I’m back in the budget sim racing cockpit today for my first drive and to give you my impressions on the level of immersion, realism and fun factor compared with my every-day usage rig which cost more than 10 times as much.
As you saw in our previous video, this cockpit was built on a budget of $2000AUD and comprises of the following hardware…..
- FANATEC CSL Elite Wheelbase
- FANATEC CSL Elite Pedals
- FANATEC CSL Elite Load Cell Kit (NOT YET INSTALLED – STAY TUNED)
- Next Level Racing CHALLENGER Cockpit
I have to say I’m very impressed with the FANATEC CSL Elite range so far, but we will, of course, elaborate further in future videos.
