In part-2, (Video Below) Barry mounts all his sim racing peripherals to get the rig in a racing condition and fires up iRacing for a test session. To conclude the review, Barry shares his final thoughts.

The Sim Lab P1 sim-racing chassis features improved rigidity, more custom brackets, and a cleaner design, Due to its solid design, the Sim-Labs chassis is very well suited for Direct Drive steering systems. The uprights are connected by 10 mm thick aluminum “sandwich” plates, which are easy to assemble and provide a rock-solid mount. The pedal deck is easily adjustable with locking levers and can be tilted.
