My Sim Rig!
My own sim rig is a continuous evolution that develops step by step. I, too, started "small. When I started with sim racing I settled for a simple handlebar that I clamped onto my desk.
From experience I can tell you that the growth and expansion of your sim rig and need for even more experience is huge! This journey went faster than expected. And yes, there is still a lot to plan. Below is an impression of what my sim rig currently looks like.
