Black Friday is the perfect time to get into sim racing, with huge savings on racing wheels, racing games and all the accessories you need to start strong.

If you don’t know me already from my Gran Turismo 7 and F1 22 reviews, I’m the resident car geek on the Laptop Mag team. I have a relatively cheap setup with the Thrustmaster T248 wheel and GT-Lite cockpit, which is nowhere near top of the range, but is more than enough for most players.

But in this year’s big sale season, it looks like you can make your money go a lot further and invest hard into making the most of (what I think is) an incredibly exciting hobby. Allow me to take you on a tour of the best deals.

The starting point for any sim racer is the games, and we’ve spotted some good deals on a vast array of racing titles. Skill levels required will vary, from GT7 and F1 22 that do a good job of training you and holding your hand with various assists, to the more hardcore like Assetto Corsa Competizione and iRacing. So keep that in mind when you make a purchase decision!
