About
The design challenge was to develop a simple to construct sim rig, which is very strong, in-expensive and simple to produce with basic wood working tools and knowledge.
This design can be used for conventional wheels sold by Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec & direct drive wheel bases like Accuforce, OSW & Fanatec Podium.
This sim rig is made from inexpensive construction lumber available anywhere in the world with some custom joining wood plates to make assembly strong & quick.
Approximate build cost
This is hard to define because sim racer live all of the world, in Canada the total would be less than $75CDN if you use inexpensive construction timber & 1/2" (9mm) MDF from your local DIY store.
STEP 1 - Ordering
Choose the Plans, Digital or Physical.

- In Europe they are called 47mm * 100mm construction but the typical actual size is 45mm * 95mm
- Cutting drawings for each piece of lumber
- Full scale drawings for all the custom joining plates
- Optional CNC files for all the custom joining plates
Your Shopping list items include:
- Wood 2X4's, roughly 3m (16ft)
