A little while back I put together a “budget” sim rig using Next Level Racing’s Challenger cockpit and a Fanatec CSL Elite. A lot of people were upset that it was still too expensive, so today we go back to basics and build a rig for under $400 USD using a Wheel Stand Racer and Logitech G920.
In this video, we put the rig together and take it for its first drive to see how it goes.
In the next video, I’ll do some back to back comparisons with my Simucube 2 Ultimate rig to see how my lap times compare.
