Lando Norris might only just have made it to the top of Formula 1 in real life, but he’s been the champion of the online racing world for some time. Drivers such as Norris and four-time F1 world drivers’ champion Max Verstappen frequently compete in online races with other gamers, spending far more time on a track in the virtual world than they do in their day jobs.
They are the poster boys for millions of racing enthusiasts who go wheel-to-wheel in their bedrooms, driving the surge in sim racing technology. Games such as Gran Turismo 7 (from £69.99), F1 25 (from £69.99) and Forza Motorsport (from £59.99), which are a little more arcade-like and accessible, are proving to be the gateway to sim racing for many. But if you’re looking for a more immersive experience, here are the best racing simulators you can buy.
