So in this new video for RaceDepartment I decided to talk about my experience with a budget setup and of course some tips to follow that allows you to be fast and consistent.
For instance I would never advice using a normal office chair, simply because you will keep moving around, if you have a pedal set that requires some more force you will be pushed back and it can put you in a position where you need to re-adjust, so I would advice a normal chair that allows you to stay put.
When it comes to the wheel, for myself I use a Thrustmaster T300, with the addition of the Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals. These pedals have the benefit of being spring loaded. The benefit in this is that the brake itself just is much heavier then the standard one you get from Thrustmaster and you can even control it by adding heavier springs with more tension, or make it lighter doing the opposite.
Let us know in the comments below what your budget simulator solution looks like.
F1 president Stefano Domenicali said: "This is an incredible moment for F1 that demonstrates the huge appeal and growth of our sport with a third race in the US."
There will be three main straights and 14 corners, which will include a single chicane section and a sequence of high speed corners.
The race will be promoted in partnership with some of the major casino and hotel groups in the city, including; Caesars Palace, Wynn Las Vegas, MGM and the Venetian.
