my new racing wheel stand...

CAme up with a simple idea for it.  I wanted one that was sturdy , not too big, and adjustable vertical and horizontal.  This is what we came up with.  My dad actually fabricated it.  It is dam near perfect.

Nice Job Goose! when i looked at the first images i was about to post that my wife would kill me if i brought that into the house, but the finished product is spectacular.

one thing are the pedals hard to reach? i have a stand similar but from side on the base of the pedals are inline with the back of the wheel, in other words my pedals sit where your main pole is.

Re: my new racing wheel stand...

the pedals are easy for me to reach. The vertical pole gets positioned to a point where it is almost touching the couch.  It is a very comfortable position.


on a side note, i drove the f1 ferrari on gt5 p.  holy hell man..i ran about 10 laps on susuka east, and when i finished my hands where shaking i was so pumped..I will post a vid of it later.  freaking insane.

on  daytona speedway with the same car, ran with 3 tenths of the leader....place 7967..lol

That's an awesome custom wheel stand G00SE!  I'm assuming something like that wouldn't take too much time or funds to complete?

Re: my new racing wheel stand...

Goose the wheel on GT is so good, have you played F1:CE yet? if you think your hands are shacking your whole body will be shacking after that game.

and here is a few images of my rig, I used this rig for about 5 years now maybe longer, i like it cause its versatile, its adjusts up, down on the pole, forward and back on the wheel and even tilt adjustment, i have wanted a dedicated seat and wheel stand but this just works to well and can game on my super comfortable leather lounge so i have stuck with it for so long and its serverd well.
The top bit i have made interchangeable, the wheel is connected to a timber that comes off and i then put on my 360 wheel or DFP without any mods in a few seconds, also 360 pedals have a timber structure under it so it slots into place and a decent angle to play comfortable.
Its also full equipped with a fold in drink holder for those long sessions smile
