If you're a newcomer to sim racing, there are a few items you might want to consider buying. Your CPU or graphics card may need an upgrade or, worst-case scenario, a whole new gaming PC might be in your future. A multitude of gaming monitors to choose from are just a click away or, if you want serious immersion, virtual reality headsets will get you in the racing game.

But the most essential purchase you'll make will be a gaming racing wheels and pedal set, which are the only components that you'll actually touch and the only accessories that are able to mimic the tactile sensations of a sport that's largely based on feel.

Getting the best racing wheel and pedals setup is hugely important for racing simulation, but finding something that fits your budget is also key. You can easily spend more on a sim racing setup than you might on a real race car -- which sounds totally crazy until you start to do the math on what actually being competitive in the real world costs. There's also no way to begin to explain the type of variety available in racing simulator components -- think adjustable pedals, leather wheel, and more.

Before you start shopping for racing wheels, it's important to figure out exactly where you're going to drive. If you already have your PC set up at a desk, clamping your racing wheel on there is probably the easiest -- and certainly the cheapest -- way to go. However, it's not for everyone, especially if you hate having extra cables slung around your workspace.

So, if you have the budget and the floor space, a dedicated sim racing cockpit with a wheel stand and more makes a world of difference. The ability to just sit down and start driving means you'll spend less time fiddling with cables and more time driving. Plus, you can start customizing your cockpit with bespoke seating and button pods and all sorts of fun stuff.We at CLUTCH KICK, offer Best Wheels and Pedals Logitech G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel for Xbox One & PC and Thrustmaster Sparco R383 Mod Rally Add-On For T-Series Racing Wheels.
