SIM RACING TIP #1: Why some sim racers drive in socks?
It’s not just a preference—it’s a feel thing.
Many sim racers ditch their shoes and go full socks because it gives them better pedal feedback. You can feel the pressure, resistance, and subtle vibrations much more precisely—especially on load cell brake pedals. That extra sensitivity can help you brake smoother and modulate better during those crucial corner entries.
