The Sim Racing Industry needs to be simplified. The SIMFigurator does just that
We've ran the numbers. There are over 3,000,000,000 potential Sim Rig combinations when having to choose between a cockpit, wheel, wheel base, seat, pedals, monitors, and monitor stand. The biggest purchases in your life (house, car, Uni) don't even have this many options.
There has to be an easier way to find the right setup.
That is exactly what Ready Set Sim did. First, RSS put out the first ever Sim Rig Builder, a "PC Part Picker" of sorts for Sim Racing. After a year of collecting trends, most popular combinations, and the insight from the MySim platform, RSS was ready to train an AI tool to create the first ever AI Sim Configurator.
How it works

The Simfigurator is a free AI questionnaire that recommends a complete sim racing setup based on your budget, experience, region, and what you want out of racing. Answer a short set of questions and it hands you a full rig, every part chosen to work together, with links to buy each piece directly from retailers.
No account, no markup, no affiliate steering toward whatever pays best. RSS uses an unbiased AI model to ensure customers get what fits their needs, not the other way around.
It exists because the most common question in Sim Racing is not "which wheelbase is best." It's "I have $1,500 and I've never done this, what do I buy?" That question has a real answer, and googling for twelve hours is a bad way to find it.
The problem with asking the internet
Walk into Sim Racing as a beginner and you get hit with vocabulary before you get advice. Direct drive or belt driven. Load cell or potentiometer. Aluminum profile or tube frame. Every forum answer assumes you already know what half of it means, and every retailer answer conveniently ends at their checkout page.
Meanwhile the actual decision depends on things nobody asks you: your budget, whether you're racing on PC or console, how much space you have, and whether you want to dabble or you're chasing something serious.
The Simfigurator asks those questions first. Then it recommends.
What it asks, and why
- Budget. The whole recommendation flows from this. A $800 rig and a $4,000 rig are different answers, not better and worse versions of one answer.
- Experience. A first setup and a third setup have different priorities. Beginners get gear with room to grow into; experienced racers get pointed at the upgrade that actually moves the needle.
- Region. Pricing and availability differ across the US, EU, and UK. A recommendation you can't buy locally is trivia, not advice.
- Aspiration. Casual weekend laps, league racing, a specific discipline like drifting or rally. What you want to do shapes what you should sit in.

The result
A complete, compatible setup uploaded right to the Sim Rig Builder: wheelbase, wheel, pedals, cockpit, and the supporting pieces, matched to your answers. Compatibility is checked against our database of 600+ products, the same one behind the Sim Rig Builder, so the parts on the list actually bolt together.

Every recommendation links out to the retailer. You buy direct at their price. We never mark anything up.
Don't like a pick? You can easily swap out for a product that fits you better.
What's next for the SIMFigurator?
As RSS is able to collect more instances, the model will become even better at providing perfect results. RSS aims to add more product categories to the SIMFigurator and even plan on adding a chat option, so you can ask questions to clarify and ensure you are getting the best setup for your needs.
