my first sim racing injury

[u/SWEATSHORTMIZZY]

turn one at VIR, two wide, i stomp my race spec birks into my loadcell utilizing all 200kg its rated for (im a beast). my race spec birk clad foot blasts my poor brake pedal out of my wood rig proving how powerful i am. i hear the all too familiar sound of a hole being punched into drywall, my race spec clad birk foot collapses under the pressure and folds into my clutch pedal. boys i am limping right now what the hell i was just playing a game

obligatory rig set up in last pic. happy holidays! ill be back iracing, i will be back.

Bro you used wood screws to secure a 200kg load cell? Drill some holes and use some bolts, washers, and nuts.

I was looking at the screws as well, they look like hardware store sheet metal screws.

Order 12.9 grade zinc plated bolts.

Dear god, is he hanging the rig from the ceiling by the bolts for the pedals?

I just use 12.9 zinc bolts for everything.
