Scoring for sim racers that want better upgrades, not just more gear.

Build your rig
Build a smarter rig, not just a more expensive one.

Choose your sim rig gear, get a score out of 100, and see the next upgrade that actually matters.

RigRank scores wheel bases, pedals, cockpits, displays, and enhancements with an editorial model built around balance, bottlenecks, and upgrade efficiency.

How RigRank Works

A cleaner way to rank sim-rig setups using fixed weights, bottleneck rules, and small bonuses for thoughtful enhancements.

Pick Your Gear

Choose your platform, wheel base, pedals, cockpit, display, and extras from a curated starter catalog.

See The Real Bottleneck

RigRank scores the whole setup, then applies dependency rules so a weak stand or moving chair is called out.

Upgrade With Intent

The result highlights the next change with the highest likely impact instead of pushing more accessories.

What RigRank Prioritizes

The model follows the sim-racing upgrade pattern that appears most often in enthusiast discussions: control first, foundation second, feel third.

Pedals

The biggest performance lever for pace and braking consistency.

Cockpit / Mounting

The foundation that decides whether better hardware can actually pay off.

Wheel Base

Important for feel and fidelity, but not always the smartest first spend.

Enhancements

Telemetry and haptics add polish, but they stay capped behind the core hardware.

Example Outcomes

A few curated setups that show how the model treats balanced upgrades, strong foundations, and accessory-heavy mismatches.

Scoring Priorities

The weight model stays intentionally legible so users can understand why a rig scored the way it did.

Control First

Pedals carry the most weight because braking consistency changes lap-time potential fast.

28% weight

Pedals lead the scoring
Load-cell setups get rewarded
Weak mounting can cap pedal value

Foundation Matters

Cockpit stability stays close behind because unstable rigs waste everything mounted to them.

24% weight

Rig stability gets explicit penalties
Strong cores earn balance bonuses
Console is judged softly, not punished blindly

Feel Third

Wheel base, display, and extras still matter, but only after the core setup makes sense.

22% weight

Wheel base ranks below pedals and cockpit
Enhancements stay capped
Accessory-first builds lose efficiency
