My Dad is a huge F1 fan, lives in New Jersey and has a full-size 2008 Renault F1 show-car. It is just the shell plus steering wheel but I can still fit comfortably in the cockpit. Aim is to use the Fanatec mounting system with an F1 wheel and race pedals connected to an iRacing platform.

Thoughts on the project, platform & display options? Should I embrace a VR headset or go for a triple monitor setup over the monocoque?

Also, the car could possibly generate revenue from renting it all out for promotional events. Wrapping the car in a brand’s design costs just under $4k, so with transportation, setup and insurance costs, one event could cover most of the build?

I would document the process as part of a new F1 blog I am launching at the end of this month. Details on that soon as it caters to the Fishbowl community so would love to get people involved in that too.

If anyone wanted to be more involved, I’m not in need of financial support so the more enthusiasts the better!

You could do an ultra wide curved monitor instead of a triple. Some games are better at VR than others. Not sure what game you’re aiming for, but I don’t play F1 202X, so I can’t comment on that.
