Default Sim Racing

Hey guys,
Thought I would post up about one of my Car related hobbies.
I have been sim Racing for a number of years (And no I'm not 12 lol)
I built a full motion rig for VR a couple years ago. Pretty damn amazing how realistic it is. Also have tactile bass shakers on all four corners that vibrate as the individual wheel would hitting curbs, bumps etc.
Below is a YouTube Link of my build a year or so ago. (A few updates since) One of my sims has an XKR and an F-Type as well!

That is pretty cool. I'd still rather do tactical shooting drills with Airsoft rifles though.

Have not done in a while but I was/am a big paintball fan. The sim looks pretty cool though.

Wow that's an incredible setup! I'm getting into sim racing myself, nothing like your rig though. Just a force feedback wheel and a comfy chair right now. I'm primarily on Asseto Corsa and Project Cars 2. If you do multiplayer, send me a PM and we can exchange gamertags.

I've been enjoying Forza Motorsport 7 on my PC, it has the logitech G27 wheel and I've just installed a 42" LED TV as the monitor (which actually works great for gaming).

There are heaps of Jags available on that game - XKR-S, XKRS-GT, some of the racing Jags, some vintage, some F Types (all V8's unfortunately), the XFR-S, the XE - but as most are very understeery in the game the best to drive out of all of them is the XJ220. I must have done the Nordschlieffe(sp?) track 30 times in various Jags, but the XJ220 is the only one I can do flat out with no traction or stability control.
