What a great looking chassis. Best looking on the market by far. What I like most about it would also be the reason I wouldn’t buy one…the flat profile. It looks so clean though. I really do like the look. However, since I started sim acing in 2016 I prefer to have almost unlimited mounting options like my P1x has. I’ve changed things around a lot over the years. Added and removed and re configured so much hardware that I want as many mounting points I can get. I even outgrew a GT1 EVO a few years ago.

I hear you, its not for everyone especially if you want unlimited mounting options. for me the trade-off of design and functionality was ok, I probably won't need more then what you see, and mounting to the front for button boxes etc. works well.

Yeah those flat faces look slightly better and will improve stiffness, but they severely limit your customisation options…. For example I have mounted a hand made phone holder, a hand made headphone holder, a hand made drinks holder. And a duplicate screen from my fan/ventilation unit to monitor it in game! Non of this would be possible on that rig. So to summarise, you bought a pretty rig and realised it wasn’t very good. So you bought a pretty rig and will realise it’s not very good….

Thanks for the review. I am currently researching a first-time build. There is a strong chance I will buy this rig. I especially like the adjustable steering column as I need to be able to adjust things quickly for my daughter. I am also looking at the Trak Racer Alpine TRX as it is very quickly adjustable but seems to have way more flex than I would like. If I buy the ASR I will be sure to use your link. Thx

Since you have had this for a while, do you still feel the same? Still happy with it? Would you still pick this over the ASR 6 with the PRO wheel deck? Did you ever get a D-Box and mount it? If so, any issues?
@simracingden
8 ай бұрын
I still feel the same way about it - it's been the best addition to my sim racing setup by far. I'm really glad I chose this over the ASR6. The adjustable wheel deck is super handy for quickly switching out wheels, and in my opinion, it still looks way cooler. Plus, I haven't run into any problems when attaching different accessories and button boxes, just like I mentioned in my previous reviews. I haven't gotten my hands on a D-box yet, but it's good to know that this chassis is designed to fit it perfectly. I got to try one out at ASR's headquarters, and I'm confident that when I finally decide to go for it, there won't be any issues with the setup.

Definitely considering this over the p1x because of the customization for wheel and pedals. Curious how you would mount a d-box or other motion systems to this. I think they normally mount to the outward face of extruded aluminum bases correct? Are there other mounting options that would allow for it to be mounted on the ASR pro?

Everything is actually mounted directly to the rig itself using the front of the wheel deck profiles on either side.

The price is STEEP my gawd. The flat surfaces look cool but yeah losing functionality is a bummer. Cool to see a little innovation though. As you summarized, it might be nice for the right customer but I'm not one of them. Seeing it in Aston Martin green would be hard to look away from.

Yes, the price is high, but you get what you pay for here. It's very well made. The flat surfaces don't hinder things as much as one might think; I still mounted several accessories from the back and front of the profiles with no issues or significant drawbacks. It is still not for everyone, but it is a solid option when comparing chassis at the top of the market. , So yes, the Aston Green would be something; I'm not a fan of the team, but I always thought they have one of the best-looking liveries.

Hardly a GAME CHANGER! Still uses the same basic/simple/stupid design as everyone else and though the thicker profiles are desirable and usefull they wouldn’t be needed if the design had some thought put into it. What you proclaim as exceptional is in fact just the inadequacies of your previous rig making this seem remarkably good by comparison. I spent £6/700 on my diy profile rig 7 years ago even though I was only using a T300 rsgt and a television I did this because it was obvious that anything else would quickly become useless and would have to be replaced, therefore costing more. I’m now using much more capable equipment and a large monitor but with some small profile additions and bigger+stronger uprights my rig is continuing to be suitable
