Which gloves suit a sim rig?
Sparco gaming gloves are made for simulators and gaming setups, so they are the most direct choice if the rig is the only place you drive. Sparco karting gloves, OMP rally gloves and Alpinestars race gloves are designed for driving a real kart or car, which suits anyone who splits their time between the simulator and the circuit.
On a simulator, gloves mainly improve grip on the wheel rim, stop sweaty hands from slipping during long stints and reduce friction on the palms when a force feedback wheel pulls hard in corners. Look for a close fit with no loose material across the palm or fingers, as excess fabric dulls the feel of the wheel and makes small corrections less precise.
Gloves are only one contact point with the simulator. The pedals are just as sensitive to what you wear on your feet, so take a look at our sim racing shoes, while sim racing seats help you keep a proper driving position through longer sessions. Further kit for the rig is gathered in sim racing accessories, and every category is listed in the sim racing section.
Top Racing Shop has 20 years of experience in motorsport and ships worldwide.
Sim racing gloves: FAQ
How do Sparco racing gloves differ from Sparco gaming gloves?
Sparco gaming gloves are intended for the simulator, where there is no fire risk, so homologation plays no part in choosing them. Sparco karting gloves are built for driving on a real track. If you plan to race a kart or car as well, check on the product page which standard a pair meets and make sure it matches the rules of your series before the event.
