Whats The Cheapest Yet Most 'True To Life' Racing setup You Guys Can Part Out?!

Budget Racing Sims

 

It's the title but to make this for something that people can look for in the future I wanted to make this more professional and with some goals! I am assuming price budgets are for NEW items.

 

Let's set some price budgets:

Steering Wheels:

  • Bare minimum budget - (Wheel Only)  100-150 USD:
  • Premium Wheel - (Can include pedals bundled.)  200-300 USD:
  • High End Wheel - 300-700 USD:

Stand Alone Pedals:

I'm assuming that if you are looking for pedals then you probably already have a decent wheel as most budget setups come with pedals already.

  • Generic stand alone tri-pedal setup - (Clutch, Gas, Break) 100-150 USD:
  • Premium weighted pedals - 200-300 USD:
  • High end electronically haptic adjustable pedals - 400-800 USD:

Shifter & Handbrake:

Here's where we get tokyo drifting bois, Lets hit mount akina with our AE86's

  • Generic shifter - 60-150 USD:
  • Premium Shifter - 150-300 USD:
  • Generic Handbrake - 60-150 USD:
  • Premium Handbrake -  150-300 USD:

 

If you guys have some recommendations on rigs for people to mount them as well toss those in too!

 

If you guys can fit VR into the budget you wouldn't regret it! There are decently affordable and well performing Windows Mixed Reality headsets out there that can add so much to the experience. 

I cant wait to see what the community recommends as I will probably be splurging sometime soon on some hardware due to me just recently purchasing a 1990 Mazda Miata and wanting to turn it into a track/drift car! But first comes the practice on the simulators first.... Asseto Corsa anyone?
