After spending two days testing a full-blown, $15,000+ sim racing rig, you may come away with more questions than answers about what sim racing should be. Is immersion worth more than lap times? Does realism make you faster or more in tune with the fantasy? And how much gear is too much gear?
- Can a $7,000 motion system actually make you faster, or just make you feel faster?
- Is there really such a thing as too much force feedback?
- Does an $800 pedal make you brake better, or just differently?
- What matters more: raw speed, or full-body immersion?
Did you always believe speed doesn’t come from equipment? After trying a rig that costs more than most used cars… You may still feel that. But it could change how you think about the gear you use. And if you ever make the jump to full motion and haptics, it’s all or nothing. Would you drop five figures on a sim racing rig? What would make it worth it for you?
