Build the Racing Simulator Setup of Your Dreams

Racing simulators like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and Gran Turismo put you in the driver’s seat of some of the world’s fastest race cars — but to truly enjoy their immersive qualities or to compete at the eSports level, you’ll need at least a basic sim racing setup. That typically includes a racing wheel, pedals, and a gaming monitor, although it can contain a lot more, too!

Our racing sim builder page guides you step-by-step through building your perfect racing setup. Choose your level — beginner, enthusiast, or pro — and find a selection of sim racing gear at your price point from top brands like Logitech, Thrustmaster, Next Level Racing, and more.

Key Parts of a Sim Racing Rig

Here’s a quick guide to some of the most important elements you’ll find for enjoying virtual motorsports:

• Racing Wheel: These steering wheel controllers are the heart of a racing rig. Wheels with a gear-driven force feedback system are a good choice for beginners, while more advanced users often choose a belt-driven or direct drive controller.
• Pedals: Gas and brake pedals are the other essential elements of a racing setup. Some pedal sets include a clutch, while others use only the gas and brake. Pedals that use a potentiometer are the standard beginner option, while more advanced racers will often graduate to a pedal set that uses either load cell or hydraulic-based technology.
