The new cooling allows the motor system to have 50% more dynamic response and 4 times greater stall force – the force when you’re holding the wheel steady, like in a long corner – than any previous Thrustmaster wheel. Featuring a 40-watt brushless motor and Motor Cooling Embedded that will prevent the motor from losing power due to high temperatures over time. Spend a little more and you’ll be looking at something like the Thrustmaster TS-PC wheel.

Something like this would be perfect as an entry-level wheel that’s compatible for both PC and XBOX.

Entry and mid-level wheels utilise either a gear-driven or belt-driven system, which will provide less torque and won’t feel as engaging.Ī lot of brands offer a steering wheel and pedal bundle which are very good value for money, for example, the Thrustmaster TMX pro kit. These wheels include a strong electronic servomotor and a detachable wheel with a quick release that can be compatible with a real race car, allowing the user to use a variety of different wheels in shapes and sizes depending on personal preference. Higher-end wheels use a direct drive system that produces stronger force feedback and therefore are able to deliver a more realistic driving experience. Let’s start by talking about force feedback – this is what gives the wheel resistance to the steering wheel inputs – such as when the car oversteers the wheel will automatically try to rotate in the opposite direction, much like it would in real life. It can be quite daunting to begin with as there is a large variety of different wheels on the market all at different price points. It’s no surprise that at the very heart of a setup is the steering wheel. That way, when it comes to driving that track in real life they’ve already got an idea of where the track is heading and also have a rough idea of braking markers too.

Not only can you benefit from learning a cars characteristics, many professional drivers and drifters use sims to learn new tracks. Once it’s built you can be on the starting grid ready to go racing just a couple of minutes after switching on your PC or console.

A simulator is perfect to work around your busy schedule. TimeĮver heard the expression, ‘there needs to be more hours in the day’? Well, it’s no myth that racing takes up a lot of your time, from test sessions for the day and racing often lasting a whole weekend. Once you’ve got your rig setup there’s little to no costs to play, other than your electricity bill or subscription fees depending on your chosen simulator game. Like we said in our previous point, there’s always the risk of causing damage too, which is going to cost even more money to put right. Not only have you got the cost of buying or building your race car but there’s always money to be spent on fuel, consumables like tyres and brake pads, entry fees and so on and so on. Initially, it might look like building the ultimate rig might be quite expensive, especially if you’re looking at some of the higher-end components.īut when you compare this to actually racing in real life, a sim rig can then look like a more attractive way of getting some race action in. If you’ve not been on track or in a race environment before then learning in a virtual world will better prepare you if any eventualities do happen.

If something goes wrong on a simulator, it’s simply a case of hitting the reset button and starting again.Ī simulator will also help you improve your driving in the real world too. There’s an inherent chance that something might go wrong whilst out on track in real life which could cause thousands of pounds worth of damage to your beloved pride and joy, or even worse, yourself. More frequently, we’re seeing talented sim racers being recruited into real world racing too, which makes it the perfect time to get yourself into this hobby! Why should I get into Sim Racing? Safety

The majority of professional racers, including F1 drivers, regularly set aside time to practice driving on simulators which helps them improve their driving skills and learn the tracks. Not only is it a great way to compete against your friends and learn new tracks but it’s also a shed load of fun too! With the rise of Esports receiving more and more coverage with each passing day, it’s no surprise that racing simulators are becoming more commonplace in households. Whilst you’re all stuck in the house during the lockdown our amazing partners at Yellow Speed Europe have provided us with this incredible guest blog breaking down the ins and outs of racing simulators!
