When he started iRacing, Nick already had an old Logitech Driving Force GT steering wheel and pedals—but he added a Playseat Challenge Racing Seat to complete the cockpit feel.

Griffin’s only prior knowledge of iRacing came from this Twitter video by NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin.

While setting up this episode, Nick realized his GVM 800D LED light could mount on the light stand at 90°, to increase the mobility of its barn doors.

To use an EOS camera as a webcam, Canon released this EOS Webcam Utility Beta software.

Griffin uses a discontinued Blackmagic Intensity Extreme to connect his Panasonic GH5S camera as a webcam via HDMI.

The Elgato Game Capture HD60 S+ and Elgato Cam Link 4K can each turn a camera’s HDMI signal into a USB webcam.
