It's the white plastic crap that you can put around a Wiimote all over again.

Wow, RHD! A grey import rig, right? Is this even legal in the States? My guess is, you'll have to make an economically feasible conversion by a local importer to avoid trouble with the FMVSS.

So i finally got a gaming pc and upgraded my racing gear w/ Fanatec.
Here is my current setup but im thinking putting 2 monitors instead of 1 on top of the 49" super ultrawide.

That looks like a good setup. It was fun to see professional race car drivers set ups during iracing, from Denny Hamlin's 30k set up with a roll cage, to Timmy Hill using a couple hundred dollar wheel mounted to a computer desk. Both guys won races. I think it really boils down to what works for you.
What games are you playing?

Yes, i was hoping to get a reaction from one of you clowns for that.
My goto is f1 series, so i just got f1 2020, it came w/ the wheel. Also have Project Cars 2 & Forza 4. Some rally games also. Im hopin there are some true arcade racers but no luck finding any so far.
Ive never played those but looks fun.

Monster truck championship is gonna be the first decent monster truck game in 22 years, and it’s the first ever simulator.
I think it would be cool if it supported other monitors towards the floor, for when you’re hitting jumps and crushing cars from first person POV.
Modern monsters have polycarbonate floor board so they can see the ground since they’re so high up.

Can your kids play for free or do they have to pay? The tubes blow your own farts right back at your face, right?

That is pretty cool, though I didn’t even notice the tubes at first, lol.
Pretty sure the 360 version of Daytona is available/backwards compatible on the xbone if you’re looking for some arcade racing games. There was a Sega Rally game on 360 that may be as well...?

i have the two tubes hooked up to two usb fans. Currently they are just there for looks & a way too cool me down. You can get extreme like wind sim, that controls the speed depending how fast and your turns.
Yeah, only the PC, not console. Console dont' support the ultrawide.
Yeah i already have a Daytona 2 racing cab. Its the best arcade racer and then Outrun is next. Im looking for modern arcade racers. Something like this Wreckfest, looks awesome. Nascar Heat so far seem meh, looks like daytona but i haven't figured out how to power to slide. i dont think this is an arcade racer.
There are a lot of cool games like Horizon Chase Turbo dont support the wheel.

Daytona 2 looks ok but wtf were they thinking with the advanced track design? Racing through an amusement park? Too tacky/corny! The other tracks seem cool though.

Are there a lot of modern arcade racers? Most everything seems more sim focused.
I haven’t played Forza Horizon 4 yet but 3 was good...its definitely more arcadey than the regular Forza games but not really arcadey in the Daytona sense.
Never heard of Wreckfest but I just checked it out some videos and looks cool. I guess Burnout Paradise also got a rerelease.
For me the racing game i’m most excited for is Hotshot Racing. That’s what I think of when I think of arcade racing. Should hopefully be coming out soon.

There are plenty of arcade racers, but they all blend together. They also don't really work with Sim setups.

Yeah, I don’t really think most people using these setups play arcade racers. Not saying you can’t and I’m sure they are fun using the rig- there just is not many choices out there.
