Motion Simulator

[Peter Ross]

I sold some sim racing hardware to a man from Plymouth Massachusetts, Dave Daylor, in 2020. I gave him the shop tour and showed him the customer R&D Daytona Coupe with heavy body alterations when he picked up the hardware. Dave talked about his FFR Mk3. He and his buddy Sean built Mk3's about the same time. https://youtu.be/sUDnpo0nLQY?feature=shared
Dave was very instrumental in my decision to build a Type 65 Coupe. Saturday I visited his shop in Bourne and got hooked on Sim racing again. This amazing machine must be seen and experienced in person. There was no motion sickness as with 3 actuator machines, just head to toe immersion. This machine needs to sit in the FFR showroom for a few days. He can load a Cobra or the Daytona Coupe in the sim using Assetto Corsa. My first time driving anything other than iRacing. Won't go into differences just noting the experience was 100% immersive from a very critical purist's perspective.
If you're in the Cape Code proximity, reach out and visit his shop to take a few laps. https://pcnetworkguys.com/

My first time behind the old Direct drive wheel since sellin it to Dave in 2020. I was hooked! https://youtube.com/shorts/Mcsn3AfGFU4?feature=shared Btw I did NOT give him $10,000 but my wife does NOT believe me. I taught her! Driving a deposit to Bourne later today to really teach her a lesson, heheheh. I will be sleeping in my shop for a while becuase I cant sleep with one eye open.

I used to work for a company that was in the same building as iRacing. I buddied up with their IT group as I'm in IT too. It was great fun to spend my lunch time racing in an iRacing sim in their offices. Some are very very serious racers!

Those forums and sites are great. All the old school builders started in them. We have a new group on FaceBook Motion Sim Builders: https://www.facebook.com/groups/329597371658416

Tons of great info on this site. And with 3D printing its moved everything so far forward so fast.. This group is pretty good too: Sim Racing 3D print: https://www.facebook.com/groups/121225486516428

Everything you see in red I 3D printed on my rig minus the seat.

Pete,
Thanks for the kind words. Hundred and hundreds of hours into my motion sim build. I'm humbled how impressed you are with it, along with others that have come down to check it out. Looking forward to your build !!
