Unless you’re into ice racing on frozen lakes, there are a lot of people who can’t race year-round. Luckily, there’s plenty of Cyber Monday Sim racing deals to help car nuts beat seasonal depression. We’re talking savings on gaming PCs, consoles, and sim racing gear to keep your reflexes sharp while the asphalt is under a layer of snow. So whether you’re building a racing rig from scratch or just looking for an upgrade, I’ve found some big sales to help save you big money.

The first thing you’re going to need is a computer. Best Buy has some great gaming rigs on sale for Cyber Monday. And yes, I can already hear dozens of you screaming about how you can build a better machine for half the price. And that nobody should be buying something off the shelf yada yada. How many of you who build your own computers make your own tortilla chips or knit your own sweaters? There are a lot of things that are easy to do that we choose not to. Anyway, check this HP OMEN-AMD Ryzen 7 8700G-16GB DDR5 Memory-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti-1TB SSD for $999.99. That’s a killer deal, considering it’s $500 off normal pricing.

If you already have a decent PC, a sim cockpit makes all the difference. It’s so much better than trying to clamp a steering wheel to your desk, or TV tray, or whatever other MacGyvered solution you have. If you want to dial things up, the Anman Aluminum Profile Racing Simulator Cockpit with Triple Monitor Mount Black Seat for $594.98 is a good option. It will also hold your monitors, instead of the Ikea furniture I’m using.

Lastly, and here’s the big spend. There are different levels of sim racing force feedback wheel bases out there. Over my lifetime, I’ve driven everything from the original sit down version of Namco’s Pole Position in 1982 all the way up to professional driver development simulators that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yes, they just keep getting better with the more you spend. However, you get into diminishing returns at the top end.

The MOZA R5 All-in-One PC Racing Simulator 3PCS Bundle: 5.5Nm Direct Drive Wheel for $499.99 sounds expensive for some of you. It really is the bottom floor of direct drive wheels, though. If we put it in racing terms, that’s not even a set of tires for a real car to go autocrossing for a season. So, think of the money you’re saving. Just like real cars, the saying of “Speed costs, how fast do you want to go?” couldn’t be more true.
