Taking Sim Racing To The NEXT LEVEL - F-GT Elite 160 / ERS3 Seat Showcase

[@dklassen]

I enjoy your content but even more your warped sense of Sim humor. Don't ever change.

[@Road2Racer]

😅 Thanks for being here!

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Very cool! Enjoy man!

[@LivingEthanFPV11]

ive been watching you since you got your first wheel and its very nice seeing everything coming together

[@CallumAFK]

Omg the butterfly part I legit thought I had opened another tab or an advert was playing in the background 😂

[@steveh4264]

Great summary. Have spent the last year+ with the F-GT Elite and it seems like you nailed all the pertinent points. I think those slanted uprights are one of the bigger sticking points for some folks, along with the supporting pedal structure being attached to them. Has been a fantastic rig for VR sim racing once the sometimes painful dialing in of everything was complete.

[@Road2Racer]

For sure. I still haven't had time to do some VR in it. Might do that today. What's your favorite VR title.

[@steveh4264]

@@Road2Racer Hard to nail down a favorite...seems to depend on the day of the week. Lots of modded AC, AMS2, ACC, rF2, LMU and very occasional dirt 2 and WRC. Once they develop ACE a little further and get a handle on VR actually being performative enough to play, really looking forward to diving into Evoluzione deeper.

Absolutely epic timelapse. Thanks for sharing! I’m slowly getting there myself, just upgraded to a solid aluminum wheel stand to fit in my office. The good thing is that I’m off of the “desk mount” and on a sturdier frame for when I make my next big purchase of a DD wheel base. Keep the journey going!! Love it!

[@Road2Racer]

Getting off the desk was huge. So much more consistent with the driving.

[@whiplash231]

I got the original NLR F-GT Elite about 3 years ago when it first came out. I am in New Zealand and we have right hand drive so technically the shifter would be on the left like in Australia where NLR is from but as most racing games are Left hand drive I mounted it American style. Love my Rig! I have the 3 monitor mount and my wife just loves how much space it takes up in the dining room ;) While watching your video I have just learned that I can raise my seat up as I changed from the ES1 recently to the ERS1 and thought I had to have the seat slammed on the rig. just working up the courage now to remount it. And I swear with that sense of humour you must surely have worked in IT?

[@Road2Racer]

....yes I did... wtf 😅

[@trevorthorlakson]

Oh I’m alive with pleasure now. Good video, even better guy.

[@mannieactionsports2117]

This video is Next Level

[@stephenmills1023]

great video keep up the good your never know simcube might be watching would that be the holy grail ?

[@DethEcrof]

Great video Casey! Good mix of information and humour. 👍 Any idea if the casters can be added underneath in place of the feet to roll it around?

[@Road2Racer]

Thanks! I would assume so. Might depend on the casters. If you buy the ones with t-slot mounts, the answer would be definitely.

[@jackinbe1000]

RIP your first aluminium rig, long live the desk clamp rig 🔥

[@kylesimpson5331]

Fantastic video!!

[@jackie87430]

13:26 could you just use a floor jack for a car to hold it in position and tighten it back up?

[@OddBeardActual]

As always brother. You killed it on this video. You’re getting naturally good at this. 🙌🫡😎👾🇺🇸🫶🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥✌️🤟❤️❤️🥰🥰🥸🥸🥳🥳🧐😛🙃

[@Lorenzovonmatter]

When I saw the f-gt elite I was really wondering where your gona put that huge rig! 😅😂 Have a Next level gtelite lite and it's solid af!

[@Road2Racer]

Fits like a glove!

[@SIMRIG412]

Amazing looking rig and amazing content like always! Only downfall of the whole rig is the angled up right that hold the wheel. Harder to get in and out and harder to mount other profile to.

[@Road2Racer]

Yeah, I couldn't comfortably mount the ebrake straight to the upright like I had before.

[@supercededman]

I've got the NLR GT Elite, with a similar upright. It is super easy to get in and out of. I've had a 75 year-old friend (I'm 64) who also had no problems with it.

[@AMGLUNA]

3:48 im dying 🤣

[@lhmngwy]

Been a fan of your channel since I was looking for reviews of the fanatec r2r bundle back in September, which I bought after watching. I'm on a NLR wheel stand 2.0 right now with an office chair but could see me getting a rig at some point... Out of interest, what is the full length of your rig including the overhang of your chair and pedals? They never factor overhang into the measurements but important to know when you have a small space!

[@Road2Racer]

If I put my search all the way back I'm ay 78 inches. But the pedals could still extend further. With the seat in racing position more like 70 inches

[@lhmngwy]

Nice, I have 74 inches to work with so sounds like I have space with me being 6ft! Cheers!

[@SIMRIG412]

You also don’t see the t-nuts once the bracket are over them. Also if you place the t-nut facing so it doesn’t stick out.

[@Road2Racer]

I forgot to mention this! Definitely position the long side behind the profile.

[@Glutzie]

Killer and always fun

[@Jonno2020]

Just bought the same cockpit and seat. How did you get ERS3 seat rear bolts? The seat rails don't extend to the rear enough to fit the bolts.

[@Road2Racer]

Lol... it's not easy. But I sat on it on the floor and made sure it was all the way back. Even all the way back, it was a challenge to get a bolt in there.

[@Jonno2020]

I managed to get the rear bolts on in a round about way. You have the seat brackets mounted, bolted straight onto the frame. This allows the seat to be pitch adjusted. nice work-around.

[@-KelevraGaming-]

managed to make it through all that footage i see.😂 so just an FYI with the upright and adjustments you could just move seat and pedal placement instead of entire upright system.

[@Road2Racer]

True! So, basically, just make sure those uprights are in a neutral location.

[@-KelevraGaming-]

@Road2Racer pretty much an may need to move shifter and handbrake to different locations but easier than trying to move all that.

[@Me-kw1ct]

I think its time to fully commit to the sim room. Take everything else out, face the rig in the middle then go with Triples.... Do it!

[@Road2Racer]

...it's crossed my mind... but the music is too important.

[@AMGLUNA]

did my p1x pro , started at 5:30 pm yesterday , finished today at 4 pm Im feeling like I got jumped😂 , I got cuts, bumps, bruises all over my body , almost detached my toes a couple of times 😂 Never again but proud of myself 😅

[@celeroon89]

0:37 dude, I checked and there are no freakin drumset behind me what are you talking about?

[@Road2Racer]

Check again.

[@celeroon89]

@Road2Racer I did and sadly, still nothing there 😕🤣

[@RSR_NUGANETICS]

Nice vid, I have the same rig

[@philliptheone]

did you sell the last rig

[@Road2Racer]

Saving for future content plans!

[@Android415]

😅 keep it up 💯

[@DanDiMaggio]

mirror the shifter mount got me too. Silly Americans Lol

[@Road2Racer]

😅 I was so damn confused

[@badrockjones]

Follow the instructions to a T (nut)!

[@Road2Racer]

Oooffff... i missed an easy dad joke.

[@justinmonroe7430]

You drive a vibe… there’s nothing racing aspect to it. 😂

[@Road2Racer]

I know. That's what I like 😅

[@Scragg-]

:)

[@gwenndolynnmecklenburg6457]

what is it with sim racers and drum kits,..lol

[@Road2Racer]

😅 lol well it's not just a kit... I actually play drums.

[@WildRice281]

Looks cool, but you didn't really show it.

[@Road2Racer]

Yeah, i could have done more sit-down time with it finished. But there are plenty of shots near the back half of the video.

[@WildRice281]

@@Road2Racer Do you think it would do good with motion actuators?

[@Road2Racer]

@WildRice281 Next Level sells actually motion platforms, but I know nothing about motion rigs.

[@WildRice281]

@@Road2Racer lol, Your room might be small for that. I think I might get that rig though!

[@TheLownoise]

Give the old rig to your wife :D

[@Road2Racer]

That's the plan! We just have to find space for it 🤣

[@TheLownoise]

@@Road2Racer well , toss that drumset down in the basement and rig ut next to yours , there's space for that :D

[@TheLownoise]

@@Road2Racer you will not need those drums anymore anyway, you will be busy not letting your wife outrace you :p

[@Road2Racer]

@@TheLownoise this is the dream

[@TheLownoise]

@@Road2Racer let the dream unfold before your eyes then ;) good luck :D

[@RetroGenetic]

Only UK has shifter on the left in this side of world

[@Road2Racer]

Oh! The more you know!

[@supercededman]

Umm. No, plenty of other nations do. Not the majority, but plenty. I'm in Australia.

[@RetroGenetic]

@@supercededman Key on the this side of the world, as he mentioned Europe and driving on the left, not about any other area
