Sim Tour Project 2026 Submission Guide: How To Get Your Sim Racing Setup Featured on OC Racing
Quick summary· AI-generated
This is a practical how-to guide for community members wanting to showcase their sim racing setups in OC Racing's Sim Tour Project. It covers essential prep work (cleaning, cable management), specific camera settings and angles (16:9 format, horizontal orientation, multiple viewpoints), and readiness checks (monitors on, game running, RGB lighting active). The guide emphasizes inclusivity—beginner and budget setups are welcome alongside high-end rigs—and provides detailed photography requirements including overview shots, cockpit close-ups, and wide angles.

Step 1: Clean Up Your Setup
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.
Step 2: Use The Correct Camera Settings
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:
Open the Camera app
Press the arrow at the top
Select the aspect ratio button
Choose 16:9
Also, if you are on iPhone, switch camera settings to Most Compatible format. This avoids file issues during editing.
Step 3: Make Sure Your Setup Is Ready
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.
Step 4: General Photography Tips
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.
Use good lighting
Avoid Blurry Images
Required Photos
Not every setup will allow every angle, and that is completely fine. In general, more photos give more flexibility.
