    Do you have the dimensions of the wooden frame?

    Could you share dimensions of the Alu rig you have now, you inspired many of us to build the same

    And may i ask why did you change the motor's position from the front (in the wooden frame) to the back (in the Alu frame), what mechanical adventages did that achieve (isn't less distance means less torque for the motors ?)

    Another question I have, why did you use this motor instead of the 24v wheelchair motor?

    May you can share how you can adjust the position of the Wheel with the 8020 Alu rig? what kind of gliders, or fast screw fix do you use?

    More power and torque, plus easier mounting is a bonus

    I just loosen the bolts and slide the frame around, then re tighten

    Is it possible to connect a quick loosen/tighten system?

    May you can share your axis and tuning center settings?

    Your Rig was and still is a big inspiration.

    The audio driven LEDs are a nice touch.

    From the video there did not seem to be heave dialed in to the motion profile, for fine movement.

    Just to clarify, the rpm LEDs are not audio driven and are achieved using Dash and a new sketch from @yobuddy

    The sim does have heave but it depends on the track model. I think this particular Baku track is hand modelled and subsequently is very smooth. In my Oz gp video the heave is more evident. Same car, same settings. But the track is perhaps laser scanned so contains more detail.

    Not tried the Baku track, but it is notoriously bumpy, very evident when the new gen F1 cars were first introduced: https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/34095155/why-was-mercedes-bouncing-bad-baku-there-solution

    I believe that was due to the 'porpoising' issue the teams were facing and not down to the condition of the track. It was more of a problem there due to the downfirce achieved on its long straight.

    I'm curious, so Ill try the F1 22 version to see how it compares

    The 'porpoising' was an inherent design issue but was exacerbated by the Baku track, which is notoriously bumpy, the likes of Nords is even worse and not fit for the likes of real F1, but even pretty flat F1 tracks have fine track detail, evident in head movement of onboard F1 footage.
