Quick Answer

Sim racing gear includes the essential equipment used to build or upgrade a racing simulator, including wheelbases, steering wheels, pedals, cockpits and sim racing accessories. Most users should start with compatible steering, force-feedback and pedal hardware, then expand their sim racing setup based on driving style, budget, available space and future upgrade plans.

Apex300 offers sim racing equipment for beginners, enthusiasts and advanced racers in Finland, with delivery across Central European markets including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France. The collection brings together compatible hardware for GT, Formula, rally and general sim racing setups.

Choosing the right category first makes it easier to build a compatible setup. Start with your core driving hardware, then add supporting components as your requirements develop.

Wheelbases

A wheelbase produces the force feedback you feel through the steering wheel. Direct drive wheelbases are popular with racers looking for stronger and more detailed feedback.

Steering Wheels

Choose a steering wheel based on your racing style, wheelbase compatibility, size and control layout. GT, Formula and rally-style wheels suit different driving preferences.

Browse Steering Wheels

Pedals

Pedals affect braking control, throttle response and consistency. Beginners may prefer adjustable sets, while experienced racers often look for load-cell or higher-performance braking systems.

Cockpits and Seats

A rigid cockpit helps keep your wheelbase and pedals stable, especially when using stronger direct drive hardware or high-force braking systems.

What Do You Need for a Sim Racing Setup?

Most sim racing setups start with three main components: a wheelbase, steering wheel and pedals. These create the core driving controls before you add a cockpit, seat or specialist accessories.

Component	Main Purpose	What to Check
Wheelbase	Creates force feedback	Torque, mounting and ecosystem compatibility
Steering Wheel	Controls steering and in-race functions	Size, racing style and wheelbase compatibility
Pedals	Control throttle, braking and clutch	Brake technology, adjustability and mounting

You can then add a cockpit, racing seat, shifter, handbrake, monitor mount or other accessories depending on your racing style and available space.

How to Choose the Right Sim Racing Equipment

Start with compatibility rather than buying each component separately. Check whether your wheelbase supports your chosen steering wheel, whether your cockpit can handle the mounting requirements and torque of the wheelbase, and whether your pedals fit the available mounting system.

Compatibility Tip If you are combining components from different brands, review the Apex300 Compatibility Guide before purchasing.

Choose Your Setup Based on Experience

Beginner Sim Racing Setup

A beginner setup usually starts with a compatible wheelbase, steering wheel and pedal set. Focus on reliable compatibility, comfortable controls and hardware that leaves room for future upgrades.

Upgrading an Existing Setup

If you already own sim racing equipment, identify the biggest limitation first. Better braking, stronger force feedback, improved cockpit rigidity or more suitable controls may provide a better upgrade than replacing the entire setup.

Advanced Sim Racing Setup

Advanced racers may prefer higher-torque direct drive wheelbases, performance pedals, rigid cockpits and specialist controls for GT, Formula, rally or endurance racing.
