So, open-wheel sim racing will have a slightly different looking sim rig than, say, rally. Sim rigs can be differently designed based on their use. Then comes the way the seat is laid, the mounts’ layout, and the rig’s primary purpose. You are greeted by a range of seat types, shapes and materials. The main element in a sim rig is the seat. Things get complicated with form, orientation, number of mounts, etc., taking precedence too. But that is just the fundamental difference. Sim Rigs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, naturally. So, in general, a sim rig is the building block to your perfect sim racing setup. This includes racing wheels, shifters, pedals and entire monitors sometimes. So now that we have piqued your interest, what exactly is a sim rig? In simple terms, a sim rig is a basic structure that sim racers use to seat themselves and mount their devices in simple terms.

For this piece, we will take a closer look at the beauty of sim rigs and what you should be looking for when picking one. Be it F1, iRacing, Project Cars, Assetto Corsa Competizione or any other sim racing title, your sim rig is just as crucial as basically everything else. From sim racing wheels to sim racing gloves and much more, everything you possess in your arsenal dictates your sim racing skills, your quality and your efficiency. However, sim racing setups are a bit of a balancing act where your accessories are equally as important as your hardware itself. A mark of a good sim setup is the quality of your hardware.
