RRP £309.00 (WAS £389.99) | VIEW OFFER
You can’t go sim racing on a PlayStation 5 if you don’t have one, and here’s a great way to get hold of one and start racing almost instantly. The digital version of the PS5 sits at a lower price-point than the standard version, so it’s more accessible. Why disc free? Well, you don’t have to worry about losing discs and you can download games directly from the PlayStation store into your console’s storage.
PlayStation 5 Console (£80 off)
RRP £399.99 (WAS £479.99) | VIEW OFFER
The Playstation 5 is the latest console from Sony, released in November 2020 (yes, four years ago already), it offers improved graphics, haptic feedback, and 3D audio technology. And what’s better, you can even access a back-catalogue of supported PS4 games, so if there’s a particular racing sim you enjoyed playing before, then don’t worry. With tens of millions of units sold, there’s a massive community of gamers ready to provide a challenge on the digital track.

Logitech G G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals (29%)
RRP £269.00 (WAS £379.99) | VIEW OFFER
The G923 comes with Trueforce technology, which means the motor control processor is working 4000 times per second to provide you with refined force feedback, so you’ll get the best sim racing experience. The bundle is built to a high-quality standard too: with stitched leather and polished metal pedals.
Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals (31%)
RRP £179.00 (WAS £259.00) | VIEW OFFER
If you’re looking for a wheel and pedal pairing for your Playstation 5 then you shouldn’t overlook Logitech. Available for PS5, PS4, and PC, this version comes with helical gearing – that means it should be smooth and quiet, allow you to let the racing do the talking. 900 degrees rotation from lock-to-lock should be great for those hairpin bends, and you can even adjust the pedals or add a gear shifter, so you can always stay ahead of the game.
Thrustmaster T300 RS GT (26% off)
One level above the Logitech wheels is the Thrustmaster T300 RS GT. This sim racing wheel is compatible for both PS5 as well as PC and PS4 setups. It has Advanced Force Feedback as well as a three-pedal setup, meaning you can pair it with a compatible manual gearbox shifter.
PlayStation VR2 (36% off)
RRP £339.00 (WAS £529.99) | VIEW OFFER
If you’re looking for a fully immersive experience, then we’d recommend you give the PSVR2 a go. While some hardcore sim racers will prefer a screen, there’s an interesting experience to be had with a VR headset. The options are limited for console VR sets, but the Playstation VR2 sits head and shoulders above the rest in the market. If you want to be part of the action, then this might be the one for you.

Who doesn’t want to hear the sound of a V12 Formula 1 car from the 1990s in a high-quality immersive headset?
Sony INZONE H5 Wireless Gaming Headset (23% off)
RRP £99.99 (WAS £129.99) | VIEW OFFER
If you’re wanting a gaming headset to go with your Playstation 5 then why not look at a set from Sony?

It comes with a 40-hour battery life, and you can enjoy up to 8 hours of use with just a 15-minute charge.

RRP £149.00 (WAS £199.00) | VIEW OFFER
