Why Structural Steel Frames Behave Differently Than Aluminum Extrusions (IFR Explained)

by 3R Simworks TeamComparisons & Analysis 20 February 202620 February 2026Comments are Disabled

Understanding Immersive Frame Resonance in modern sim racing chassis When we began developing our HSS steel rig, we expected rigidity, strength, and predictable load paths. What we didn’t expect was how alive the frame would feel under force feedback. Steel doesn’t just hold the structure together — it carries the entire sensory footprint of the …

3R‑2 Technical Overview — Engineering Notes From Development

by 3R Simworks TeamProduct Development 1 February 202620 February 2026Comments are Disabled

The 3R‑2 is the latest iteration of our welded‑steel sim racing chassis, built around one priority: structural certainty under real racing loads. Instead of relying on modular joints or friction‑based connections, the 3R‑2 uses a unified, triangulated steel structure to eliminate the micro‑flex that shows up when you push modern hardware to its limits. During …

3R‑2 Development Update: Reaching the Production Prototype Stage

by 3R Simworks TeamAnnouncements, Product Development 23 January 20265 February 2026Comments are Disabled

Hello everyone — and thank you to those who’ve been following along. Your support genuinely means a lot. A little while ago, we shared an update about the transition from the 3R‑1 to our next platform, the 3R‑2. Today’s post is the next step in that journey. We’ve officially reached our Production Prototype Candidate. Functionally, …

Evolving the Platform: From 3R‑1 to the 3R‑2

Prototyping is never a straight line. Things change, get refined, get rebuilt, and sometimes get rebuilt again. The goal is always the same: create a system that performs exactly as intended. The 3R‑1 has proven itself to be a sturdy, reliable platform, but during our efforts to reduce shipping costs, we introduced a design change …

Meet the 3R‑1: Built With Rigidity At Its Core

by 3R Simworks TeamAnnouncements, Product Development 21 November 20254 February 2026Comments are Disabled

When we started designing the 3R‑1, we had one non‑negotiable goal: rigidity above everything else. Every decision — from material selection to geometry to how each plate interfaces with the next — was driven by that single principle. The result is a platform built from real structural steel, engineered for load‑bearing performance, and validated through …

Supporting Current Systems and DIY Wood Cockpits

Over the past few months, we’ve been having a lot of internal discussions about what we want our presence in this ecosystem to be. From the very beginning, we knew we didn’t want to become another cookie‑cutter platform that forces everyone into the same conformity. That’s why we’re expanding our line‑up to include mounting systems …

Sim Rig Pedal Tilt: How Much Does It Matter in Your Setup?

by 3R Simworks TeamCommunity Insights, Product Development 15 November 20254 February 2026Comments are Disabled

As we get closer to finalizing our release candidate at 3R Simworks, we’ve been refining the ergonomics and adjustability of our modular steel platform. One of the major adjustability decisions we locked in was something that affects comfort, control, and immersion more than most people realize – sim rig pedal tilt. Sim Rig Pedal Tilt …

Inside Our Build Process: How We Engineer the 3R Simworks Rig
