Automobilista 2 - Steam

Built By Drivers, For Drivers.

Podium 1 Racing was founded by racing enthusiasts who wanted a better simulator experience than what was currently available on the market. We saw too many options offering limited performance at premium prices, and we believed there was a better way to build high-quality racing simulators that deliver true value.

Our journey began the same way many drivers discover sim racing. As track season came to an end, our group of friends began racing online to keep the competition going. Platforms like iRacing quickly proved that the adrenaline, focus, and intensity of racing could translate remarkably well into the simulator world. What started as a way to stay competitive in the off-season quickly turned into a deeper passion for sim racing.

Recognizing the potential of modern simulation technology, we set out to build systems that replicate the feeling of real racing as closely as possible. Leveraging our experience from other businesses, we developed direct relationships with leading manufacturers and brands in the industry to source the best components available.

At Podium 1 Racing, our goal is simple: build and deliver racing simulators that provide an authentic, immersive experience. Every system we offer is carefully selected and configured to meet the standards we expect for ourselves—because if we wouldn’t race on it, we wouldn’t sell it.

Production

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.
