Built By Drivers, For drivers.
Thanks for checking out PODIUM 1 Racing. While working on our Experince Center here in Nashville and other cities, we decided to also build out some of the best sim rigs on the market for a great price. We found too many offering too little for way too much.
This started by us getting into sims ourselves as Track Season was coming to an end. Our group of track friends all decided to jump on and continue to trade paint on racing sims like iRacing. We instantly loved the competition, adrenaline, nerves and more. We believed others needed to experience this as well and PODIUM 1 was born.
Taking our experiences from other businesses, we reached out directly to major brands and created relationships to get the best products to offer to our customers. The goal is to achieve a close to life like experience. We take pride in making sure what we sell and deliver is something that we ourselves would use.

The hands-on team members that make all the magic happen. This team carefully hand builds and configures every single sim that ships from Podium 1. From chassis, monitor stands, D-box, peripherals and more, if it's on the system, these are the ones who put it there and made sure it meets our standards.
