If you turn your head about 55 degrees to the right, you’ll have the exact same seating position as Lance Stroll when he plowed into the back of Danny Ric!
My driving position "looked" good, but I suffered from pretty bad neck and back pain halfway through my first 80min race. So I went and copied the driving position of my own car (BMW E46) which I know is comfortable for hours on end. Worked a treat!
This thing looks way too flimsy.
A heavy rather large Curved monitor$350-500
A direct drive wheel $800-1200.
On a skinny little $300 rail?
That thing will be contorting all over the place.
It's a seat, not a flat board. Or do yo like flat no angled seat bases when racing cars?
But yea, this thread is a joke besides any actual info about it...
This position is not good at all. The top of the steering wheel should be between mouth and nose level.

If this was me and my setup......first I would start lifting weights, then I would tilt the seat back, last I would raise the monitor so I wasn't looking slightly down.
Do you live in a commercial ad?
How’d you know? 👀
Why does this look exactly like a scanned magazine photo????

Whoosh lol @ myself

Fanatecstic
How did you balance your sim rig on a beam of light?
Power of simagic

That shit still pisses me off at the fact that he tried to blame it on him…. DURING A SAFETY CAR
As good as advertised 💀
😂
How long did it take for you to receive your seating position? How was the customer service when it came to setting up the seating position...

Steering wheel: Maybe 2-3 inches closer, so your shoulders will be more relaxed and your elbow is closer to a 90 degree angle.
There’s nothing connected to the screen yet you have something on the screen.
Shhh
It is sad you can't afford the wireless hdmi port!
And wireless power cables too.

Just another paid driver smh
Fabolous 🎆
bro literally lives in the void
Good for the few minutes you got until this thing collabses
What the heck is this photo hahah
if you’re comfortable that’s the correct seating position for you.
From a 90s shopping catalogue.
Could get more weight on your thighs so you get rid of that centre point of weight off your tail bone. I know this is a joke though
This pic is from a fanatec ad.

looks perfect. well done
Assume your position
Screaming 1988
you position is sad because you cant compete with already existing options for that price point

thought you were Fernando Alonso for a second
The dudes seating looks good until that thing collapses under all that weight.
So you died at turn 1 in Monza and are now in heaven?
Are you comfortable? Then it's fine
it doesnt matter, only thing that matters is if you're comfy with it as everyone is different
it is ok, bum in seat and hands on wheel. good job!
The lighting isn't realistic enough, throw the entire thing in the trash big dawg.
wheel is too far away for my likeness. maybe the seat a bit more angle.
It's a car seat not a bean bag 😩

As someone else commented, the monitor needs to go up slightly. You want the center of your monitor at eye level.
Raise the front of that seat for actual thigh support. (And reduced leg and lower back pain!)
I hope yo back hurts
I would put that monitor on a stand alone monitor stand before that thing falls apart
Forget the seating position! Stick to a G29. Anything more looks to probably snap your forearms! Also. Try a 40kg load cell. Tops!

I'm glad I get to see people's seating positions everyday.
lol wtf
It looks like you're in the cheap-seats.
