How Much Does a Racing Simulator Cost?

Cheap DIY sim rigs use consumer-grade components, spring-loaded pedals, and require self-assembly. A professional racing simulator like ours includes hydraulic pedals (real fluid pressure, not springs), a 25Nm direct drive wheel, commercial-grade frame, triple monitor setup, high-performance PC pre-loaded with racing software, shipping, professional installation, and lifetime warranty — all in one price. The total cost of a comparable DIY build often exceeds a professional turnkey price once you factor in all components, shipping, and your time.

3DOF motion (Omega) adds approximately $6,000 to the base static price, bringing the total to $29,990. Full 6DOF motion (Elite) is $49,995 — the motion system alone accounts for the difference. Both include all the same base components as the Pro, plus the motion platform, upgraded monitors, and additional actuators.

Yes. We offer financing through Acorn Financial with rates starting at 7.99% APR and terms up to 60 months. At 60 months on a Pro simulator at $23,970, that's approximately $399–$485/month depending on your approved rate. Pre-qualify online in minutes with no impact to your credit score.

The simulator price includes everything you need to race. The only optional add-ons are: iRacing or Assetto Corsa subscriptions (ongoing software fees after the included setup period), additional racing titles, and any custom chassis color upgrades. There are no surprise fees for shipping, installation, or calibration.

Sim Coaches racing simulators are priced comparably to Podium1 and other professional brands, but include more standard features — specifically hydraulic pedals and professional installation, which competitors often charge extra for. See our full comparison at Sim Coaches vs Podium1.
