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
Foundation Matters
Cockpit stability stays close behind because unstable rigs waste everything mounted to them.
24% weight
Feel Third
Wheel base, display, and extras still matter, but only after the core setup makes sense.
22% weight
