I recently had the privilege of heading over to Bristol-based ‪@dynisma9516‬, where I was strapped in to the firm's $2.5 MILLION range-topping sim rig for some insanely immersive virtual driving at Spa-Francorchamps Circuit.
Compared to my trusty Logitech setup at home, Dynisma's system is on another planet in terms of feedback, immersion, motion and anything other aspect you can think of.
How do I fare on my first go on this super-setup, at Belgium's Spa in a GT3 race car? Find out in this video...

yes, but the sim will always have its own place. for example you can race anytime you want, test a large variety of cars and tracks, learn before you push the real car to the limits, drive with far less maintenance, weather doesn’t affect you, you name it.

My favorite part about watching you sim racing is how easy it is to soak up the details of your technique. I find myself studying things like how far ahead/when you start to look ahead through corners, and how you’re operating the wheel and pedals next to what I’m seeing onscreen. Something I would love to see is the use of an H-pattern shifter and clutch pedal, along with a pedal cam. Your books go into immaculate detail about technique, amongst other things, but watching the man who wrote the words actually use them himself is truly an experience. Also, the running commentaries you do are loaded with fascinating information/facts/trivia to the point where it feels like I should be taking notes. I’m excited for what you have planned for the future.

I did simracing back in 2003, the internet speed available was too laggy or slow for online racing (even with cable internet). I had the original Thrustmaster FFB wheel (that had no model number) with pedal and stick. It was a powerful wheel, very nice. Later on, my relationship died, and of course there were several boxes I forgot to take with me when I left. The wheel plus a HOTAS stick were lost 😪 recently my love for racing was rekindled and I got a 2nd hand T300 wheel with pedals. Practising Spa at the moment, best time 1.45.823 in F2004 in Assetto Corsa. Now waiting for AC EVO to be released

This was an absolutely awesome video, Ben! It's really cool getting to you see you in an insane sim rig like that on Spa. I'm glad you mentioned the movement-- I've seen a lot of motion rigs where the movement is more like a roller coaster simulator than a driving one. It's also enlightening to hear you say that most sims tend to overdo the loss of grip on the wheels. I've always felt that was the case with the grip (doubly so for wet weather in almost every sim). Thank you and I'm really looking forward to more videos on this channel (and your main one). P.S. I love that you have a "simple" rig. There's a bit of a cult in sim racing and besides you, the only other person I've seen say a lot of it doesn't matter is Tidgney (who primarily races in Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa Competizione).

Forza 7 is actually pretty decent because you don't immediately die after you pass the grip limit. Though you do tend to oversteer/drift for too long until the grip comes back. Project Cars 2 is actually pretty good too. The best ones are the ones that sim losers say aren't sims. Austin Ogonoski sets WR times with a g29, and he was also a QA tester for PC2, though I think he finally got something better. Myself personally, I skipped the logitech setup and got a cheapish belt drive from fanatec. About a year ago I got the CSL DD on a black friday deal because the old wheel was definitely aging. Sim racing is definitely annoying with people buying the most expensive stuff because "realism" in a game where you have to baby tires and can't touch curbs.

Oh yeah massive respect for doing the Sim racing thing, I loved Project Cars 2, A solid Sim racing title PC2, It is why I am hooked to ASM 2, AMS 2 is my go to Sim Racing title, Reiza doing a top job with AMS 2, You worked on Project Cars 2 didn't you Ben?, Big up for doing what you is doing with Sim Racing, I see Racing as a great way of learning skills that can be used in real life, So to speak, I also think communities needs some Sim Racing centers for the youth, If the Youth had a place with things like Sim Rigs, Then the older people can then keep an eye on the youth, There is way too many kids running around the streets causing mayhem, If the youth had a center with Sim Racing facilities, And other things for the kids, You never know the next F1 champ could come from a Sim Racing center, But I see Racing could be used as a tool to educate the youth, If there is something that will get the youth wanting to go there, Then They could use Sim racing for an entrance into other forms of education, After all a learned society is a productive society, lol, But yeah I do think sim Racing centers would so well, A lot of people can't afford the set ups with DD wheels, Motion rigs, ect, We had a go Karting place when I was growing up, A fiver would get you half hour if I remember right, Not anymore lol, Go Karting can be expensive, Great exercise Go Karting is, Last time I went Karting I done an hour and felt like I been working out for days, lol, If I had a place to keep a Kart I would get one, But I live in a 3rd floor flat with no lifts, Karting is a good way to get into racing, So it be good to see more Karting centers open, And discounts for youth centers... But yeah big up for doing the Sim racing thing, I think it is fantastic people can jump in a rig at home and race other people, Making Sim Racing more than just a game, lol....

I tried it with a controller the other day and I love the “potential” lap time that is shown. It really shows how if you practice more and string together a good lap you can improve your lap times by multiple seconds. Thank you Ben for your work on PC2.

I remember in my very early 20s in 1987 at the Australian car show in Sydney they had a JPS "racing simulator" but it wasn't actually something anyone could get in and drive. It was like a very small completely light proof theatre - perhaps holding a dozen people (from memory). We all sat down in bucket seats and in a completely dark environment a very large screen at the front lit up. On the screen was an in-car camera on the (then) star of Group A touring cars - a BMW E30 M3. Basically we took a lap around a circuit from the passenger seat perspective and this entire structure bucked and weaved, pitched up, down, yawed - you name it. It was unbelievably immersive and the fact that this was 1987 was even more startling in retrospect. I remember we literally even had to hold onto our seats under braking and around the corners. OK, this is probably not something I would want to go back and visit because I would probably be disappointed these days as we have taken enormous leaps and bounds for granted. Certainly what satisfied me as a sim racer even 5 years ago wouldn't remotely cut it now, let alone what I had 20 years ago. But it was a great memory if only because of the era and how it opened my eyes up to marrying a visual effect (the passenger "race cam" on the screen) to G forces that were actually significant for what it was.

I'd be interested in you getting to compare this to something like a simucube/asetek setup with transducers in each corner and VR. Based on your 'less is more' comment on the motion setups and the immersion, I suspect it'd deliver a lot of the value for a much more modest* price. *modest is a word simracers use to pretend we're not insane for spending crazy money on what are basically fancy game controllers.

So now we know why the FFB in pCars was so lacking😁 Actually most motion-rigs for consumers are using actuators, not hydraulics. Actuators react quickly, but are slow with the motion because they work like drillers. The fast ones can do 300 mm/s, which is app. 1 km/h and D-Box is even slower. That's why less motion is better with those types, so you only get the initial motion cues. I'm using the SimXperience G-Seat with G-Belt plus a couple of shakers, because they are the quickest. It's a relatively cheap full 6 DOF setup and I'm quite happy with it, but feels more like a roadcar on a twisty country road.

@@BenCollinsGaming Both combined would be the best, but motion alone is often lacklaster and the opposite of the g-forces in a real car like roll. The GS-5 plus G-Belt does all 6 DOF quite convincing minus accelerating. It feels like a car, not sim-racing on a roller-coaster and another big advantage: full VR-compatibility. The people with the crazy motion-rigs usually avoid VR and rather put their triples on the motion rig. Especially since the Quest 3, flatscreen sim-racing is dead to me.

Amazing rig but still has the issue of lack of depth perception from the 2D projection screen. Had the same issue when in an Air Force KC-135 sim. Incredible immersion but depth perception isn't as good as when in VR. Seeing that combined with a high end VR headset would be super interesting.

Am I right in thinking that the underlying sim software being used was Rfactor or Rfactor Pro? The graphics seemed familiar.

BETTER than that 2.5 millon dollar rig. Is the drag tag set up from Australia that you can put ANY car on a rolling dyno with a screen in font of you alot like the wrap a round screen with that 2 million rig. Emagine putting your favorite F-1 CAR ON this rig. It would be louder and waaay more realistic. Jay leno put his yellow corvette on this rig back in 2011. There's video of this on the internet somewhere. Might be on you tube. Might wanna see if there still in business in 2024. Hopefully you can try this out.

I started with a G29, over 18mths modded it to the tilt, it was great. Another 18mths later, and about $8-10k later, updated the rig again lol
