great review as always, but that beeping sound in the music drove me nuts

What a beautiful sim rig, absolutely love it, have a fantastic day.

[@MattsPaddock]

Awesome review, it was really calming watching it! Tranquility achieved! 😁

I've been known to put people to sleep! ;)

[@FGalletta21]

As a bass player I'm unsure how I feel about this review... Great to see some serious competition for the P1X!

[@scottdecker8612]

I purchased and built my PSR-1 kitted identically to yours about 1 month ago. Agree 100% with your assessment across the board. It’s great, sturdy, solid, and well formed. I also added tactile transducers on all four corners and they have no trouble moving the rig. Thanks for the review! 👍

[@lvnna]

love watching your videos! They're super high quality and well made, keep up the great work. The rig is looking really nice as well, congrats! Looking forward to more videos on it :)

[@chills996]

Great review and good on you for mentioning the use of recyclable materials & packaging. Thanx.

[@jamiseclipse]

Love the sim rig and always love any of your content. Best voice on KZbin for sure.

[@gdoumit]

This rig is so clean. This is pretty much exactly what I want my rig to look like as it eventually evolves. It's pricey, but it looks totally worth it.

[@imJGott]

11:41 I really liked how you moved the camera during this section. It felt like it was a direct point A to point B camera shot.

[@gabrushah6485]

Love your videos just looking forward to your review on acc update 1.6 dlc ❤️

[@ChrisHaye]

Thanks dude. Yeah, looking forward to it - hopefully more details soon :)

Wow! The camera work is so impressive 😍🔥

[@Frankestein01nl]

Nice review Chris! I should be getting the obutto Revolution later this month... that computer stand wouldhave been nice ;) Oh well, so far i've not been very capable in cable management anyways. Have a great day and thanks for the review. Lovely rig!

I love your vids and very knowledgeable.👍

[@ChrisHaye]

I appreciate that! Thanks. :)

[@mikeroerig2499]

I bought a heavy duty, quad monitor PSR1 with SR2 motion for my first sim rig due to your review. You can improve ease of entry or exit with a simple change. There are two 40x40 profiles that the seat slider is mounted to. Instead of installing them front to back, install them side to side. It gives you more room to get your feet in or out of the rig. I installed the pedal deck upside down which makes it much easier to adjust position of the pedal deck. I ordered the PSR1 bundle3 and I think it was a good choice. US Customs called me to ask what the ProSim mat was made of. The best answer is "It's a rubber mat. That will make US customs happy. Just don't say plastic. I bought the PSR1 in silver, not black. Silver doesn't show the scratches like black does. Black looks better now but I can see it will show scratches later.

[@thea5440]

Congrats on the new rig! What a beauty!!

[@Unknown-yu3ms]

Great content and insight as always! When it's time to go DD and move on from my diy wooden rig I will keep Pro Sim Rig in mind. Cheers

[@Livingas0025]

How this rig compares to the p1x from simlab?

[@marcusmiller5101]

Fantastic review! You do some wonderful work! You may have sold me on that one, when I can afford it. BTW, Steve Harris forgives you. And regarding the bass straps...his are custom made by his bass tech and that tech's mom (the aesthetic part).

[@irfanemajdouline7626]

Hello👋😁 I love your videos mate you deserve more subscribers to be honest

[@ChrisHaye]

Thanks dude. Much appreciated! Things are progressing well at the moment :)

[@XBBBBBXx]

what a great video. also great camara pans, i loved those!

[@angryginger791]

I'm a little confused as to why you'd run Fanatec V3 pedals when you have what I think are a set of HE's on the shelf?

[@ChrisHaye]

Good spot, I've got some HE Sprints, and a set of other pedals that I'm under NDA about at the moment as well. I tend to swap gear around depending on what I'm doing, the key thing about the V3s is that they work on the PS4, which the others don't. Eventually, I'll get a second rig set up for the console stuff.

[@angryginger791]

@@ChrisHaye Ah, that makes sense. Nothing against the V3's, but I've never heard of anyone preferring them over the Sprints, so I had to ask. I'm interested to see what you have under wraps too. I got lucky and stumbled on a killer deal on a set of HPP PRX-SE's over a year ago. I'm really not worthy of them, but I'll never give them up. Haha! Cheers!

[@gabriell04032]

@@angryginger791 How much did you get them for?

[@angryginger791]

@@gabriell04032 I got them in a package deal from a guy that was parting out his rig. I got a Simucube SC1 (20Nm) wheelbase, a Sam Maxwell Customs rim, and the PRX-SE pedals for $2k. That was pre-pandemic.

[@andrewberg3148]

Great vid Chris. I am on year 3 of my GT Omega and well, it’s dead. I’m in the market for a new one and we’ll, I might have just found my next setup. Cool shots by the way, I liked the floating cam. Nicely done. Andy - THR Flipmode

Interested to know why your choice of monitor and why you choose to use the view showing the hands and wheel. Great video 💪

Maybe he was recording for a video since is off putting for viewers to see nothing turning. But yeah I always run the ghost hands and wheels 👻

[@mattwiddowson4063]

@@hMint when I record for a video I just record the replay and switch to that view haha

[@ChrisHaye]

Yeah as the Ice-cream dude suggested, I've had it on for video making for so long now that it just feels normal.

[@ChrisHaye]

Also, single monitor is for video as well. 4K single offers a lot more flexibility for video making than triples, or ultrawides. Which is a shame really, as I miss my triples!

[@Adam_mcnamara]

Amazing rig wish I had one :)

Hoo boy, amazing setup...if i ever win the lottery, hahaha.

[@user-mr4os2tl9f]

such an amazing setup

[@mirusvet]

4:29 The delay between you turning the steering wheel and that being displayed on the monitor - is that normal? o.O;;

[@barryconvex416]

It seems like there's a decent of lag on a lot of these videos between the physical wheel movement and what you see on screen. Does that ever become a problem?

[@DMAX_DIY]

Chris, Love the review. I just dont understand why the rig builders stop with a 'stable' platform. Isn't the whole idea to make it realistic? Ergo a motion rig? I just started in the hobby and built my own 3 dof platform. (posted several videos to date).. WHY would anyone want to sit in a motionless rig (without VR) and pretend they are 'racing' when they are "Missing out' on the most fantastic sim experience they could be getting? Take a look.. my rig might look like BS to you but I have a friggin Blast driving it every chance I get. I couldn't get it with 3 screens.. Your Channel is AWESOME! Thanks so much for taking the time to post your content! DMAX

[@KaiAsk]

Thanks Chris! Any squeaking in the rig?

[@scubajan2266]

Why dont you have a triple Screen Setup?? By the way love your videos, keep it up :D

[@shanethompson6882]

Outside of the mounting on the uprights and the pedal stand being a little bit different, I would have said this is a P1-X from Simlab (I know because I just built the P1-X sitting next to me in my office). I guess the follow up question is, why one over the other? It seems they're so similar that it's probably just down to cost and ease of access.

[@lordreavers]

I had my heart dead set on the p1x but now that i know about this rig its a hard decision. The price is just so much more desirable. Hopefully barry makes a review as well

[@shanethompson6882]

@@lordreavers for what it's worth, the P1X is amazing and their support was great. I accidentally forgot one thing when I ordered it and was able to contact them and they added it into my shipment before I had actually paid for it since my shipment was just going out. It also got to me here in America in 3 days which is impressive.

[@lordreavers]

@@shanethompson6882 I checked out shipping costs and turns out the psr1 comes out tot the same price as the p1x all said and done so I’ll probably get a p1x lol

[@shanethompson6882]

@@lordreavers By the looks of it, you probably can't go wrong either way. For the same price, I'd probably go SimLab just because they have a pretty established reputation at this point.

[@handguideline]

Will we ever get a compilation of all of your intros

[@ChrisHaye]

Haha - I think that might be one of those ideas that sounds better on paper than it is in reality. Maybe I could do something for a big milestone on the channel though - interesting idea :)

[@mattgoat4873]

nice review but is there any info on the psr3? thats the one im thinking of getting as an entry level cockpit, either that or the gt evo 1 from simlabs

Hey Chris. Just curious on the type and brand of seat.. I believe it’s sparco, but type? . searching for one as we speak, and figure to ask someone who uses theirs daily.

[@RacingRef]

Chris, what's the difference between this and the Trak Racer TR160?? Looking to go DD and get a good solid rig and unsure which. Love your review and leaning towards the PSR1 it will be paired with a Fanatec DD1 podium setup

[@mrb552]

Probably all the nuts and bolts not shipped with the trakracer product are actually included here. 😂

[@RacingRef]

Is yours the standard seat height as looking into the possible 2 options to lower it?

This kind of stuff is super cool wish I could have it unforntually still stuck in the controller pleb category.

[@virdog]

BEEP Awesome video! I too bought a GT1 EVO and have since modified it quite a bit in the last year-ish. So much so I should have just bought a P1-X or similar. Better yet, from Advanced Sim Racing which is very close by (Canadian here) as opposed to Sim-Lab. At this point all these extrusion rigs are 90% copies of each other anyways. BEEP

[@ChrisHaye]

Yeah, that's a very fair comment. Funny you should mention the EVO upgrades, as that's a video I've been thinking about making for a while now :)

[@gnipedenopol2507]

Hi sir can you help me? I have a question, I have a ps5 if I will buy CSL elite pedals V3, Gran-Turismo DDpro wheelbase, CSL Elite Steering wheel MCLAREN GT3 V2, Handbrake V1.5, Shifter V1.5, and QR1 Lite Wheel side, are these compatible w/ my ps5?thankyou

[@sevenbelow7]

Hi Chris,just wondering about the red wheels on this rig. Did they come with a M8 bolt fitting? Thanks buddy.

[@ivankruk9161]

Great review! I'm considering buying either this PSR1 or P1-X, but I really wonder how I could mount my Fanatec shifter on the PSR1. I see a side mount accessory available on their website, but I don't see any shifter mount plate there. Any ideas?

[@itzanopinion]

Don't really see a difference between this and the P1X from Sim-Lab...Guess I need to take a closer look! :-)

[@nGAGE0nline]

Very nice. Only thing that bugged me is the size of your monitor. It somehow feels disproportionate to the "cockpit experience". I'm assuming it's 32". It would probably be perfectly fine in a 3-screen setup, but looks like there's viewable area missing in a single-screen setup . But that's just nit-picking with a hint of jelousy :D

[@joei4ever]

value of whole thing? Without PC and monitors.

[@Speckle72]

Hi Chris, quick question - what bracket are you using to mount your button box onto the podium mount? It looks nice and chunky, just the kind of thing I'm after. Thanks

[@maxupp]

I gotta ask, why does your virtual wheel have so big of a latency to your rim? It looks extremely noticeable.

[@kolysion164]

monitor, monitor....

[@McCalvarosie28]

what size are the profiles of the base?

[@ploppyjr2373]

“Nerdy simracer type” I ain’t a nerd. I just wanna drive a car fast

[@SewerShark]

My main consideration when I start building my rig (which will take some time to start) is that I'm not just into racing but also into flying, and I need to find a good pedal solution for both car and rudder pedals. Mounting and unmounting is not a pleasant solution.

[@SewerShark]

@Jamie Mels I like driving with a clutch. Also, while yes, you may use your racing pedals as rudder pedals, it's not the best experience

[@SewerShark]

@Jamie Mels it's a G29 with TrueBrake mod. The thing is on an airplane, you can't step on both pedals at the same time.

[@MizenDaCat]

Whats up with the aspect ratio of video? I'm watching on a 21:9 monitor, and i have blackbars both vertically and horizontally

[@AndySpicer]

Dude, what’s with the beeps? I’m trying to get through this but may not make it if the beeps continue.

I have the same seat omg so uncomfortable but lovely setup

[@tech-eddy]

Only the Seat is really low end. R100 is not from Motorsports, have no FIA Cert and also no certification for Roadcars in Germany. I'm planing also to build my own rig and this seat looks good for flexible use, but it have also very bad reviews... so i'm looking for a wider bucketseat

[@itzanopinion]

I'm calling it now...the pedals he's got under NDA are probably the *Hydraulic Sim Pedals From OBJ* ~ because if you pause the video at 8:14...from what is shown, they look just like these here: simtechracing.co.uk/shop/pedal-sets/hydraulic-sim-pedals/ or here: bjsimracing.com/index.php?id_product=47&controller=product&id_lang=2 EDIT: I see they're also sold on other various websites, like SymDeck.com

[@wibblewabblewoo6249]

[@OhItsThat]

@@ruffrider6653 I think I’m gonna give it till the end of the week then start hitting him with emails. On the site it says 4-10 weeks and even times are just estimates. I ordered a Pro Sim H Pattern shifter back in July. It took about two months to get the shifter. They ran into serious issues as they couldn’t build it out of the same materials as they had in the past. Since all the foundries were closed in the UK they had to come up with a new plan. That new plan was to mill the main body of the shifter out of a block of aluminum. All that and they still found time to send out update emails. Just letting us know our $1600 was secure and they were working really hard on our orders. HPP is just crickets
