Just like in a real car, being able to feel how the car is reacting to your inputs and the surface of the road is not only enjoyable, but is also a great tool for improving your driving performance. There's also an optional Buttkicker haptic add-on that lets players feel the rumble of the road and engine through the seat. This $3,000 add-on for an $800 racing sim rig is eye-wateringly expensive, but it can be further upgraded with Next Level's $6,000 Traction Plus platform, which adds yaw motion to the system allowing drivers to feel the rotation of a vehicle during a drift or the lack-thereof when understeering. A sim racing cockpit can be as simple as a wheel stand and your couch or as complex as this VR and motion-enabled CXC Simulations rig.
