Sim Racing

Met de komst van Max Verstappen in de F1 in 2015 werd mijn interesse in de F1 aangewakkerd. Sindsdien heb ik bijna alle Grand Prix's van hem gezien. Een paar jaar later leek mij het leuk om zelf ook in een F1 auto te kunnen racen, dus ben ik op internet gaan rondkijken wat er allemaal mogelijk was. Hieronder zie je wat ik allemaal heb aangeschaft om dit mogelijk te maken.

Samen met een paar collega's bij Account Software Groep hadden we een onderlinge strijd wie er het beste was in de F1 Time Trial.

Xbox One X

Tot aan de komst van de Xbox Series X was de Xbox One X de krachtigste console ooit. Hij is speciaal gemaakt voor 4K-gaming en bij de introductie ervan kregen meerdere games updates in het kader van het Xbox One X Enhanced-programma. Deze games zijn verbeterd of specifiek ontwikkeld om optimaal te profiteren van het vermogen en de 4K UHD- en HDR-mogelijkheden.

LG 43UD79 UHD 4K Monitor

Aangezien je op de Playseat® Evolution geen monitor kan bevestigen, staat je monitor wat verder weg en is het aan te raden een iets grotere te kopen. Aangezien mijn Xbox One X 4K ondersteund, wilde ik wel een monitor die dat ondersteunde. Toen ik deze monitor kocht, was dit voor €700 één van nog enigzins betaalbare 42,5 inch UHD 4K-monitoren.
