Everything you need for a professional sim racing setup: hardware, software, cockpit configurations, and tips for the best racing experience.

Performance Tips

• Use a high-refresh monitor (120Hz+) for smooth visuals.
• Enable full-screen mode to reduce input lag.
• Close background apps, Discord overlays, and capture software unless streaming.
• Set FPS cap to match your monitor refresh rate for consistent performance.

Hardware Setup

• Steering wheel & pedals: Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec recommended.
• Optional handbrake/shifter for rally sims.
• Seat & cockpit: ensure solid mounting to avoid wobble; vibration feedback enhances immersion.
• High-quality headphones or surround sound for audio cues.

Game Configurations

• iRacing: Optimize graphics for visibility of braking points and apexes.
• Assetto Corsa/AC Competizione: Set realistic physics and controller calibration.
• BeamNG.drive: Reduce post-processing for FPS; physics is CPU heavy.
