Racing Video Games
No point in having all that hardware without the right apps to make it useful, right? Well, luckily, there’s lots to choose from in what is a historical time for racing video games. Jump over the Welsh hedgerows in Forza Horizon 4, race against actual real-world drivers in Gran Turismo Sport, experience the razor-sharp virtual models in iRacing or explore the racing underworld in Need for Speed: Heat; there’s something for everyone these days. Even farmers. That Farming Simulator thing we spoke about in the last section? Yeah. That exists.
Driving Shoes
Whether going for a Sunday drive or taking to the track, ensuring that you have the right footwear can mean the difference between the perfect heel-and-toe downshift and a trip to the parts bin. To that end, companies like Sparco, Piloti and Puma are busy creating a variety of shoes in a variety of styles, from the casual Piloti Sector to the hardcore Sparco SFI 20. If you want an interesting mix between the two, have a look at Hunziker Design for functional shoes finished in classic racing liveries from Gulf, Lotus and Martini.
Dashboard Camera
Whether they’re there to record your hot lap in real time or ensure that the crazy driver launching themselves at your car doesn’t get the insurance company on his or her side, dash cams are becoming more and more present these days. Footage recorded there could do well to lower your insurance premiums or help absolve you of any wrongdoing in an event of an accident should you be bereft of witnesses. Garmin, Z-Edge, Cobra and more all have options to choose from with a range in price and quality.
