I sim-raced an F1 season and dethroned Verstappen — thanks to the ultimate sim seat

PlaySeat Formula Instinct — F1 Edition.

I’ve shown you how you can have a good sim racing experience for $500 (or £500 for my fellow Brits), but let’s be honest — this will only get you so far. What if you’ve been behind the wheel for a while and you’re ready to take things to the next level?

Well, it starts with a pro wheel and pedals. I personally rather like the Logitech G Pro and the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race to fill this gap. And then, you need to upgrade your sim seat. No matter how good that Playseat Challenge chair was with your beginner wheel, the sheer force of a direct drive wheel will probably make it fall apart!
