Racing(haus) Wisdom

To ensure the well being of all customers and equipment, we provide a mandatory orientation and crash course on our simulators before use. Some quick tips and wisdom is below:

Driving Mechanics

  • Proper steering grip is 9 & 3 o'clock. Our wheels ergonomically ensure this.
  • Race cars (depending on type) have varying levels of force. This is code name for it can be a workout.
  • Learn how to brake with your left foot.
  • Race Car brake pedals are stiff. Ours are set up based on spec's from professional sim racing teams.
  • Learning how to judge braking distance and understanding braking mechanics is the most important element of sim racing.
  • The car in front of you is not your brake pedal.
  • The guy behind you is not racing for money (until they are).
  • People are and will be faster than you from time to time. Sometimes accepting it and letting them by is good wisdom.
  • If you see a blue flag and there's a car behind you, then its not wisdom to let them by, get out of the way your about to be lapped.
  • Have fun. Sim racing is a journey. Although some are naturally gifted, not everyone is blitzing fast. Time, patience, experience, a good environment with the right tools and ability to accept constructive criticism is all a part of the journey in one day getting fast.
  • Explore different cars, tracks and combo's to your curiousity!
