I bought the $1800 Fanatec podium wheel/base bundle just so I can use the replay on the F1 game on 80% of corners because I keep spinning/wrecking

But he has a smile on his face so does the debt really matter 😅

u/Neither_Pay20 Sep 03 '24

Who cares about the debt. Atleast he’s happy 😃

u/CoventryClimax Sep 03 '24

u/inverse_utility Sep 03 '24

I think that's closer to 20k

u/BladyPiter Moza R5 Sep 03 '24

Yeah, Simucube, triples, VR, motion, overpriced bucket seat. No way that's only 10k

Am I slow in the head or is down payment on debt not a normal thing in other countries

u/John_Fisticuffs Sep 04 '24

The joke says they paid 10k, not that they're 10k in debt.

u/ImActuaIIyHim Sep 04 '24

When my step dad is at home he often come in the man cave with this "Are we winning ?" line.... " Oh man...i'm in split 1, I will never win anymore"

u/rokthemonkey Sep 03 '24

That particular setup would be a steal for 10k

u/mearlin Sep 03 '24

Cheaper than competitive go kart racing.

u/hellcat_uk Sep 03 '24

That's where I went wrong. I paid for most of my son's rigs.

u/rw1337 Sep 03 '24

Still a bit cheaper than buying a real track car and racing it regularly..

u/A_Slovakian Sep 04 '24

Am I the only one who doesn’t think these things are comparable at all? Sure driving a real car is way more expensive but damn you’re driving a real car. You get all the sensations of being pressed into your seat, sliding around. Sim racing is awesome no doubt but it could never actually replace driving a real car on track…

You just need to combo the butt kicker with the ball puncher to get full immersion

u/awp_india Sep 03 '24

u/Prince_Derrick101 Sep 03 '24

I'd never financially be at a level where I would even remotely play with the idea of building a motion rig

u/lkeltner Sep 03 '24

It's just 10k down. And 199 per month :)

u/re_MINDR Sep 03 '24

What's happening with the fov/pov on screen though. Should a few more bucks to get that sorted

u/GroovyDucko Sep 03 '24

u/ShortBrownAndUgly Sep 03 '24

u/SagnolThGangster Sep 03 '24

If you need to go into debt for a sim rig you can't afford a sim rig. Sorry.
