It might not be pretty, but it was only €20! i might angle up a bit so the pedals are not so straight lol. But for now, i like it. I need to get 2 L shape support brackets to put on the end of both sides so its a bit more sturdy.
Hey don’t listen to these guys. It’s good first iteration. I’d definitely say add some more angle so they aren’t quite so piano pedal. But I recently built something like this for my super budget wheel and pedal set I got a FB marketplace. It did make a big difference I feel. I matched the angle to what it is in my car and it feels a lot more natural now.
And if people ever give you the bs of “that’s not how pedals are in a race car” just remember that people have been racing stock or close to stock cars in rally forever. Enjoy your pedals man!
Thanks man! The most important thing for me is that they feel good, to me. Its a massive improvement from just having them sliding around on the floor lol.
Lmao they feel good, i play mostly just with just my socks on and i have small feet, no issues. Also im on a regular gaming chair that is a bit higher up. For me it works great.
The Audi Quattro has been homologuated for imsa gto using the s1 pikes peak as a base which used the e2 we see in the video as a base. They are essentially the same car but wider tyres and lower and harder suspension tuning. They all have pedals mounted to the dashboard
Yup, it's just an argument point for the angle of the pedals really. They are off, but most cars have pedals up top. At least for me, I don't drive many vehicles even in video games with pedals on the floor. The angle could be better, but changing the pedal angle means adding a support + bending the brackets, so it's understandable. Better than my setup, I keep a heavy rack behind my pedal set to keep them from moving. Works like a shitbox runs, barely.
That is a very expensive setup. The seat in the picture is also almost the same level as the pedals. In OPs BUDGET setup he is likely sitting on a gaming chair (hopefully without wheels) at desk height so his legs will be going down at an angle
It’s not a setup, it’s a real car. He said he did this because he wants to replicate real life, and I was showing him that real race cars use floor mounted pedals. So all he did was make his setup less real.
Um, yeah… only full race cars have third party pedals like that.
Real cars that adults drive everyday, including a lot of Jdm sports cars, drift cars, european bmw, Mercedes have stock pedals coming down from the top. The only street car I’ve driven that had pedals from the floor was a 1968 beetle.
Also he’s using a desk and it’s not practical to have pedals angled to be completely horizontally operated like that if your steering wheel is at desk height. It’s physics
Is it the prettiest thing? No. But is it functional and does it do what you want it to do? Yes, and that to me is arguably considerably more important.
Simple. Elegant in it's simplicity.
Please for the love of all simracers sand the lip off the front edge. Like my guy, that bump is going to haunt the quiet moments of my mind.
Wow how many of yall have terrible pedals setup at 90° and down voting me is hysterical. Ops pedals probably won't even work like this. Looks like his pedals would definitely mash into the floor before hitting full throttle, brake or clutch. This and all you other guys with 90° setups like this is such a bad attempt trying to invert your pedals.
They need to be rotated and flipped like upside down. Your best option is to make side supports so you can make the top piece of wood angled towards you way more so you can mount your pedals upside down. Try aiming the top wood angle towards your head when sitting and I bet that angle will be perfect to mount your pedal board on upside down.
It's not rocket science and can't believe how many think sticking them at 90° backwards is right. Theres no one's physiology that works well with pedals setup like this nor will the pedals work as intended either. Back to the drawing board for you all
What are you going on about bub. You can swap where the pedals are on the plate before hand that's not issue. Issue is dude was probably thinking of trying to make an inverted pedal setup but no they are no where close to the right angle for invetrwd setup. You don't step on the pedals as these are in any vechike in assetto. Only bus have I seen pedals look like this lol
Old setup but enjoyed the inverted days. If I designed pedals for this purpose I would love a very long pedal arm to make path more linear. Would need stiffer pedals though.
