If these numbers are a bit beyond where your budget is at the moment, don’t worry about it. With a slight caveat that I haven’t included import taxes if you’re buying outside of the EU – I think the numbers below are pretty amazing for the gear you can get: Build a sim racing rig on a budget that will last and will need little in the way of upgrades throughout its life. So my approach here isn’t just to list a bunch of cheap sim racing gear it’s to help you consider affordable equipment that can be taken seriously. For a very small amount more than the price of a Thrustmaster VG T300RS wheelbase, you can own a direct drive wheelbase – the rather impressive Fanatec CSL DD. The Logitechs and Thrustmasters of this world have, for now, fallen behind the ever-dominant Fanatec. I don’t believe that it’s worth pursuing gear drive or belt drive steering wheelbases anymore.

Today, I’m looking lower down the price spectrum – identifying the cheapest racing simulator cockpit you can put together, perhaps even in time for Christmas.Ī professional looking rig is achievable with some thought and careful shopping around, as a lot of the sim racing community can attest: Sim-Lab GT1 Evo / Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals / DD2 wheelbase / Sparco Seat / Samsung G9 monitor ( source)Ĭan something close to the rig setup above be built? Let’s find out.įirstly, some background. I’ve written about budget high-end simulator builds built on a reasonable budget before, where I’ve tried to put the very highest quality gear that would approximate the feel of the most expensive simulators. Nobody ever said sim racing was cheap although by comparison to the eye-wateringly expensive real-life Motorsport it’s certainly far friendlier on the wallet.
