| Hi I have to admit my wife left me this weekend. She went to Montreal alone leaving me to my own devices. I guess she was so very tired of listening to me talk about racing that she decided to escape. Bonus. :cheers: Well I decided to use my spare time wisely and practiced going around Dijon. I also am sending the requested photos regarding pic’s of my setup. You may think the helmet excessive but Suzanne insisted I wear it in case I fall out of my seat, drunkin sod that I am. :drunken: So one of my music stands holds my keyboard a TV tray my notes and mouse.. The Space Frame of my car is made of ABS piping. I used 1 1/2 “, I should have used 2”. Some MDF board to stiffen it does the job. A modified office desk found discarded on the street serves as my race seat. :face:

| Thanks for the comments. The bubbly Pop is a eastern Canadian brew which has a low bounce to foam ratio and it makes it a obvious choice on a bumpy track. :cherry: | |

| okay here it is, ignore the junk on the left side lol, my dfgt (not connected in picture), my precious hd595 headphones, my creative digital surround speakers, my asus vw225n monitor, my keyboard below the wheel and my ikea office desk, not visible is my uncomfortable, although their commercial says otherwise, ikea revolving seat ( [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ); btw i always position the wheel/myself a bit to the side where the ingame wheel is (porsche left side), helps my perception lol [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] :P | |

| I have used an ironing board since 2009, it makes a nice rattling sound over bumps. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| excellent cockpit Richard...using the ironing board is ingenious, and it's kinda like 'house camouflage' |

not really, I tend not to wear a helmet or leathers. but it works well. Maybe desks in the UK dont fit the clamps on the wheel. | |
