PS4 Sim Racing Setup Help

Lconzors on 01/12/2016 - 12:31

I am currently looking at purchasing a sim racing setup for my PS4 in early January (may be earlier for the post xmas sales) and as of now I'm looking at getting the Logitech G29 + shifter ($350-$400) and the Next Level GTxtreme V2 seat from Pagnian Imports ($589)(its currently on sale to match the price of the GTpro, but if its price goes up I will just get the GTpro.)

I just wanted to hear peoples thoughts or experiences with these setups, or if they have seen anything going really cheap.
Cheers

Gaming

    If you're seriously wanting to get into sim racing then I recommend the T300RS. I saw it last week for $399 in my local EB (they seem to be sticking it again after a time where it disappeared from their catalogue)
    The T300RS is miles ahead of the Logitech (I owned two Logitech wheels and both broke before I refunded and got a Thrustmaster wheel. The Logitech is a bit of a toy after using the Thrustmaster wheel.

    Also I recommend joining up at ROOZ (RaceonOz) for some clean, enjoyable and local racing against Aussies.

    Let me share with you my experience. I managed to grab a Playseat Evolution racing seat with a broken G25 wheel/pedals ($600+) for $100 and a functioning G25 racing wheel for $50 both on Gumtree.

    For the first couple of months it was great… then it sat in the corner of the theater room for a while… then it moved into the garage for a year.
    I'm a big racing fan but after a while, the novelty wears out. I eventually sold everything for $380.

    My advice is to buy the wheel first and see how often you play. As for the seat, perhaps do what I did and find one second hand. In all honesty the seat doesn't add too much to the experience but it is certainly a cool factor at parties.

      I agree with Ryanek, I used to use a ironing board as a temporary cockpit, Bought a wheel stand pro http://wheelstandpro.com/ which was great, very stable and basically turned my sofa into a cock pit. But that too got relegated to under the spare bed…..then the shed, and I've since sold it. But the stand I bought I think is excellent and still gives a great driving experience.
