The Chicane Podcast

What does it take to turn a passion for motorsports and design into a game-changing tool for the sim racing community? Join us on the Chicane Podcast where we chat with Constantinos, the visionary behind the Lovely SimRacing ecosystem. With a journey that started as a self-taught digital designer in 1998, Constantinos shares his relentless quest for knowledge and the evolution of his sim racing setup—from a humble PlayStation and T300 wheel to a top-tier rig. His story underscores the importance of continuous learning and self-reliance in the world of tech development, all while maintaining a light-hearted humor about the financial realities of sim racing.
Throughout this episode, Constantinos takes us on a detailed tour of his innovative developments, including the creation of the Lovely Dashboard. Originally a YouTube channel meant for personal enjoyment, it quickly evolved into a versatile telemetry dashboard that addresses gaps in existing tools. Hear about the challenges and triumphs of integrating various plugins, optimizing performance, and tailoring the dashboard for different simulation games. The conversation also touches on the importance of community feedback, and how it has driven the continuous improvement of the Lovely Dashboard.
Looking forward, Constantinos shares exciting plans for expanding the dashboard’s capabilities, including support for more simulation games and the introduction of physical products. We discuss the broader landscape of the sim racing industry, from licensing issues with major consoles to the increasing accessibility of high-end gear. Get ready to be inspired by Constantinos' dedication and passion, as he reflects on the significance of genuine craftsmanship in tech development and looks ahead to the promising future of the Lovely SimRacing ecosystem.
