By racers, for racers. Pit Lane Sim Racing launched in 2019 with the goal of better serving sim racers. Sim gear is about more than spec sheets.

The ultimate Sim Racing destination in Atlantic Canada with a fully equipped racing lounge and one-stop-shop for all your sim racing needs, with shipping all over the US and Canada! After shopping around to try and get a good, simple setup to get some virtual seat time during the track offseason, it became clear there was much needed support that was missing to help navigate through endless option

Coming soon from Pit Lane Sim Racing: this is going to be BIG (yet small). Did we give it away?

If you've been waiting to pull the trigger on a sim setup this year, you might want to wait πŸš₯

This was a great event with ! Having a simulator set up in the main lobby where we were able to set it up on the TV wall typically used for Porsche videos was a blast. Being surrounded by Porsches ranging from air cooled 911's all the way to all electric Taycans didn't hurt πŸ˜‰

The size of the screen didn't just make it more fun for those trying out the sim, but it also allowed all guests to be able to watch the driving from anywhere in the lobby.

How's your streaming setup?

Rate this customer setup: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ or would you change anything?

You wouldn't know it by just glancing at it, but subtle details when building a sim can make a massive difference "behind the wheel": things like the Recaro seat, ButtKicker, and the dash. A good triple screen setup goes a long way too!

Super excited to finally have the green light to share a preview of this custom edition of our FRS cockpit. Working with DHL and VRS has been an absolute pleasure, both with long standing history in motorsports. DHL is the longest standing partner of F1 and the official logistics partner for 20 years, as well as being a major sponsor of Chip Ganassi in Indy.

Backed by VRS long standing experience working with drivers and race teams, this will provide an opportunity to engage with fans and drivers to get a taste of what it's like to climb and drop into a formula cockpit and experience how challenging it is to actually be inside one of those cars along with the accurate ergonomics, restriction and seating position.

The experience is far more than skin deep:
- Powered by QS-220 3 DOF system for real motion feedback
- Direct force Pro wheel base, formula wheel, and pedals
- PLSR custom built and configured PC as all our turnkey systems

This has been a labour of love and a special thank you to for working with us to get the paint right (and the stark warning of taking on a yellow paint job πŸ˜‚). Expect a lot more updates over the next while!

How much drifting do you want to do?
- Yes

The heart of this setup is the 2 Pro but the rest makes it complete:
- MOMO MOD. Drift wheel
- Heusinkveld loadcell Handbrake
- MOZA CRP pedals
- Thrust master TH8A shifter

How would you set up your drift sim? Let us know if you would change anything!

"Popped in for the first time had a blast, quality gear and staff made you feel right at home"

Love hearing this! We are with sim racers literally from day 1. Plenty of sim racers make their start in the sim lounge, get used to driving, pick up pace, and when they are ready to take the leap, we set up their simulators for them.

Whether you are looking to get started, want to get some seat time, or ready for your own sim, we are here to help πŸ’ͺ

When a customer reached out to us to build a turnkey setup that lives up to his 992 GT3 to get some virtual seat time, we knew a pro-level setup was the ticket

Build highlights:
- QS-S25 Advanced 6 Degrees of Freedom platform
- 4 point harness
- HD integrated triple monitor stand
- SIMAGIC Alpha 15 Nm base
- SIMAGIC GT-D Alcantara wheel
- SIMAGIC P1000 pedals with a hydraulic brake pedal upgrade
- SIMAGIC DS-8X shifter
- PLSR built and tested PC backed by our 1 yr warranty and remote support so if anything comes up after we are done, you aren't left scratching your head

For pure driving joy, no simulator lives up to the 992 GT3... but to get seat time outside of the car, there aren't many ways to do better than this 🏁

After weeks with no posts, it's time for BIG updates. Expect 4 big updates over the next 2 weeks, starting with this one: We are super excited to partner with .racing and start carrying Ascher Racing wheels and dashboards. The McLaren Artura line is built using genuine components used in the real McLaren GT4 with the same buttons and switchgear from the real steering wheel. That level of attention to detail is what brings tactile feel bringing sim and real racing closer together.

Paired with using the wireless Simucube option, it's completely plug and play with no cables to worry about.

Incredible formula/butterfly GT3 DD setup bang for the buck; if you're looking for value, this is pretty tough to beat.

MOZA R5 5.5 NM DD base + ES wheel + Formula Mod

All the basics covered with none of the frills 🏁

With 2 years under our belt of providing flight sim setups and gear, we are taking things to the next level in 2024 πŸ›«. Some of you may have already experienced our flight simulator over the last few months which showcases the best Next Level Racing and Thrustmaster have to offer, including Next Level Racing's powerful motion simulation ecosystem platforms

Not only will this new flight simulator be a great option for our customers to try, it will also serve as a test bed for new products and helping us gain more flight experience. Expect lots of exciting updates in 2024!

Yep, that is a Halo Pelican πŸ‘€

Our Story

Simplified shopping, extreme immersion, and great prices. At Pit Lane Sim Racing, the goal is to make shopping for sim racing equipment easier, more affordable, and more enjoyable. We carry products to suit every sim racer from entry level stands and wheels to pro level motion simulators and feedback controllers.

With real-world driving experience in wheel to wheel (W2W), time trials, and rallycross, we know what driving competitively is supposed to feel like and we want to bridge the gap between virtual and real driving.

Why do we only carry two brands? Many sim racers often wonder who makes the best wheel or cockpit, what is compatible with their games, what cockpit will be comfortable and feel like sitting in a car, etc. We went out and found products that are tried and true, tested, and loved by home racers and professionals alike.

Why Thrustmaster? Thrustmaster is an iconic e-racing brand with nearly 30 years of experience in developing gaming controllers and accessories. Since starting in 1990, Thrustmaster was focused on increasing realism in gaming and developed the "Millennium" joystick under license from NASA with help from engineers and pilots from the US Air Force, US Navy, and NASA. Their first Ferrari-licensed racing wheel followed a few years later in 1999.
