The Playing Area & Equipment

Sim racing takes place on virtual **road circuits** or **oval tracks** that closely mirror real-world venues. The track surface is bordered by **white lines** that define the legal racing area — staying within these lines is a core rule you'll learn more about later. Key equipment you race with: - **Wheel & pedals** – The essential physical controls every sim racer uses. - **VR headset** – An optional immersive addition some drivers use. - **Racing rig** – The frame or seat setup that holds your wheel and pedals. Inside the simulation, your car is equipped with: - **Tires & fuel** – Both are managed during **pit stops**. - A **pit box** in the pit lane where you receive service during the race. The pit lane has its own **speed limit** that must be obeyed at all times. In major leagues, racing is enforced both **automatically by the simulator** and by **human stewards** who review incidents. Knowing the track layout and pit lane entry/exit are among the first things a beginner should practice during the **Practice session**.
