Lando Norris ($50K+) invested in the ultimate bespoke experience — hydraulic pedals that replicate real brake feel, a custom Cool Performance cockpit, and triple 4K monitors. As Quadrant's founder, his setup showcases premium sim racing hardware at its finest.
Jarno Opmeer (~$8K-$10K) built a focused esports rig — proven Simucube/Heusinkveld combo with an ultrawide OLED for immersion and visibility. When your career depends on consistency and reaction time, reliability trumps luxury.
Bottom line: Lando optimized for pedal feel and immersion; Jarno optimized for competitive consistency and low latency. Both are world champions with static rigs. Lando's setup is 6× more expensive, but both approaches win championships.
