    Hi, that's actually something of a difficult question.

    Purchasing a wheel/pedal/seat can turn into something of an expensive purchase. There are also some questions you'd need to ask yourself before splashing out your money.

    Will the setup be used often or will it be one of those things that gets used a few times then shoved in a cupboard gathering dust.

    Do you have the space, those things can take up some room.

    The best thing in my opinion would be to take a look at some reviews online, such as the link below.

    The best Xbox One steering wheels you can buy on Cyber Monday | GamesRadar+

    Of course none of those come with a seat which adds more expense, there are also dedicated bases that you can connect the wheels and pedals to, again more expense.

    If it is your son really has to have a wheel and pedals and you think it's worth the money to spend then I personally use the Logitech G920, after adding a seat and wheel/pedal base that ended up costing me a little over £450.

    Actually it depends on the budget we are working here with yet out of the top of my head the best racing station simulator would be Forza Motorsport Ready to Race bundle

    There are so many things to consider, such as budget, space, amount of use just to name a few.

    If it is for your son, you should definitely get him involved in the decision making process, as he will be the one using it.

    My advice would be to ask him to make a list of features that he wants and then go from there, I will list a few just to help:

    Will he be playing on PC or Xbox (shouldn't make too much difference, but worth keeping in mind.)

    clutch pedal

    stick shifter

    Seat with frame for steering wheel and pedals

    A standard gaming chair

    Office chair

    Another option would be to get just a steering wheel and pedals (the one that he decides on that is within the set budget if you have one) and then if it gets used a lot you can look at getting a seat.

    I have a
    Logitech G920 with shifter
    and enjoy using it.

    Be sure to keep us posted with how it goes, I try to keep up to date with this thread, and continue to help you along the way.

    I don't think the game would matter too much, the performance of a particular wheel shouldn't change that much between titles to affect the overall purchase decision.

  10. Simulator either Project Cars 2 or Asetto Corsa. Something less sim but still on the realistic side would be Forza 7.

    Formula one games stressful for the mind

    These racing simulators like this one you really gotta go slow and constantly be braking . Slow and steady wins the race .

    GT is a hell of lot closer to a simulator than FM. It's got tire wear (including the need to warm the tires up), fuel consumption, team management, weather (along with the appropriate tires), Pitting, AI that actually comprehends automobile racing, championships
    and endurance races (including 24hr events). No, it's not perfect, but one can most definitely expect a really good simulator on a console... Just not from Turn-10.
