- I got to pick out my favorite SIM drifting setup and this is what I chose!
I explain why I believe the Playseat Trophy is the ultimate sim drifting seat, and show how well it pairs up with the Simagic Alpha Mini direct drive steering wheel.
Seat: Playseat Trophy with shifter and handbrake base
Steering wheel base: Simagic Alpha Mini
Steering wheel: Simagic GT1
Pedals: Simagic P2000-R
Shifter: Simagic Sequential Shifter Q1
Handbrake: Royal Simulation
Simulation software: Assetto Corsa
Check out www.playseat.com and www.simagic.com for the above products!
A big thanks to Playseat for letting me experience how their seats are made, and to www.sim-racing.no/ for supplying the Simagic products.

"Boys never grow up, their toys just get bigger and more expensive."
As someone who has spent over $2000 on my simrig, I can never disagree with this phrase. Glad you enjoy your setup.
I had no idea how much sim drifting helped build skills until winter came after a whole summer of sim drifting. The muscle memory was unreal and learning how to stall a drift when you're about to spin out was very valuable to me.
Thanks for supporting our sim racing hobby. I hope it gets you lots of joy and encourages others to do the same
anyone else seeing the transition happening? simracers to real cars and real drifters into sims XD the flipening
@@teknastyk yep it has been happening a lot over the past 2 years ❤️
@@teknastyk there's one prodigy on my local scene, 15years old on amateur level right now. He's trained mainly on simulator, 1 week preparation on real car, got position 4 on his first drift event
@@LaurenceDusoswa yes man. It is absolutely crazy to see. Been following some of you guys for years now ever since my gt6 days.. watching jardier and jimmy for example going into real cars was just as crazy as seeing some guys come into simulators. coughcoughRossi :P fun times indeed.
edit: will be fun to see where all this is going. Hopefully sim drifting reaches olimpics one day
@@spaceriot23 wow. nice. theres been some of those lately.. and i mean like flawlesly transitioning from sim to real drift. See that clip of a guy test driving james dean's driftcar. I literaly had goosebumps when he floored it :D
Would love to give it a shot one day, if my time will allow it. not for competition but just to see for comparison. My guess is id probably end up the same as boosted media. selling my car because id be affraid those just a taps would cost me to much. Ingame is nice. IRL, might become expensive and problematic af.
I just booked a flight to come back over and try out the new sim. Super stoked for you my friend. Enjoy!
Would love to see some more casual sim drift videos in the future 👍
The Simagic gear is really good stuff. I have been sim racing for a long time and finally upgraded to a Alpha Mini.. from box to racing in literally 10 minutes.
I dont know what it is with simracing/gear but.. seeing grown man smile like lil boys on Christmas just makes my day :D
Just got my first Sim Rig a few months ago, been in absolute love with it. Can't wait to follow your sim racing, good luck and as always congrats on everything you do!
Thank you!
@@FredricAasbo I got a wheel for a year ago and I got it because of you
Fantastic video:
My drifting neighbour Harald Andre recommended your channel, and I ended up selling my almost "new" racing seat Svive D1.
The Playseat Trophy was ordered today, and I can`t wait to receive it. I think the Playseat Trophy was is quite expensive, but it will bring several hours of fun for me and my grandchild, and maybe even for my drifting neighbour Harald Andre from Lillesand :-)
My plan is to start saving money for the #Logitech Pro wheel and pedals to try out the DD and have a lot more "real" feeling than with my G923 on my #Xbox Series X.
I really hope the Playseat Trophy will feel a lot like the Playseat Challenge, I love my old Playseat Challenge ;-)
🤞
The quality looksss crazyyyyyyy
Insane rig man 👏👏
Can’t wait too catch up with you and licup ✌️
Wow !!!! Congrats!!! 💯💯💯
Looks like an awesome setup
Can't wait to receive my Trophy seat!
I have the simagic alpha mini and honestly swear by it. Slowly getting all the bits and pieces. Getting that exact seat next ahaha
Thats so sick bro
Thank you - I've been wondering what to do with that strap ever since I got the Trophy - there is nothing in the manual about it and it's not even listed as one of the parts.
I've just installed it the way it is on your seat and it was an instant improvement to comfort.
So hyped to get laps with you sometime soon! 🙏 Let's run Ebisu tracks!
You need to adjust your FOV and seating (in game) position a little, but other than that, looks like a great setup.
HI there! Awesome Build! Was wondering, how well does the playseat handle the 10NM from the Alpha Mini? Did you had to get any attachments to secure the direct drive base to the cockpit as well with the pedals?
Hell yes man!
finally u can learn to not left-foot brake every single transition. props!
i have just a basic sim setup but i love it its the playseat evolution actifit logitech g29 logitech pedals and logitech shifter but i have to get a shifter mount ur a good drifter❤
Where you get that awsome monitor stand dude??
Nice Video btw!
Anyone know what monitor/pc stand he's using? They one on Playseat's website looks way different and got pretty bad reviews on Amazon. Aasbo's looks a lot sturdier.
Lækkert! Kjørte også LFS back in the days :D
Do you think the VRS wheel base and Pedals is good for this? Or do you think that's overkill and I'm better off with the Alpha Mini and some other lesser pedals?
Hi from Portugal, can you tell me if the shifter mount is sold or was made just for you
Thanks and enjoy it
bro your living my dream i wish i hade a sim
Hi, can you tell me where did you got the shifter mount please?
Den plate til håndbrekk og gir, følger den med setet eller er det ekstrautstyr? Har sett litt på hjemmesiden dems, men finner den ikke. Nydelig oppsett anyway :D
Awesome video. Is the shifter plate compatible with the Thrusmaster TH8A?
Can't you directly mount the base to the plate of the trophy? Or it has to be done through the side mounts like shown on the video?
Can someone tell what monitor is he using?? Looks soo big.
Mine didn't come with that back strap. I wonder if I have an earlier revision or something. My unit has a couple of velcro pieces that connect together, which is much less elegant than what yours looks like it has in it's place
Hi, could you tell me where you got the shifter and handbrake base please? They are like rocking horse poop. Thanks
Could you post your settings for the Simagic wheel and Assetto Corsa?
Could you make video to see you settings for the wheel and game?
When I look at the playseat on the website I don’t see the shifter mount how do I add it?
Man your small shelf idea is killer.
I just ordered the play seat trophy, and I planned on using it for FPS games as well. Figuring out what to do with the mouse was stumping me
Thank you for that video. I have a simrig like that, i need a replacement seat for that, and it is not available here in Canada. Would you have a contact at the Playseat factory for i to be able to order replacement parts ?
so dope
Hey man.
I realy like your setup
Im going to build one like this for myself.
Where did you get shifter and handbrake holder? Can you provide with amazon link or where to buy, i live in europe?
You are my last hope for this issue) Did you ever manage to make the Simagic Alpha Mini work in Project cars 2 or Automobilista 2? It never works for me. Very difficult to even assign and calibrate, have to reduce the rotation to tiny angles. But even after that, in game there is 0 movement from the wheel. All the buttons are recognized, even axis of the paddles, but not the rotational axis. Tried with all settings I could on the Simagic software and in game, same result in both of those games.
Trying to mimic a similar rig, but can't tell what monitor mount that is with integrated PC shelf. Care to share?
Rig is perfect, small rigid and comfy, but that shifter mount is killing me. The plate protrudes inside the seating space and pokes my right leg and it is annoying and hurts my leg after long sessions. Couldn't it be more outside of the seating space?
Seems like Christmas came earlier this year!
What's the name of that TV/Monitor stand?
It looks like theres no movement in the shift plate what so ever with the hand brake and sequential.
What about the pedal plate and wheelbase?
Wow you worked with Playseat on the shift plate thats so cool.
Did the pedal plate come with the pedals or is that from Playseat too?
Because Will from Boosted Media said the most flex comes from the standard pedal plate.
Did you use all 10nm any flex?
i would love to know the name of that monitor stand! pls let me know :)
This setup looks amazing! I just got this cockpit on sale for 500e instead of 600 and in this price point for a cockpit that has a seat it was by far my favourite option. I was surprised by how light but sturdy and heavy duty it was. On one hand feels indestructible but on other hand I can move it around.
Personally think 600 and even 500e is bit much for this at that price in Europe you can get other as good or even more flexible options like GT Omega Titan or offbrands in every country (at least Norway and Poland has couple).
The only thing it has over others is the size and lightweight, while being sturdy for Direct Drive.
Other than that adjustibility wise and flexibility and comfort wise GT Omega TItan is nicer at same price point.
Especially the steering wheel position in Playseat Trophy is too high and you cannot adjust it that much.
I own both Playseat Trophy in Rouge (got one from Outlet/Return for 450e) and GT Omega Titan XL (on sale for 450e), if you get more space and let others use the cockpit I recommend getting the Titan.
If you need space and only you will be using it then Trophy would be good, but still price point remains something to be desired for something that does not have proper seat and nouanced adjustment, only fabricm velcro seat and hard adjustments.
It will probably be discounted again on Black Friday to get it under 400-450e or get one from outlet, it being a major brand like Playseat and in many retailers shops you can count on discounts coming some day.
Still I agree it's still very good option for sim racing for anyone that is even an advanced user.
I only got both cause I got one for my other place and didn't have that much space in apartment, so when I am not using it I hang it on the wall :).
Loving it with PSVR2 in GT7 and DD Pro GT.
Hey, really sick setup man, but i would recommend to launch assetto corsa thru content manager. Just a faster and more optimized way to play the game, the csp addon within content manager is also recommended😅❤
What monitor is that?? Does it work with GT7?
I am curious about the product name of the tv stand.
Do u travel bk and forth to Norway in between rounds?!!
Which monitor and monitor stand is this?
Would like to see your progress and journey in sim racing!
WHAT’S THE MONITOR STAND BRAND??
This is the 49" Monitor,right?
I can't help but think that freddy looks like a kid on christmas morning when he was unboxing the wheel and everything
Hvor kan man kjøpe kapsene som du har på
What monitor mount is that?
I am curious about the size of the tv.
Just think of the amount of practice laps you can get in just an hour on an FD track compared to the handful of laps you normally get on a comp weekend lol.
how many inch tv is it?
Just thought of this while watching your video, would you be up to doing a meet & drift with fans maybe during off season on Assetto?
I'd love to do that!
@@FredricAasbo Thanks Fredric, honestly just you agreeing is like a dream come true!
name of monitor stand pls :3
The only concern I have is installing isolators for a haptic transducer. Where would they go underneath the main unit? Clean set up for sure
I'm not too familiar with those units but can they be clamped on?
Have you ever thought about getting HP reverb VR instead of a bigger screen from more immersion? Aswell as maybe using some subwoofer and a good speaker to actually feel the vibration as if you were in an actual car
Gets some Buttkickers or any kind of transducer with SimHub or SimeVibe. It’s much better then a subwoofer.
@@OhItsThat thank you for this suggestion, I’ll definitely try those out instead of a giant subwoofer I was thinking of making
How much does a setup like this run
@Fredric Aasbø Thanks for that video. I also have a Playseat trophy rig, and i like it ;) Where is located their factory ?
Nice! It’s in Doetinchem in the Netherlands 😃
Glad more pro pilots comes to Sim-Racing! And Simagic is a damn good choice of hardware for such purpose!
Also VR setup - highly recommended for anyone who does racing, both real and virtual. In VR your FOV is fixed and track perception is close to real, while with monitor it just depends on a lot of factors.
P.S. Won't comment playseat choice for this build, understanding it's your sponsors )
How much did it cost
Okay I honestly thought you were Vanilla Ice for about good 5mins and then I saw your TH-cam name haha
Monitor??
Sheesh🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mantorp

its funny how my simrig im sitting in i bougth of you back in 2020 or 2019
Hvor mye koster en hel sånn rig for en normal normann?😂
Rundt 6000 for stolen og 20.000 for ratt, ratt-base, pedaler, håndbrekk og gir. PC og skjerm i tillegg.
une fourchette de prix , svp , please
adjust your seating position in-game and maybe tweak your FOV and you'll be GOLDEN
As a Console Player who just eventually one Day Could maybe Buying a Gaming PC..Simagic is no Option for me
You should narrow your field of view a fair bit to get true immersion. There's calculations you can do but an easy technique I use is to cross refference the size of your hand on your wheel to the one in the game. Then adjust your in game seating position so that your hands and steering wheel obscure the ones in game. Lastly, turn off the steering wheel in the graphics settings and you'll have true immersion. Hope this helps!
fette nice
The Trophy is a very underrated rig. All the 8020 guys don’t take it seriously but it can actually hold high end wheels and pedals pretty easily, but is also portable and light and looks awesome.
Exactly!
Hey man, don’t suppose you know if that Simagic base would have mounted without the brackets?
@@rover1374 I tried a couple of different ways but I think you might have to drill a couple of new holes if you want to mount it flat
@@FredricAasbo ah damn, thanks for that. I’m looking at this base but $120 for the brackets is a bit much!
7:00 shit sometimes I need straps and airbags in my sim seat when I fall out of my cockpit...cuz I'm drinkin and schmokin, bois.
