Need help with my new Sim Racing Rig

[princeworth12]

Hi guys,
Im currently researching a lot of different products in order to create a nice racing rig for myself and my dad. At the moment, I have two options: one for about 1,600 euros and one for about 2,200 euros. I don't have a lot of knowledge about sim gear, I've been racing for 4 years using my G29 so I'd love some feedback! I have a Valve Index, but my dad gets quite sick when using it so he'd prefer a screen.

1,600 euros rig:
-CSL Elite racing wheel 499,95
CSL Elite Pedal LC 229,95
-Playseat Project Cars 399,00
-1440p 144hz screen 399/599

2,200 euros rig:
Clubsport Wheelbase V2.5 549.95
Clubsport Steering Wheel Universal Hub: 349,95
Clubsport Wheel Rim GT Forza Motorsport: 129,95
Clubsport Pedal V3: 359,95
Playseat Project Cars: 399,00
1440P 144hz screen 399/599

There are probably products I mentioned which will be too expensive or unneccesary, so if you guys have any notes, let me know!

Thanks!

The playseat is not very good at all, i have it, and it flexes with stock thrustmaster t300rs, i would say, if you want go for Simetik K2, or DIY 8020 rig or some Simlab. And the Simetik K2 is cheaper as well. But overall i would go for the 2200€ rig, and you dont need to separately buy the Rim and universal hub, just get the BMW rim maybe, its good for the price.

Thanks for your answer. Yeah I've heard a couple of people say negative things about the playseat. I'll look more into other chairs, but are there many good quality chairs for the same price as the PS?

Well Simetik K2 is 300€ with only the frame, you need to get seat by yourself, some old car seat works too

Are there like different sizes of seats which will not fit the K2? I have no knowledge about this stuff so I was wondering if I can just buy any race seat and put it in the K2.

Usually you can just put any seat there yeah, maybe needs some brackets but everything fits on there usually.

Just found this post again haha. My Simetik K2 has been going strong for 1.5 years now, great recommendation!
