 I need to issue a Health Warning for the next few months.

Mr Clause visited this house on New Years Eve and left a shiny new racing rig  . I have it 90% sorted, but I need to make a custom support for the keyboard....racing is  traumatic enough without reaching over the steering wheel and trying to hit the S/R keys with  pencil!!!

I intend to convert to "H" pattern shifter now that I have a proper driving seat, so this is likely to result in some swearing and wildly erratic on track behaviour.

Hopefully you will be much slower in Season 38, whilst you get the hang of it.    Roll Eyes

Thanks for the warning, but won't apply to me.  

Well done for clearly having been a good lad all year.  However - pros don't need access to S/R Smiley
(I on the otherhand, have recently moved from xpadder to JoyToKey to map Shift-R, look L/R, arm, telltale reset to steering wheel buttons)

Or, how about somthing from https://www.wheeldesks.com/ which should do the competition some additional favours!

I guess don't forget to post some bragging pics when done.

Cheers,
Dave.

Looks good.

I have saved one of my past kart seats to make myself a rig but I never seem to get the time.

Yes, looks good.
But are you sure that Father C left that for you?  He didn't just park up his transport after a brandy too many? Smiley

Well, there were reports of this suspicious character loitering in the neighbourhood and I went to investigate. I caught the cheeky blighter sliding down someone's drain pipe with a sack over his shoulder!! He tried to excuse himself by claiming he was in fancy dress for a party, but I saw through that straight away with all of the Covid lockdown stuff!!
For a fat bu**er he was quick on his feet, he vaulted the hedge and ran off towards his getaway vehicle....in the fog it looked like some sort of flat bed truck. In his haste to escape he forgot to turn on his lights and bounced over a sleeping policeman. Why the hell a policeman was sleeping there I have no idea, I suspect he had got lost whilst looking for the policeman's ball.
Several boxes were dislodged and I felt it my civic duty to take them into my care. Regrettably the cardboard cartons became very wet and soggy making addresses etc unreadable and rendering them useless for any form of containment.

If someone believes that these items were destined for them, simply provide me with proof of purchase, pin number, credit card details and full address and I will try not to cover them with Covid-19/20 virus cultures whilst they are in my protective custody.

.........and that m'lud is the case for the defence.  Grin

I bought this about 6 years ago,
 https://www.fk-shop.de/Sportsitze-Gurte/Game-Sitz/FK-Gamesitz-Spielsitz-Rennsimulator-eGaming-Seats-Estoril-Textilgewebe-Stoff-verschiedene-Farben.html?force_sid=61f510db60670d1a78e2accbb22995ae

It was built for persons way smaller than me so I had to make some changes to fit my size.

Don't make it too stiff because all energy goes into the wheelbase, and I really destroyed my G25 when the plastics broke inside the base.

Now my rig is with rubber pieces flexible so my moving energy can go in the rig and my G27 is save.
The plate on wich the base is mounted was of plastic and broke after a while, now its of plywood and survives.

Put it on a gymnastic mattress to have a good damping underneath

I scrapped me Ford Mondano when the cam belt snapped . the passenger seat was unused so i unscrewed it from the floor and made a base out of some 2"x1" to put it on .

Now have a de luxe race seat .

It did not however allow me to drive any better or faster,  but , it's a lot kinder on the 'Farmer Giles'  wheelchair

I've been using an Alfa 143 passenger seat since 2010 also for working all day at pc in my home office, it's more confortable than any other office chair. I receive the customers in another room anyway  Grin
