We’ve been talking about your videos on the iRacers Lounge podcast recently. We certainly appreciate your efforts and enjoy the videos. You put forward so far.
Oh really? I’ll have to check it out! Thanks a lot for the support, I appreciate it 😊
More iRacing videos soon ;)
The fact she did this all herself is so impressive. Great job! Even I needed more hands to help. That base is heavy the fact you held it while screwing it in is also impressive.
Thank you for recognizing this! Means a lot.
That wheelbase is super heavy haha but thankfully the mounting was easy so it made the whole process really fast!
Thank you for watching and for the support!
Amazing. Looks awesome. Looking forward to your future videos.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it :)
Those pedals are on another level sick setup😮👌🏾💪🏾
They really are! And thanks!! :)
Great job Sarah. And here I am still learning the basis of Sim racing XD on my DIY rig and G29
Thank you! I definitely feel lucky :)
Great kit. Good luck and victories in the races.
Thank you very much!! 🙌
Great setup. I am looking forward to seeing what you can do.
Thank you!! Appreciate it
Very Awesome setup!! I have the same screen too and I love it. Thanks for the "look-See", Happy iRacing!!!
Thank you so much! This monitor is amazing, was definitely a great choice.
Wow! Congratulations on your new sim rig Sarah! It looks absolutely amazing! Cheers to you :)
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it. I am lucky ☺️
@@SarahNocchi You're most welcome!
Cheers Sarah .... Your videos are amazing! 🤗
Thank you so much! Appreciate it 🙌
The active Pedal is really a gamechanger - the best SimRacing Gear so far
Truly is. Above anything I could imagine!
What a beautiful setup! and the rig is also very nice 👍🏎
Thank you 😊
Great upload. Love the rig setup
Thank you so much, appreciate it!
Dream setup right there!!
Definitely!! 🤩 Feeling very lucky ☺️
Awesome set up!!
Thank you!! 🙌
Now that is what call a really beautiful setup. Pleased for you. Wish I could afford something like that, but at my age, 66, and a pensioner 😄 I’ll just have to do my best with my Thrustmaster setup. Well done on putting that together all by yourself 👍. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you very much! I appreciate the comment and support :) I definitely feel lucky with this setup!
Dream setup right there. GG!
Truly is! Thanks for watching 😊
Looks awesome! ❤
Thank you!!
looks really sick, I wish had enough room for this setup. it's amazing.
Thanks!! Definitely all I could wish for and more! Very happy with it.
Hello... When I bought my first set of decent pedals [sprints] I thought my biggest improvement would come from the break peddle and although it did improve my braking a great deal. The biggest improvement by far came from the new throttle peddle. I became so smooth getting back to the throttle coming out of turns. I do believe it helped more than the brake,....CHEERS
Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing. I’ll definitely let you know if it’s the same for me! I feel like braking consistency is my main problem with my other pedals, but throttle could definitely make a difference too!
ive got a pair of the peddles and i love them
They are really awesome!
Wow those pedals look amazing!
They truly are. The difference was mind blowing!
@@SarahNocchi I can imagine. The switch to a direct drive wheel was a lot now you can have it for the pedals. So cool
Yes, definitely surpassed my expectations!
Awesome setup 🤩 Glad to see you're enjoying it!
I am loving it! The active pedals truly are a game changer. Thank you so much! ☺️
Going from the Fanatec DD1 to the Simucube 2 Pro or the Asetek Invicta is the upgrade path that I am considering. I have ready upgraded from the Fanatec pedals to the Asetek Invicta pedals, which also was a huge upgrade.
Since it’s a new rig take the opportunity in next videos to discuss about seat, steering and pedal position. Proper monitor fov, size, viewing height and distance if you can add too. Congrats on your new rig🎉😊
Great idea! Thanks for watching and for the suggestions :)
Hi Sarah, great idea. I think it's great to see a woman who is active in the sim racing sector. I found your post very interesting. Unfortunately, I'm not as well equipped as you yet. But you inspire me and I'm looking forward to more great contributions in the area of sim racing. Thanks
Thank you very much for watching and for the support! I am glad you find it interesting. I'll do my best to keep posting regularly! ;)
I like your editing. It’s actually pretty chill, idk how to explain it 🫡
Thank you! Really appreciate it :)
I really like the colour of the 80/20 profile, its about time SIM racing became a bit more fashionable.
Agree! I think the blue makes it awesome to look at!
Great rig, awesome video, keep out the great work. I want one. What type of motor do you have?
Simcube active brake pedal looks insane. I would love to try one. Looking forward to more iRacing vids. Have you ever tried iRacing in VR? nice vid thanks
It’s incredible. Above anything I could imagine honestly! More iRacing soon!!
No I haven’t done VR in iRacing yet, but considering for the future :)
Thanks for watching!
Nice rig.
Thanks!!
Your videos are awesome!!
Thank you so much, really appreciate it!
@@SarahNocchi i appreciate you too, cant wait for the miami video :)
Working on it as we speak 😉
@@SarahNocchi Haha so cool!!
And I'm practicing for an F1 23 sim competition tomorrow, I'm terrified 😬
You got this!! Good luck 🙌
Your rig looks great! The red anodised TR-One brackets on a blue rig would drive me crazy. Although you probably don't notice them while driving.
Thank you!! I do wish the brackets came in blue to match the TR160S color, but yes, not really noticeable when driving ;)
ive been using trackracer for a while great rig ! only think i dont like is the wheelbase mount ! but i am glad we hav simcore to solve it :D
What don't you like about the wheelbase mount?
Great review! I’m very interested how your experience with the Samsung Neo G9 was and if it will be your new standard vs the triple monitor setup - upcoming video perhaps?
Yes! Definitely planning a video to go over the details of the Neo G9 and compare it to my triple monitor setup ;)
That setup is so awesome 🤯🤯 Can't imagine how realistic is to drive sim now. Only thing that came to my mind that can increase that exp is VR 🤔🤔
It is truly unbelievable. So happy with it! I think motion would really add to the experience, but that will be for later haha. I will have to give another try to VR as I wasn't really a fan after my first experience with it.
@@SarahNocchi For the money, a Quest 3 is top notch.👍 Although, I do have a significant amount tied up in it now, after custom lens inserts, and a custom head strap with 10k ma battery and built in cooling fan ( Bo-Bo ) brand, I love it to bit's! I can even watch CZcams in VR. Such cool tech!!!! 👍👍💯
Some great hardware you got there. I remember seeing Daniel Morad haven them too, the Pedals. Next you go real GT3 racing then I guess haha. I love seeing you racing in Iracing. Can watch this all day long. I am a ACC guy and respect the Iracing a lot. Maybe I try it someday. My favorite car is the 296 GT3 they have this beauty too so ;)
Yes, amazing gear. Feeling so thankful and lucky!
Haha hopefully I end up in a GT3 someday :P
ACC is amazing too! Glad you enjoyed the iRacing videos. I'll be uploading more soon. Thank you so much for the comment and for watching!
@@SarahNocchi Yeah I think you got what it takes for GT3.
I like your F1 videos even I am not so much into F1 anymore. I still watch all your videos about it Sarah. Wish you all the best.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. All the best!
I highly recommend trying sim socks if you haven't already. Huge difference with pedal control.
I don’t have sim socks but I use socks with grips ;)
How do you like the 57" ultrawide vs the triple monitor rig you have? Can you see yourself loving this monitor over the triples? I am debating adding one to my rig, I mostly use VR which for me is the best for immersion, but want to have a monitor option available for my motion rig for myself and others as well.
Great setup! In your last video you mentioned you needed to buy longer screws to mount the monitor, did you have the specific size screws?
I can find the label anymore 😣 however for sure you need to get metric ones, and I am pretty positive they were 18mm long
Great review Sarah. I just have one question : Have you thought about reviewing sim rigs from other brands like Sim Lab too?
That's one heck of a setup!! 💯👍👍 Any plans of getting a wind system for either rig? I bought myself one this time last year and very happy I did! It's a great way of staying cool while driving, especially in the summer with my VR set on. Cheers Sarah. 😊
Thanks!!
I have been looking at them but didn’t know anyone who tried it so wasn’t sure if it was worth it. Good to hear you love it. I’ll definitely consider adding one ;)
@@SarahNocchi Every time I mention a legit company name, youtube removes it!! So frustrating. If you like I can email you the info? Not sure if you saw the one I sent you several months back about a place in Montreal doing high end full motion rigs??
@@SarahNocchi I'll try it this way. I got mine from R-e-d i-o-n out of Belgium almost cost me $400 after exchange, etc, etc... I've since seen the same systems on Al-i-ex-p-r-e-ss for less. The amount of 💰 us sim add-ic-ts are willing to spend on this hobby! 🤑 😉
nice
Thanks!
I wish my wife would buy a rig like that. I’d be in heaven. Congrats
Looking to get that TR seat for my rig. Curious as to how comfortable it is?
Try VR with this setup in next video 😊
You've no excuse now! all excellent equipment, i'm jealous of those pedals 😂. What's next on your list? buttkickers led shift lights, button boxes? Once you start buying it's hard to stop... Your driving around Imola also looked great, you look quick!
Whatever gets sent for free 😂
Haha yes, I definitely need to keep working on improving my skills now!
I will be adding a buttkicker for sure, and a dash! Will be extremely happy with that already!
@@SIMRIG412 if you are so upset/jealous, why do you even bother opening my videos? 🤔
That 57 inch monitor looks amazing. I might sell my 49 inch and get the 57 Inch.
Simucube gear looking good.
Keep up the good work
The main reason for 57in is the height of the screen. Immersion is great, I love it.
Thanks for watching! ☺️
@@SarahNocchi Yeah thats the reason i want to sell my 49 inch, the height is short, feels cramped.
I may have missed this, but when adjusting the settings for the pressure / feedback on the pedals, are you able to create profiles for individual users? I have a feeling that my husband and I may have different tolerances and preferences.
Yes! You can create as many profiles as you want ;) it’s mostly so that you can have different profiles for different cars. But you can totally create them for different people of even for different track conditions ;)
How much was the whole setup? Chassis, wheel, pedals, shifter, seat, PC, monitor, etc?
Great set-up! do you know if it's possible to use only one active pedal (break) + 2 simucube passive (throttle and clucth) ?
Thank you so much! Yes you can! I am using the passive throttle as my clutch currently. You can select what each pedal is in the software ;)
@@SarahNocchi ok great :) but are you sure that you can plug two passive pedals at the same time and manage them throught the active one?
I did test those pedals at the Europe Sim Expo 2024 and it was insane in compare to my Fanatec V3 pedals!! Price also, but I dont have to worry, im on Ps5 😂 Were do you live?
I have the V3 as well on my other rig and it’s not even comparable haha these are so amazing!
I live in Arizona! :)
those pedals are every sim racer dream! How much are the pedals?!
Do you think the throttle pedal is worth the cost?
Im building the same set up as you, Same chassis and everything bought im thinking in buying those pedals cant decided what pedals to buy, You think they worth the money?
Awesome, congrats!
It depends how much time you will spend in the rig and what your objectives are. But they are a true game changer. I don't think I will ever go back to anything else from now on. The realism and precision that you get is so much better than anything else on the market right now. Really helps with consistency. I would definitely think it is worth it for the brake pedal. The throttle is nice to add to the realism and immersion, but not necessary.
I’m a bit embarrassed to say but I own the active pedals but don’t really know how I’m supposed to react to when I feel ABS? Am I supposed to let off brake when I feel ABS? Or like pump the brakes then?
If you feel the ABS activating, don’t pump.
Do you stream too my friend? I would like to see you driving in the simulator too :)
Not yet, but I will be posting more gameplay videos soon ;)
Congratulations!! lady...the real question is...did you fix the cables? :P
Thank you!
And umm.. sure 😜
What sim rig where ? Only noticed Sarah 😍
4K 120 Hz or 1440p 240 Hz ?
The reason I have so many cables is because I have 2 pedals. Hello,
lol. Maybe you try with just one 😂😅
Shame about the iRacing announcement but great job on the rig.
Noooooooooooooooooochhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiivrooooom
You know I got an amazing plan. You go and have amazing girls night out and I come over and in meantime "warm up" your gear for you. And you won't get away for just road/oval racing in iRacing. You got to try some just so unforgiving rallying, baja trucks or drifting in BeamNG. Giga gear. Good luck to your journey into madness. 🤭
Force Feedback in Pedal? :O
Yes! A total game changer!
@@SarahNocchi This looks like a lot of fun :)
Which do you prefer, 57" single screen or triple screen?
Hard to tell at this point, but I have to say it’s nice not to have any cut! Triples may still be a bit more immersive because they wrap the rig more, but single feels very natural and realistic
Now you just need a motion system and it will be completed-
Enjoy now it's time to make videos Everyday
I wish! Haha
Maybe one day if I can make CZcams my main job ;)
@@SarahNocchi you should do it a lot
Must have cost a fortune!
thats a lovely accent you have...new jersey?
Thanks! I am from France!
@@SarahNocchi Viva La France... 👍
lol New Jersey what the fuck is wrong with you 🤣
First😅
Jealousy... 😭
I'm not a hater, but come on Simucube, what's the criteria for receiving free gear because I follow a lot of talented Sim content creators with struggling setups that are really passionate about what they do, and majority get know attention from Simucube at all. Not saying that this woman doesn't deserve the sponsorship, this is amazing for Sarah, I'm just saying.
You know why
Because I'm here watching even though idgaf about simucube active pedals...
Criteria = azz and tiddies
Be a woman with a nice body,and wear skin tight clothing and show ur body.. bunch of simps tbh… kinda lost respect for simucube with this one
I do feel extremely lucky to have partnered with Simucube, and I do agree that a lot of people would deserve this. I just want to point out that there is more to it than what most people think. It’s also about existing following (other platforms), and quality of content. I have the same passion if not more than most, and I invest a lot of time and effort in creating content. Women are also highly underrepresented in racing in general, and often give up because of all the misogynistic comments. Thankfully on this platform I have gotten much more support than I could ask for, but I feel sorry that some people come to conclusions too quickly and misjudge the reality
Am I the only one who wishes the active pedal was solid black? The orange just stands out too much
I do like the orange a lot, I think it makes it more unique. But I have to say if you have other colors it can clash a bit. I think the blue and orange looks awesome on my rig, but I also have some red on the wheelbase mount so it’s becoming too much.
Black? I’d take a pink one if it was 1/2 price!
I actually love the orange so much that I got the Sim Core in SC orange pedals!
Please try my Simucube Pro 2 iRacing profile - Zennith Racing. Hope you’ll like at as a real life racer.
I’ll check it out! Thank you 😃
