Dashboards

What are sim racing dashboards?

Sim racing dashboards are compact digital displays that replicate real car cockpits. Mounted to your sim rig or wheelbase, these screens show real-time telemetry such as gear, RPM, speed, lap times and more. They eliminate the need for cluttered in-game HUDs by placing crucial race data right in front of your eyes. Whether you're racing GT3s, drifting, or pushing through rally stages, a sim racing display adds immersion, control, and realism.

VoCore screens and SIMHUB software

Most dashboards for sim racing are powered by VoCore LCD screens, offering excellent brightness and smooth 60Hz refresh rates. These USB-connected displays run via SIMHUB – the most popular telemetry software for sim racing. SIMHUB enables you to choose from hundreds of dashboard templates or design your own. It supports multiple racing titles and reads live data such as RPM, speed, delta time, fuel level, tire temperature, and more.

Some dashboards include additional features like RGB shift lights, flag indicators or even touchscreens for dynamic layout switching. A high-quality sim racing dashboard can significantly improve your awareness, especially in endurance or competitive racing where telemetry matters.

Mounting and compatibility

Sim racing dashboards can be mounted directly to your wheelbase, such as Simagic Alpha Mini, Simagic Alpha, or Simagic Alpha U. Most units come with brackets or offer compatible mounting points for aluminium profiles, button boxes, or custom dash plates. Their lightweight design ensures they stay firmly in place even during intense racing sessions. USB connectivity allows full compatibility with virtually any sim rig – Moza, Fanatec, Simucube or custom DIY builds.

Telemetry at a glance

A proper sim dashboard presents crucial telemetry: RPM bands, current gear, lap and sector times, tire temperatures, ERS usage, fuel levels, and even virtual flag warnings. These displays reduce dependency on in-game overlays and help you maintain full concentration during races. The use of shift lights (via LEDs) gives tactile timing cues for gear changes, which is especially helpful in competitive driving or VR setups. For rally and drift fans, the dashboard shows corner entries, brake balance, and launch RPMs.

Who are dashboards for?

Sim dashboards are ideal for beginners who want clearer feedback, intermediate users who analyze lap consistency and gear timing, and professional sim racers who rely on every data point to maximize race performance. They're used across all disciplines – rally, GT, endurance, F1, or drift – making them one of the most flexible sim racing accessories.

Compatibility with all major wheelbases

Most sim racing dashboards are USB-powered and software-based, meaning they operate independently of your wheelbase brand. This gives you full freedom to upgrade or swap components without losing compatibility. That said, some models offer dedicated mounts for Simagic Alpha Mini, Alpha or Alpha U bases – ensuring a seamless fit and clean cockpit layout.

Whether you're building your first sim rig or upgrading for high-level racing, a quality dashboard transforms your experience. It's more than just a screen – it's your eyes on the telemetry battlefield. Explore our collection and bring your sim setup to life with detailed race data and instant feedback.
