Building a sim racing rig: Does my system meet the requirements?
If you’re yet to build your sim racing setup, check out our guide to building a sim racing rig here. Generally speaking any modern gaming PC (from 9 series Intel processors with 32gB of ram and a decent 30 series NVIDIA GPU of higher, will be fine.
If you already own a PC, provided that you have a reasonably up-to-date GPU, then you’ll be likely OK. If you’re not sure, use iRacing’s system requirements site to scan your PC.
What about the rest of the gear?
You’ll need a cockpit (rig), wheelbase and wheel, pedals and monitors. Most of this is covered in our build guide, but do check out these resources too:
- What are the best sim rigs on the market?
- Steering wheel buyer’s guide // Fanatec Buyer’s Guide (great for getting started with your first sim racing gear)
