    Community Question | FFB or No FFB?

    Technology allows an amazing array of different Force Feedback wheels in sim racing nowadays, but some argue racing without can be quicker... which do you prefer? Are you all about the immersion experience and want your wheel to "talk" to you about the car on the virtual circuit, or do you...

    Community Question | Wet or Dry?

    Question time! In this new post, I'd like to know how much love our RaceDepartment community have for racing in less than ideal conditions... We've all seen the comments over the years of "no rain, no buy" or variations on the theme - heck, a few short years ago that was pretty much all one...

    We have many exceptional simulations available on the market that cover a wide range of content - but if a new game was developed with just one series in mind, which series would you like it to be? I'm more than aware that a mixed bag of various content in a racing sim is loved by sim racers...

    Community Question | What Stops You From Racing Online?

    Sim racing is arguably at its very best when racing against real people in a tightly fought online battle - yet only a very small percentage of players choose to head into a server and race against their fellow community drivers. Made up fact time. Around 90% of those who own racing...

    With the recent increase in exposure for our hobby thanks to the worldwide lockdown, I'm curious to know how long our community has been sim racing.

    I'll readily admit - I'm a big fan of glove usage when on my racing rig - what's your opinion on the subject? Initially I started out with the idea of wearing gloves to protect my various wheel rims from unnecessary wear and tear and to avoid any kind of water damage should my palms get too...
