Racing games can be a lot of fun, but my immersion into the experience is diminished greatly when I use a gamepad for the steering. This isn't even close to way you drive a real car. And although plenty of controller options with many racing wheels are available, each has its own set of drawbacks: Those that merely sit on your lap aren't precise enough, and the ones that are clamped to a table or a desk are hard to set up; with consoles, you typically have to redesign your living room. Maybe the RennSport Wheel Stand is the answer.

Compatible with all Fanatec racing wheels, as well as with the Logitech G25 and Driving Force series controllers and the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel, this stand supports the wheel while anchoring the pedals to the floor. It offers gamers an adjustable wheel angle, height, and pedal position and even has a shifter mount for Fanatec Porsche wheels. If that's not enough to get you into your racing game, you can add an accessory race-seat kit that turns this stand into a full racing cockpit.

For now we recommend going with the basic stand, which will be available at the end of the month for $129.95. Racers, start your engines...
