Simucube

We are extremely excited to announce that we are one of (if not THE) first sim racing lounges in the country to use Simucube 3 Pros across our entire lineup. Simucube has dominated the market for being the highest quality and most precise wheelbases on the market and they continue to hold that title with the Simucube 3 Pro.

Pedals

The world of sim racing is constantly evolving and we didn’t want to start behind the eight ball so we chose to go for the Moza mBooster Activpedal and CRP2 pedal set. These pedals are a great option for many sim racers and are known for their amazing quality and price. The Activpedal offers a wide variety of force feedback haptics bring you even further into the driving experience and pushing the limits of what we thought was possible for racing simulation. The Activpedal also excels at it’s flexibility being able to change from a GT3 style brake to a Formula 1 style brake, capable of up to 200KG of brake force. Click here to get your own!

Steering Wheels

We decided to go even further into the Moza Ecosystem a pick a couple of amazing steering wheels from their vast lineup. For our F1 simulators we chose their FSR2 wheels for their crystal clear touchscreen, 6 paddles and wide array of programmable buttons, all of which are held together by a carbon fiber faceplate. As for our GT simulators, we decided to go with their brand new CS Pro Steering wheels to give those deeper into sim racing for control over their car while not losing the daily driver form factor for those just getting started in sim racing and need a familiar starting point.

Screens

So far we’ve kept our part choices pretty “standard” for the sim racing world, but we decided to shake it up a bit for our monitor choice. After testing a multitude of different monitors, TVs and talking to experts about what’s best we landed on our favorite two. These were the LG 45in Ultrawide OLED and the Samsung Ark 2. Many experts suggested the Samsung G9 OLED but we found this was one of those times that just because it’s the standard, doesn’t exactly mean it’s the best. We found that the G9 was just too narrow and left drivers less immersed than the taller 45in LG OLED. We decided on the Samsung Ark 2s for our F1 setups because we found that the realistic F1 seating we were using often left us looking up toward the smaller monitors instead of just straight forward like in a normal car. This led us to possibly one of the most insane gaming “monitors” to ever hit the market. At an astonishing 55 inches, with a 6 speakers surround sound system (including 2 subwoofers) and 4K 165hz Mini LED display the Ark blows any other option out of the water. (Maybe separate the two monitors into two different sections)

Bass Shakers

Pedals and Wheelbases can only give you so much feedback and immersion, so we decided to take it a step further and install not just 1, but 2 Trak Racer 100W Bass Shakers to the seat cross bars. These bass shakers can give you a multitude of different feedbacks and we decided to program them for engine vibration and gearshifts to give you the most exhilarating and fun experience possible! These bass shakers don’t just operate at one frequency for all engines but have precise frequencies for each car so an F1 car might have a higher, and higher frequency to match the high rpm of the car while a good ol’ V8 from a Mclaren P1 will give you more raw and low frequency feedback.

Seats

As for seats we decided to go with the ASR Advanced Bucket Seat for an amazing balance between design and comfort, sporting that sleek GT style while not sacrificing comfort. Our Formula 1 simulators boast some of the most realistic Formula 1 seating positions thanks to the Sim Lab x AMG Petronas Formula 1 seat which was designed specifically to bring the low slung seating position of Formula 1 to the masses.

Audio Feature

A nice addition we added for our customers is the Elgato Streamdeck+ to enable customers to plug in their phones and listen to music through their headphones as they drive. Not only that but it allows them to customize their audio experience to their exact liking and make the most of the time they spend racing!

Custom PCs

To make all of these component communicate and give you breath taking visuals is custom built gaming PCs featuring Ryzen 7700X CPU, Crucial 32 DDR5 RAM, and a XFX 9070 GPU. All enclosed in a sleek blacked out build, proudly spending $0 on RGB lighting and putting it all into performance to give you the best experience possible.
