Say No to Logitech! Building Your First Sim Racing Rig - Here's Where You Can Cut Corners.

Are you thinking about building your first sim racing or sim drifting rig? Putting a sim setup together can be expensive so this video covers where it's worth spending the money and where you can cut corners. Some of the topics discussed include the best beginner wheelbase, whether to play on console or PC, and what kind of screen setup you should use. I've got almost a decade of experience in sim racing with wheels like the Logitech G29 and G920, Thrustmaster T300RS, Fanatec DD1, Simagic Alpha Mini and more. I've also been involved in various motorsports through the years, including transition over from sim drifting to real life. If you've been on the fence about getting into sim or just need some advice about your setup, this video should help get you pointed in the right direction.

The community has been great and I'd very much like to pay it forward and help anyone looking else looking to get into drifting for the first time. Any burning questions as someone wanting to learn how to drift? Send them my way and I'll either respond or cover in a future video.
