forward to more of your videos/content Kevin and if youd like to respond to these queries/thoughts...

[@sense-of-speed]

Thank you for the kind words. I understand your logic in regards to VR, but it's not really an option for me. I spend so much time in it as well as driving comfort would drastically suffer, hence outfitting it the way I have. i understand the immersion level of VR but I do quite enjoy the visual haptics of having the chassis finished to resemble a car. It really does create a nice vibe. It has been difficult to plan all of the pieces but it hasn't turned out bad and I agree. It would be easier to build to a specific car. While leaving things a bit ambiguous the set up in this video works with just about any gt3 or passenger type car by simply removing the cages. Personally I gravitate more towards prototype cars and have made some changes to suit the effect with success. I also spend most of my time in Iracing and only use cockpit views in other sims if I do play them. In the end I don't mind the work, planning, and money spent. For me it creates a nice physical environment I enjoy and feel it is a worthy investment on how I approach the hobby. A belt tensioner and transducers are in the future and can be added with ease. Adding motion could be possible but I doubt I will do it. I often questioned why I was building all of this because I was so drawn to adding a real car feel. For this project I am simply trying to create something I can no longer do. I really miss building racecars, driving, and just the feel of them. This little project has scratched the itch and I would still be doing i even if others weren't doing it.

[@nickstim]

Absolutely amazing work... Well done Which screen are you using?

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks, Nick. I use 32" Aoc 165hz screens.

[@soca268]

#Netflix_series! #Binge-worthy

[@sense-of-speed]

Lol. Serious thanks, man. I'm glad you are digging my stuff. Plenty more to come.

[@Dani_Jari]

😍😎

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks, Dani!

[@alphapoutine6336]

Hey Kevin! Are you using only one bar or two bars in your softbox? And the bars, i presume its Philips Hue? Thanks!

[@sense-of-speed]

Hey buddy. I have 3 100w e26 hue bulbs in the box and 3 play bars outside for a total of 6 bulbs.

[@jufejufinho]

O came here because of RBM, i cant believe how umderrated you are. I just watched all your videos and I will keep watching every new one. Trully amazing job! What monitors are you running? Are they 32s?

[@sense-of-speed]

Thanks for the kind words and stopping by. Yes. I use 32 inch curved monitors.

[@jufejufinho]

@@sense-of-speed keep going, make more content, even if its just driving, it is a joy to watch your rig and your skill. It doesnt have to be very elaborate, we will watch. You deserve more views and subs, keep them coming and sooner than later more people will join

[@sense-of-speed]

@@jufejufinho Will do, buddy. I have lots of stuff planned including racing pov.
