Want your sim racing setup featured in Sim Tour Project? Follow this guide carefully before sending your submission.
Do not worry if you have a beginner setup or a high-end rig. The goal of this series is to showcase the variety of sim racing setups in the community, not just the most expensive ones.
Following these instructions properly will give your setup the best chance of being featured.
Before taking any photos, spend some time making your setup look as presentable as possible.
Make sure to:
• Remove trash and clutter
• Wipe away dust
• Organize cables where possible
• Tidy up your space
A clean setup simply looks better on camera and makes it easier to showcase all of your hardware.
Grab the best phone or camera available to you.
Important requirements:
• Use horizontal photos only
• Set your photos to 16:9 format
If you use an iPhone:
Also, if you are on iPhone, switch camera settings to Most Compatible format. This avoids file issues during editing.
Before taking photos, turn your setup on completely.
Your setup should look as if you are about to start racing.
Make sure these are active if you have them:
• Monitors on
• Sim racing game running
• Dash displays active
• RGB lighting on
• Button boxes active
• Any extra hardware powered on
The goal is to showcase your setup fully in action.
A few simple things make a huge difference:
• Hold your camera steady to avoid blurry pictures
• Use good lighting
• Turn room lights on
You can also take additional dark-room shots later if your setup looks good with RGB lighting.
Not every setup will allow every angle, and that is completely fine. In general, more photos give more flexibility.
