So @crashhawkra challenged me to do the #helmetchallenge, and I was thinking... It would be alright to do my racing helmet, but why not bust out my roommate's Speed Racer helmet??

My roommate takes one look and says "there's no way you're getting out of this without a Polaroid!!"

Yep... Feels like I'm back in the 90's!

Saying goodbye to an old buddy today... My @simlab_eu GT1 Evo has held true through many changes, and is one of my favorite cockpits... Time for it to see a new home and a new owner!!

Let's hope it sees many more laps and races!

It's starting to come together guys! Shipping delays are causing the final few parts to come later than I'd hope (#thanksfedex), I'm hoping to get this new sim rig up and running asap! Going to run the @simagicofficial M10 version 2 racing wheel with the @heusinkveldofficial Sim Predals Sprint on the @advanced_simracing ASR6 Cockpit, with the NRG FRP-300 Racing seat

I'm really excited to give this a go! This thing feels ROCK Solid! taken in Sunny Northern California by @simracingpaddock

Yeah... I didn't just stop there either this week! For Christmas, I also put together the @trakracer TR8, which is actually a bit sturdier than I thought it would be! I'm excited to take it for a spin!

This is at my other studio, which I still need to do more at...

Man... It's a total trip when you're watching Drive to Survive on Netflix and you recognize that you have the same wheel as the founder of Force India F1.... by @simracingpaddock

In the past year, I've had to move twice, and it has shaken up the way I've had to run SRP... I used to run it partly out of my bedroom, and partly out of a garage, but now I'm running it partly out of my place, my mom's place, and this slightly mysterious "Third Studio"...

Well, here's a quick look at what I'm working on... and I know the cable management is absolutely HORRIBLE, but I'll work on it!

Okay guys, I need your help settling a discussion I'm having with @boostedmediaofficial regarding my latest PC Build.

On my new motherboard, the motherboard's CPU Power has an 8+4 connector, which, according to my manual, only requires the 8-pin, unless I'm planning on doing intense OC".

Will Ford tells me that "it's far better to have the +4 connected, even if you aren't overclocking"...

What do you guys think? by @simracingpaddock

Fun Fact: I almost decided to get my A+ IT Certificate and start my own IT Firm back in 2014-2015, but I never went through with it due to starting my YouTube channel.

Since then, I've built the equivalent to 5 or 6 computers, all for myself. This is my first time putting together a build for a "client", who's my roommate, who was using an old CyberPower PC. I saw him playing one of his new games at 27 FPS, and I was just like "NOPE!!! We need to set you up on a new system!"

So I helped him spec out a system, and hopefully it runs well for his needs (1440p single screen gaming)

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
ASUS TUF Gaming X570 Motherboard
NVIDIA RTX 2070 (my old GPU)
16GB RAM (from old system)
Corsair CX750M 80+ Bronze PSU
Corsair Mid-ATX Case

Let's hope this goes well... Dude knows where I sleep!! 😂
