1. Proud of our collaboration with Rexing

   We are constantly optimizing and innovating our simulators. That is why we are pleased to announce a new partnership. Rexing becomes Build4Performance’s new steering wheel partner, with the aim of improving the simulators through advanced technology.

   Meet Rexing

   Rexing’s small team invests a lot of time and knowledge in handcrafting each specific steering wheel. They always strive to push the boundaries and build wheels that owners will be proud to hold in their hands. Their production is small in quantity, but large in experience and passion.

   This makes the racing wheel so unique

   Rexing offers an unique product, it is not just a sim racing wheel. Rexing steering wheels are made entirely of carbon fiber, just like those in real formula racing. They have no metal inserts and that results in a durable, lightweight and above all realistic steering wheel.

   • Carbon fiber body
   • Polyurethane rubber grips
   • Highest quality industrial push buttons
   • Extra paddles with dual action (optional)
   • Tempered glass display cover

   The way the steering wheels are made is also a special process. The manufacturing process includes  vacuum bagging carbon fibers and curing in an autoclave (sealed pressure vessel) at elevated temperature and pressure.

   Especially for our simulators

   The Rexing steering wheels are completely tailored to our simulators. As a result, the steering wheel will not move and you are assured of that realistic experience on the track. Once you have tried the wheel, there is no going back. This is what every racing fanatic wants!

3. A Formula 1 simulator in house? Why not!

   Sitting close to the action and experiencing the tracks as if you were there yourself: simracing is immensely popular. Imagine yourself at the start of Zandvoort, Spa or Monaco in a few seconds. That’s a wonderful feeling, isn’t it? Just start up your simulator and get started. With our simulators you will have a real life experience!

   But what ensures that you actually experience that real life experience? Well for example: through our Triple Screen Stands, audio effects, moving platforms and possible VR applications! Our Formula 1 Simulator puts you in a real driving position and when you don’t use VR-glasses you have three curved screens around you that cover your entire field of vision. In addition, our F1 simulators are also equipped with official F1 features, like the real racetracks: that does something to your experience!

4. The most realistic racing game ever: iRacing

   08:39 Leave a Comment

   Even though the penalty system mercilessly punishes you, making proper racing a requirement, iRacing is the most realistic racing platform available today. iRacing is one of the most widely used simulator games among professional drivers. Max Verstappen uses this platform a lot in his spare time and is very good at it. iRacing is one of the best games that can be played at the moment!

   You start in iRacing really like a rookie. If you race well you will get license points and so you climb up to license D, C, B and A. Per license you can also drive certain cars, just like in real life. You can practice with a Formula 1 car, but you can only participate in real races with an A license. In some classes you can start right away, but also for Formula 3 you have to show that you have obtained a C license.

   Official races 

   There is a very good online system in iRacing where there are new races every week for which you can register (half an hour before the start, see: www.iRacing.com). These are official races where everything that happens during that race is translated into your race license. This contains a Safety Rating (SR) and an iRating (IR). Do you drive damage free and not outside the lines? Then your SR will increase. Do you finish in a good position? Then your IR will increase. With this you will always end up in fun races with racers of your own level. Just like in real life!

   Laser

   But why does iRacing feel so real? They have very smart, all circuits scanned with a laser. You can feel every bump and roughness in the road. And because iRacing focuses on the real experience and can grow in classes and competitions, this is a nicely different way to experience a real sports experience online. You’ll really get better at racing!
