An idea was spread around one of the communities I work with of doing a "Before vs After Sim Rig Edition" for the recent and lengthy lockdown periods! Fellow RD community members: it's time to show your updated sim racing rigs!
As we are all well aware, the sim-racing world has exploded over the past 12 months and that has bought in some really interesting ideas and more time to work on that dream sim rig project that you may have been too busy to do!
Feel free to share your stories of your sim racing lifes before lockdown and after lockdown along with some images of your awesome rigs!
I will start with mine, I started as most of you did with a controller on PC. Playing Project Cars 2, doing public lobbies with a scenario we called '8 Lap Bangers!' GT3, 1 Mandatory stop 10 Minute Qualifing, 8 Lap Race. Some of the greatest fun i have had with friends to this day! Lobbies would fill up over 1 or 2 races and due to the public player base, alot of the same names became aparent on the grid and it was an awesome experience!
Before Lockdown
Numerous upgrades have been had since that day, I now have a desk and rig setup, a sit/stand desk with triples for 24 inch monitors for the broadcasting work i do for my community and the rig behind me is a NextLevelRacing GT Track with a 27 inch monitor.
After Lockdown
Post images of your rigs and the stories behind them in the comments below.
