About Sim Racing
Simulator Racing, also known as ‘SIM Racing‘, attempts to accurately simulate real-life driving. Variables such as suspension, tire wear, grip and even fuel consumption all play a part in your SIM experience, as it would for a real car. It is unlike ‘arcade style’ driving games where real-world variables are taken out of the equation and the principal objective is to create a sense of speed as opposed to a sense of realism.
As a result of this enhanced realism, SIM racing finds itself in a unique niche where the skills between virtual and reality are the most transferable compared to other video games. They are so accurate that many real-world motorsport teams (such as Ferrari, Mercedes etc.) will use these simulators to train their drivers prior to them performing at the real tracks.
So why did SIM Racing started getting popular?
-
Cost of simulators compared to real world cars is extremely low.
-
Your garage can store endless makes & models of cars.
-
Time investment to reach a ‘competitive’ standards are shortened.
Modern motorsport has evolved to the point where the distinction between “gamer” and “driver” is nearly non-existent. For professionals and enthusiasts alike, sim racing isn’t just a game—it’s a high-fidelity training laboratory.
In real-world racing, every lap has a literal price tag involving fuel, tires, brake pads, and engine hours. A single weekend of track testing can cost upwards of $5,000 to $25,000.
Zero Consumables: In a simulator, you can run 500 laps for the cost of electricity alone.
Risk-Free Limit Testing: You can find the “edge” of the car’s grip and even crash without a $50,000 repair bill, allowing you to build confidence faster.
Most modern sims use Laser Scanning Technology to map tracks with millimeter precision.
The “I’ve Been Here Before” Effect: Drivers can memorize every bump, kerb, and braking marker at a new circuit before they even arrive.
Reference Points: By the time a driver hits the real asphalt, they already have their turn-in points and apexes burned into their visual memory.
The beauty of SIM Racing is it’s limitless possibilities. Not only are you able to enjoy tracks from all over the world, you are also able to enjoy all the different types of driving styles such as drifting, rally, circuit racing, Formula racing.
One is also able to create their car profiles according to how they’d like to have it done and tuned. Customizing every individual car’s performance, following real-life set-ups.
Racing is about more than just driving fast; it’s about managing traffic and split-second decision-making.
Muscle Memory: Using high-end hardware (like Ascher Racing wheels and load-cell pedals) trains your nervous system to modulate brakes and steering with the same physical pressure required in a real GT3 or Formula car.
Spatial Awareness: Sim racing forces you to track multiple cars in your peripheral vision and predict their movements, a skill that translates directly to “opening lap” survival in real life.

S5 Racing Set-Ups
There’s a misconception that a racing set-up has to be completed with every component one can imagine, but that is far from the truth. Racing set-ups don’t have to be comprehensive and complicated.
One can start e-racing with set-ups as simple as mounting a wheelset to a desk while playing a Racing game on a computer. As we all know, here in Singapore most of us also do not have the luxury of space in our homes.
But of course, the experience you receive from a simple set-up like this will differ from a more comprehensive set-up. Every set-up is different and unique – it all depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for, and what you wish to achieve.
This is why we specialize in customizing our clients’ set-ups. We ensure our clients are only getting the things they NEED. Because while an expensive set-up may seem better, it may not be the right FIT for everyone.
This way we can provide our clients the best experience at the right value.

How does a customized rig benefit you?
1. Physics Functionality
A customized rig is built according to your physics build. This ensures that your pedals, shifter and steering wheel placement is according to your height and body measurements. This will allow its drivers to optimize their movements and be able to reach their full driving potential on the SIM Tracks.
2. Advantages
The driver intended for the rig will feel much more comfortable with a custom-built set-up, and allow them to achieve optimum results in their SIM racing experience. It allows the intended driver to gain more accuracy in their turning and braking points and be able to achieve better results.
Redefining IT services according to our clients’ needs.
