- Take a look at what is possibly the best and most cost-effective SimRacing setup for F122 and Gran Turismo 7 (GT7) on the Playstation 5 (PS5).
In this video I'll cover the full Sim Racing Setup including the Trak Racer TR8 Pro Cockpit, the Fanatec GT DD Pro and my initial thoughts on these products after a month of use.
I'll be covering a lot of F122 content on the PS5 upon release and streaming F122 as well as Gran Turismo 7 in the near future.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help as much as I can.

Let me know if anyone has any questions! Hope the video is helpful :)
Hi. I’ve bought the exact same setup. Can you tell me how you attached the AOC monitor to the single stand plate. Did you have to pull off the back of the monitor to access larger screw points? I have the universal monitor attachment. But don’t seem to have the right screws
@@danielsimpson8385 Hi Daniel, I believe I bought separate screws for this (M8 bolts I believe they're called), but I don't have a separate attachment, I just used the single monitor stand that comes with the rig and screwed straight into the back of the standard monitor backing plate - hope that helps!
@@MattWildbore perfect. I thought so, thanks for the quick reply. 🙏🏽
How did you mount the GT DD Pro to the Tr8 just recieved my tr8 and was wondering
Let’s hope PlayStation does updates soon for widescreen scalings, would be a major update for the sim community. 🤞🏽
For sure man! Can’t wait until that happens… if it ever will?!
Kewl set up pal. Loving the videos
Thanks Wayne! :)
Nice review, the TR8 pro is my next rig so compact
Thanks Sam! Nice! Hope you enjoy it when you get it :)
@@MattWildbore fosho! I have a quick question, can I mouth a Buttkicker gamer pro on this TR8 pro?
@@SampaosLim510 Honestly, I’m not too sure, I’ve not had any experience with the buttkickers, but I believe the fitting is fairly universal to a cylinder tube, so I would imagine you could fit it on - although there isnt a huge amount of room under the seat.
Great setup mate 👍
Thanks Ryan!
Interesting video Matt, even though it all went over my head...😵💫
Haha thanks David! I swear it’s all pretty simple. Mostly plug in and drive!
Great video bud dont know if you know but in most game settings you can adjust the fov in the settings
Nice review. However I did notice your seat mount is in reverse. The taller end should be in front.
Thanks! Ahh yes, you are correct, I best get that swapped around - good to have an eagle-eyed viewer watching 😂
Your cockpit is very solid for the kind of base you have, no complaints there. Where you could improve without upgrading or spending money would be maybe adjusting where your monitor sits. If you could, it would be worth it to essentially put that monitor right over top of your CSL DD
Thanks and yes, that’s a good point, I think I can turn the mount around so it’s closer to the wheel base, thanks for the tip!
Hi. I’ve bought the exact same setup. Can you tell me how you attached the AOC monitor to the single stand plate. Did you have to pull off the back of the monitor to access larger screw points?
I did notice...but that's okay, I've had a few go's on it! 👌🏻
Damn guys… she found it!
Nice set up Matt.
Thanks Daran! All the gear, no idea 😂
It won’t be long before your battling with Tyler and his crew!!
@@darandavison1117 haha yeah probably!
Damn this is a propper setup!
Haha, cheers man!
Looks great , howerver seeing the wheelbase mounted from the bottom and not from the sides feels not the perfect option
Side mounts are for the Podium based
Looks quite weird but its a solid rig mate! 🔥😎
u can flip the wheel bracket make the steering wheel lower. The monitor plate could be flipped also to make the screen closer to u.
Ah amazing, thanks for the comment - that's interesting - might have to look into that, especially with the monitor!
@@MattWildbore btw how did you mount your monitor? I just got that integrated stand and the plate that came with it had huge holes in it/
@@tktk6927 I think I had to get some additional large washers to cover the diameter of the holes. Will double check and let you know :)
@@tktk6927 it comes with 4 extended brackets, it's a pain to put together but worth it
@@tktk6927 Hello, does the CSL DD fit inside the "U" shaped wheel plate when it is flipped ? Or is the CSL DD too big ?
I have hoplite s8 infinity, very similar
What was the total cost of importing all this? If you have issue's do you have to send it back to Fanatec? If so what are the costs of exporting and then importing back to the UK?
Hey, there was no import cost, it was included in the price for Fanatec gear and TrakRacer is UK-based anyway.
I’m not too sure on the cost of exporting it out if it’s faulty as I haven’t sent anything. I would however note Fanatec’s customer service isn’t the greatest, but their products seem to be pretty well built and I haven’t had any real problems.
Hope that’s of some help! :)
Would you happen to know TR makes a triple monitor attachment to goes on the side of the monitor stand you have there?
I think they do, but it’s a separate item that stands off the rig and on the floor
Just wanted to ask if you had any issue with your monitor, does it stretch the screen and does your ps5 support a 34 inch monitor
Yes, there is some screen stretch unfortunately as consoles don’t support ultrawides yet
Wide screen isnt support by GT7.. or is it?
Hello Matt, I would like to know how much the TR8 pro weighs without the screen please ? I would like to know if it can be easily moved from my living room where is the large TV to another room where I will stow it when I will not drive. Thank you !
Hey Lenso, it’s pretty heavy at 80-90kg. Although it’s fairly compact and slim. It has rubber feet on the bottom so I’d maybe look if you can get some caster wheels for it maybe?
@@MattWildbore Yes if you can take a look if caster wheels can be screwed to the rubbers if they are stiff enough ? Thank you. Otherwise I will have to look at other rigs that are 60 centimeters wide to pass doors as the tr8 pro does and which are compatible with caster wheels. The problem is that aluminum profile rigs looks too wide to pass doors.
@@lensoprezole5322 You just need to look on their website for the specs
@@MattWildbore Yes I just did and they are 75 cm wide.
Hello, do you think that the csl dd base can be mounted by it's top ? Under the metal plate mount. Because in your video the wheel is really too high and I would like to know if I can install mine way lower than yours. Thank you.
There are no screw holes on the top,
So it would have to be mounted upside down which I’m not sure if you can do due to the calibration. Maybe have to check with Fanatec
@@MattWildbore I think the solution is to flip the wheel bracket. Thanks for your quick replies.
@@lensoprezole5322 yes, I would imagine that would work, but would be very low
@@lensoprezole5322 Curious if you tried flipping the wheel bracket. Did it work and was it more comfortable?
I hope you figured out seat mounts were on the wrong side of seat,
I did!
Do you go to Hull karting?
Yes, got quite a few videos on the channel at Hull Karting :)
you have installed the seat mounting brackets the wrong way.
I know haha, someone else pointed that out, I’ve flipped them now :)
@@MattWildbore 👍👍
Was gonna say. I noticed on another vid, someone did that too. Nice position you'll have now tho! 😉
Your seat brackets are around the wrong way...tall section goes to the front. ;)
I know 😂 all fixed now
Just put a false wall next to it and paint it orange. It’ll keep out the window light too. 😂
Haha, that sir, is a great idea 😂
load up some assetto corsa competizione, cracking game.
Yeah man! I have that downloaded, only played an hour or so of it. Need to put some time into it. The cars sound amazing on ACC!
@@MattWildbore a great game to get into, the competitive scene is growing so fast. try getting yourself into some leagues for the best experience, or try LFM for more casual stuff.
@@Tom-mh6cy Is the competitive side on PS5 too? I know it's big on PC, but not heard great things about the online on the consoles?
what screen do you play on ps5?
Mentioned in the video and link in description dude :)
@@MattWildbore sorry I'm speak french, not english :/.
Screen please ?
@@baptistecadou5227 That’s no problem :) the monitor is: AOC AGON CU34G3S - 34 Inch QHD Curved Gaming Monitor
Hey mate, how do you run the 34” monitor on ps5? Is the screen stretched? If so, is it noticeable?
@@jackwillsracing Hello, yes it stretches unfortunately, consoles don’t support extra wide displays. It’s just something I’ve got use to now. Looks odd at first, but quite immersive when you’re on the rig
I think you need to flip the SEAT Bracket bro, I think you got it wrong.
Yeah I noticed and it’s flipped the right way now 😊
How tall are you?
5ft 8
We're you in formula 2
No, unfortunately I was not in F2
A Sim and the PS5 is as 1 + 1 = 3
Don't waste your time watching the video then 👍
