Here is my rig. Made completely from things and Material I already had, except the T248. Served well for about 1.5 jears, but has been recently replaced by something much better. The ghost in the seat is actually not me, it's my son...

cheers,

Klaus

I'm pretty new to GT7 and my first rig is much the same although with a playseat challenge. Getting into the swing of things now and learning fast following your YouTube videos along with Luke and Kizzy. 
My question is as a D/C ranked driver how much difference will a better/ newer rig make ?

Thanks for the support. To be honest, as long as your rig isn't flexing too much and you can focus on making consistent inputs, you'll be absolutely fine. A better rig can improve comfort, stability, and immersion, but at the D/C level there are usua…

Thanks Digit

Definitely a big learning curve but an enjoyable one at the same time.

To be honest, as long as your rig isn't flexing too much and you can focus on making consistent inputs, you'll be absolutely fine. A better rig can improve comfort, stability, and immersion, but at the D/C level there are usually much bigger gains to be found in driving technique, consistency, and racecraft.

Hi Digit,

I wasn’t sure where to ask this, but figured this would be a good place to start. Do you happen to have a link or thread showcasing your CSL brake pedal mod? I recall you mentioning it in a recent stream.

I recently switched over to the Fanatec ecosystem and also using the CSL pedals. Coming from loadcell pedals, the brake feel is definitely on the softer side. I’m looking for recommendations on how I could stiffen it up a bit.

Thanks!

Hey, here are a few pictures. In the latest mod, I installed a 1mm steel plate on the back side of the pedal (the metal part, drilled two holes) and added an elastomer inside the foam, as shown in the photo.
