As we all know, choosing simracing equipment is always complicated. Between steering wheel models, bases, pedalsets, shifters, cockpits… Each brand has its own specificities, advantages and disadvantages.
Florence and I went through the same thing at the start. Nowadays, when you want help choosing the right equipment, you either come across salesmen who are desperate to sell you their wares. Or on forums where opinions are often highly subjective. Or on websites or videos whose impartiality is questionable.
To help you make the right choice and create the ideal simracing setup for YOU, we’ve decided to go on the offensive! So read on, because this is a first in the world of car simulation 😉
Let’s create your ideal simracing setup
The principle is very simple: if you’d like Florence and I to give you a 100% personalized and transparent answer on which equipment to choose, just click on the button below and fill in the short questionnaire.
Thanks to the information you’ll share with us, we’ll be able to study your needs in detail and tell you which equipment deserves its place in your living room.
In the end, it’s an idea that came quite naturally. We have quite a few friends who pass through our house. And these friends have one thing in common: they all want to test our setup. And every time, it’s the same thing: they try simracing with us, think it’s great and want to get started!
But, like everyone else, they’re lost when faced with the thousands of possible configurations. And every time, we help them make the right choices.
So what we’re proposing is to help you in exactly the same way as we help our friends, by understanding what you WANT, and then explaining which simracing equipment will enable you to achieve it.
The very essence of our site
In fact, when you think about it, that’s exactly why we created lesmeilleursvolants.fr as a couple! We made it our mission to share our passion, to make REALLY impartial tests. Even to the point of saying frankly when a product is really bad!
And it’s that same passion and desire for precision and impartiality that leads us to offer our help to any reader who asks for it 🙂
simracing equipment we can recommend
So, in practical terms, the two of us can’t be on all fronts. There are some things we’re not best placed to help you with. For example, we haven’t (yet) tried every VR headset on the market, nor every cockpit. So here’s the list of things we may or may not be able to help you with:
What’s in it for you, Sam?
Well, quite a lot. Firstly, as a simracing enthusiast, helping other players gives me a better understanding of the brands, their products and their strategies.
Secondly, if we’re able to help you in the best possible way, there’s a good chance you’ll come back to read our articles in the future. More readers means more visibility for us, and more opportunities for us to be lent equipment to test by the big brands.
And more test equipment means more articles, more readers, etc, etc. You see, it’s a virtuous circle.
Last but not least, if we prepare a setup for you, and you’re happy with the result, we’ll invite you to use our partner links to buy the equipment.
By using these links, you don’t pay a cent more, but the brand will pay us a small percentage to thank us for bringing them a satisfied customer. And these small percentages, in practical terms, allow us to keep this site alive and continue to share our discoveries with you.
Sam and Flo at your service!
So much for the breaking news! I hope you’re as excited about this new addition to the site as we are. We can’t wait to help you individually choose the simracing setup that’s right for you. So don’t hesitate for a second to click the button, and we’ll see you on the other side 🙂
