Hi all. I am hoping someone could offer some advice with an ongoing issue I am currently having. I currently use the Trak Racer RS8 rig for all my sim racing (photo attached). I love the rig but I am getting bad pains in the top left of my back during some of the longer sessions on iracing. I never had this issue with previous rigs i have owned. I can only think the issue is with the chair. By back just doesn't like it apparently! Does anyone know if I can buy a better Sparco/Recaro seat and fit it on the RS8 without too many issues? Or will I have all kinds of compatibility issues? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

Black Hole Motorsport's is returning to the general sim racing community, we have restored our forums and will have a full blown website to host community files such as mods, paints ect in the coming months. We also plan to return the BHMS sim awards to a functional status very soon, it will be directed at bringing BHMS back to the community resource that it was for so many years. We have A car-Gen 6 sets/dirt sets and setup discussions already on our forums for your consideration. We also have an SLM bumpstop article that everyone is welcome to read, our very own David Mercer wrote this a while back for Hot Rod mag. Also, we will be writing very technical articles in the coming weeks discussing car setups and what you can do to pick up speed in multiple forms of oval competition. Moreover, we will be starting periodic streams on race craft and car setup in the near future, hoping to bridge the gap for the guys just trying to start out and learn. We have a pro series championship and several good NPAS runs in our history and we hope to use that to the communities benefit. We welcome everyone to check out the forums, we will be restoring full site functionality fairly quick. We hope to be at full song by the end of the year. Best wishes to everyone at ISR, they do a great service to the sim racing community! @BHMS Team Owner Twitter @BlackHoleMS Forum.bh-motorsports.com https://www.facebook.com/BlackHoleMotorsports

SimCraft, Project YawMan Preview... Pricing Announced...
Sean DIYsim.com posted a topic in Sim Racing Rigs / Cockpit
Here is a sneak peak of our YawMan project. We just had a quick conversation and while we do not have an exact date of release for YawMan, we are quite close. As such, here is the Low Down! MSRP for the "YawMan" project will be $2,500 U.S. The First Ten will leave the SimCraft factory for $1,995.00!!!!!!! Who is ready to jump in line? Oversteer/Understeer translated through SimCraft motion technology is coming your way👍 There are thousands of Racers in the Sim community looking for proper, yet cost effective motion solutions. We heard them and can not wait to get this project to market! More Specs! Our base "YawMan" system will come with a 4" stroke actuator capable of 20 degrees total yaw. This equals 10 degrees left and 10 degrees Right. We will also offer an upgraded unit with a 6" stroke actuator for those who simply can not get enough Yaw in their lives! The 6" solution will be capable of 30 degrees total yaw or 15 degrees left and 15 degrees right and will add $200.00 to the price of the system. For reference, our 4" stroke actuator was utilized in the beta YawMan we were testing in the video. Are you ready to experience oversteer/understeer from your existing cockpit? YawMan is one of three new motion peripherals due out from SimCraft this year. This product is a yaw only motion device that will accept any static rig, thereby activating any simracing setup with the most important motion of all for motorsport: yaw. This project has been in development for some time, seen here is a peak at some behind the scenes testing of the 3rd gen (MKIII) prototype. -
New to sim racing, how do i get started with iRacing?
Nelson999 posted a topic in Getting Started In Sim Racing
Hey guys, i've ALWAYS wanted to do this kind of stuff but just never got around to it, finally i picked up a thrustmaster tx a couple of weeks ago and been enjoying it a ton on Project Cars on my Xbox. But what i really want to do is get into iRacing, and specifically i want to get Dirt and race some 410 Sprint Cars. Im picking up a capable PC from a friend today after work, so looking for you guys to point me in the right direction to get iRacing installed and running. I've seen members on here mention that you can find 3 month deals and such, where might i find a good deal on a membership? And do i need to get a steam account or should i just directly go through iRacing? Thanks for all the help, I'm a complete newbie to this kind of stuff, first time ever getting into gaming outside of XBOX -
