Twitter user @XieLonglong created this tiny masterpiece. After one and a half months of construction work, the esports racing room was finally finished. Just check out the detail: from microscopically small pedals and controllers to a miniture kettle and a mask on the wall, this room is better equipped than most full size sim set-ups! The majority of the interior is completely handmade, but the seats can be purchased from retailers of the brand Hobby Design. So if you want to create a tiny version of your room to take pride of place in your gaming area, you know where to go! 
Form and function in perfect harmony! This beautiful sim is carved from wood, and its simple design would grace any games room. It makes a pleasant change from the usual black and gray plastics found on conventional setups. This artwork was created by Reddit-user mondofire as a lockdown project, as they explained in the forum. Mondofire did not manage to get a racing seat in time before the lockdown hit their country, so they simply traded the racing helmet and wheel for a building-site helmet and hammer to create this master-piece out of plywood and a yoga mat. The artist revealed that they spend around $150 USD in materials so it was not only an aesthetically pleasing project, but also a budget-friendly one. 
Here's a sim that promises to take your gaming experience to a whole new level! The NOVA from Eight360 may look like a giant hamster ball, but is actually a VR motion simulator with unlimited axial rotation. Sounds complicated? Just check out the YouTube video! 
BasementGP takes the idea of a sim to whole new level. After purchasing a 2005 MINI Cooper S with mechanical issues, he gave the shell a second chance at life as an awesome racing rig. Selling on parts from the car brought the overall cost down to $0. So if your car dies, don't just send it to the scrapheap in the sky. Transform it into a sim and take it on famous racing circuits in the virtual world! 
In 2011 Matthew Boyer set out to create his own personal racing shell, mimicking those seen in arcades. After 7 months of careful planning, the build took just 3 weeks! He now has a unique setup, optimized to his own racing needs. A labor of love, but definitely worth the effort! 
Noel Miller dug up this homemade sim from the depths of the internet. The coffin is practically the same shape as a Formula 1 chassis; just a lick of paint will make all the difference. We're dying to have a go! 
BMW fans will feel right at home with this sim! Made from the interior of a classic e30 BMW 3 Series from the 1980s, it combines comfort and retro chic into one package. Even the dials on the dashboard work! A masterpiece of DIY. 
If you have a lot more time than money, this could be a solution for you! Made completely out of cardboard, this very homemade sim certainly looks the part - but will it offer an immersive gaming experience? We suspect not, but either way, top marks for creativity! These creations will amaze and inspire you!
