Become a Racing Driver Without Leaving Home. Build a True Racing Cockpit!

Having your own racing cockpit is a true delight for all motorsport simulation fans. With the right gaming equipment, the thrill of racing delivers genuine adrenaline, making sim racing highly popular among both younger and adult enthusiasts of simulation games like Assetto Corsa, iRacing, rFactor, or Gran Turismo. It’s worth noting that even professional race drivers use advanced simulators as part of their training, considering it a valuable practice tool. No wonder having a personal sim racing setup is a dream gift for many automotive enthusiasts.

To enjoy a realistic driving experience without leaving home, you need to assemble several key components for your setup. These include:

Steering Wheel

This is the first step to authentic racing sensations, especially if you choose a wheel that matches the dimensions of real car steering wheels. Consider features like rotation angle, paddle shifters, or the type of force feedback. Noise levels are another important criterion – some sim racing wheels operate louder than others, which may affect gaming comfort and the well-being of household members. The most advanced players seeking realistic experiences often opt for professional models such as the Thrustmaster TS-PC Racer or Thrustmaster T500RS, as well as the Fanatec series. For beginners, more affordable options like the Logitech G29 or Logitech Driving Force GT work well.

Pedals

Foot controls allow players to manage gameplay with a realistic replication of gas, brake, and clutch pedal functions and design. When choosing such equipment, players often prioritize adjustable settings, materials (metal pedals enhance realism), or the presence of load cell sensors for brake pressure measurement. Beginners often use pedals included with steering wheels, like Logitech G29/G920 or Logitech G923. Advanced load cell technology, available in higher-end models such as Fanatec CSL Elite Pedals or Simagic P2000, is a significant upgrade. Professionals prefer top-tier options like the Heusinkveld Ultimate+ or HPP PRX-SE Pedals.

Shifters

A gear shifter is another element essential for achieving an authentic racing experience. Some shifters are designed to mimic the gear layout of real vehicles, such as the Shifter SimMasters, which offers adjustments inspired by BMW gearboxes. Market-available shifters often feature adjustable shift force, hall sensors, material variety, and mounting systems. Beginners frequently choose models like the Logitech Driving Force or Thrustmaster TH8A. Advanced options include the high-precision Heusinkveld Sim Shifter Sequential or the professional DSSQ Shifter.

Seat

A comfortable and practical seat is the foundation of a great virtual racing experience. Sim racing seats are designed to provide maximum back support and allow for individual adjustments. Popularly made from durable materials like polyester-glass laminates or fiberglass-reinforced plastics, bucket seats ensure long-lasting use. Leading brands include K-TEC Racing, Mirco, OMP, Recaro, and Sparco.

Rig

The rig is the frame that holds various simulator components and creates your dream setup at home. At ADJ, we offer frames made from the highest-quality structural steel, welded using TIG technology for durability. The powder-coated surface protects the rig from corrosion and external factors.
