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.
If you already own a PC, provided that you have a reasonably up to date GPU (see my sim racing PC specs here), 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?
- Wheelbase buyer’s guide
- Why the Heusinkveld Sprint pedals are the only pedals you’ll need
Getting started in iRacing
Finally, you’ll want to head to iRacing’s own “getting started” guide. We’ve just published an iRacing setup guide too. Enjoy!
That’s pretty much all you need to know to get started in the incredible world of iRacing – good luck!
