I’m a very proud owner of a Simucube 2 Pro. My Heusinkveld brake pedal with a SIM3D rumble kit installed Simucube 2 Sport To a real-world driver, suddenly the sim car just makes so much more sense – enough that you feel you can finally drive the sim car properly, trail brake and control the car with the throttle just like you would a real track car. As I’ve said before, I found throttle control was markedly improved and braking was so much more accurate compared to my previous Fanatec pedals. I recommend you try these pedals over say, a set of Fanatec Clubsport V3’s or the soon to be obsolete but very, very good Clubsport LC pedals because they’re many times better. My love affair with the “sim pedals Sprint” as Heuskinveld love to call them has lasted several years. This way you won’t have any surprises when you run out of fixing halfway through a build! Further, it’s smart to buy a good quality selection of Allen keys, nut spinners – avoid cheap tools because (for example) a cheap Allen key can turn in the socket and then you’ll be in an awful lot of trouble! Heusinkveld Sprint Pedals I think it’s smart to buy a collection of M5, M6 and M8 slot nuts and bolts. While your cockpit will come with all the slot nuts and “socket-head” bolts for assembly, it’s probable that the mounting bracket and seat won’t come with the fixings you need. Slide nuts and socket head bolts for cockpit assembly and mounting You’ll need the mounting brackets to bolt the seat to your chassis, and you’ll be ready to go. It’s very rigid and sturdy with a fibreglass shell and you can customise the seat for comfort with the removable lumbar and leg support. It’s OMP, which is the seat manufacturer I use in my Mazda MX5 racer. The Champ-R is one of the least expensive FIA Approved for Motorsport seats available. We’ve covered sim racing seats extensively in our buyer’s guide, but this seat, in particular, catches the eye: the OMP Champ-R: The OMP Champ-R is a great seat for sim racing ( source) If this cockpit chassis had been available when I built my first simulator, it’s the one I would have started out with! OMP Racing Champ Seat It comes with a pedal base compatible with the Heusinkveld Sprints (we’ll come onto the pedals in a moment), and a MiGE motor mount is available to make it compatible with the excellent Simucube Sport 2 Pro. You can spend a lot more on a simulator cockpit that has far more flex than the GT1 Evo. Evo cockpit with Fanatec DD2 and Shifter fitted More importantly, you will own a sim rig that you’re extremely unlikely to need to upgrade. It’s made from 8020 aluminium profile, so flex (for more on what “flex” is and what prevents it in a sim rig, read this article), in the main frame and wheel support, won’t be an issue. Let’s take a look at each item, starting with the cockpit: Sim Lab GT1 Evo Cockpitįor the money ( Around the £285 mark on the manufacturer’s website), I don’t think you can beat this cockpit. iRacing $20 one year membership (for new users) enter code PR-2022NEXTGEN.CyberpowerPC Luxe Gaming PC – Intel Core i9-11900KF, Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB, 32GB RAM: £1200.
