Richard Neville, head of SIM product engineering at Logitech G, explained, "We've heard from numerous sim racers that their setup should mirror the car they're driving—whether it's tackling gravel in a rally car, drifting, or navigating an open-wheeler with precision. Each of these disciplines requires distinct steering input styles to achieve optimal performance, which is why steering wheel shapes in these vehicles vary greatly. We developed the RS system specifically for motorsport enthusiasts who want to play their way."

Sim racers often aim to replicate the feeling of a real-world car, encompassing the steering wheel and additional controls like shifting and handbrakes. They also desire the flexibility to upgrade their systems as needed or as their budgets allow. This may involve purchasing specific components to achieve particular goals, such as reaching a certain torque level in their wheel, selecting a specific steering wheel shape, or ensuring compatibility across multiple platforms with a single device.

Each component in the Racing Series is designed to high-quality and performance standards, providing drivers with equipment choices and customization options to create a racing experience that mirrors the demands of real-world racing. All Racing Series products are compatible with Pro Series racing products, and select items offer backward compatibility with G Series wheels through the Logitech G Racing Adapter. This compatibility expands options for drivers while maintaining a legacy of precision.
