I’ve been a racing driver for just a little over 7 years now, and I’ve spent almost half of that time using a racing simulator to practice my car handling technique, racecraft and technical abilities when it comes to sim setup. Part of my job is to not only evaluate sim racing gear from a review and consumer recommendations point of view but also to rate equipment based on real-world feel.
That’s why every single one of my sim racing equipment reviews always covers how an item feels during use. I own every item of equipment reviewed which I think gives me space to provide a completely unbiased perspective.
