One of the most commonly discussed topics in sim racing is the impact that equipment has on performance. Many people find their lap times and consistency improve dramatically with more expensive, better quality equipment, but at the same time there are so many examples of people who are unbelievably quick using entry level gear. So in this video series we're going to start from the beginning with an entry level sim rig consisting of a Logitech G923 and Next Level Racing GT-Lite to see what exactly you can expect from a basic rig, then follow through a typical upgrade path to see where the best value lies, and how to best prioritise your spending to get maximum enjoyment from your money!

Hello and welcome back to part 3 of our complete guide to sim racing video series. So far we’ve taken a look at some of the key fundamentals you need to understand as you start your sim racing journey, and taken a deeper dive into the world of sim racing pedals, so be sure to check those videos out if you haven’t already before watching this one. Today we move on to wheels and wheel bases. We’ll have a look at the different types of wheel bases available and their various pros and cons. As before, the aim of this video isn’t to try and push you towards any particular products, but rather to arm you with all the knowledge you need to do your own product research and come up with the best solution to meet your needs and budget, so let’s get started! __________________________________________ JUMP IN OUR DISCORD COMMUNITY HERE: https://discord.gg/7YzjkFQ ___________________________________________ If you'd like to pick up any of the gear you see in my videos, I'd love it if you could use the following links.

Pedals, along with a solid mounting solution are generally regarded as single the most important component in a sim racing rig when it comes to turning fast and consistent lap times. So in today's video we'll take a closer look at all the things you need to know to make the right decision for your needs and budget. We'll look at the different types of pedals such as load cell, potentiometer and hall effect sensors, we'll talk about adjustability, pedal feel, ecosystems and much more. __________________________________________ JUMP IN OUR DISCORD COMMUNITY HERE: https://discord.gg/7YzjkFQ ___________________________________________ If you'd like to pick up any of the gear you see in my videos, I'd love it if you could use the following links.

It's been well established for a long time now that you don't necessarily need high-end sim racing gear to be fast and have fun, but every so often, a cheap and simple mod comes along that can genuinely improve the overall experience using entry-level equipment. Here is one such occasion! I came across the ChrisHDesigns Magnetic Shifter Mod in an ad he posted in one of the Sim Racing Facebook groups and thought it looked awesome, so I reached out to see if he'd like me to put it to the test. Here's what I found.......

A few weeks ago, this little gadget from Wish popped up in my Facebook news feed. It caught my attention so I posted a screenshot up on my YouTube community page with a challenge to reach 500 likes and I would buy one, along with an Xbox One Controller to put it to the test. You guys delivered, and the goods arrived today, so lets put it to the test in iRacing and Project Cars 2 to see whether these things are actually any good!
