Everything You Need to Start Racing — In One Package
The Apex Starter Package is a true turn-key racing simulator: chassis, direct-drive wheel, racing seat, and a ready-to-go gaming PC, all hand-matched by our team so the parts simply work together. No researching compatibility. No buying piece by piece. No surprises. Unpack the boxes, bolt everything together with the included hardware, plug in the PC, and you're on the grid.
It's the perfect first serious setup for a new sim racer — and an unforgettable gift for the racing fan in your life.
Why Racers Choose the Apex Starter
- 100% complete & ready to race. Cockpit, force-feedback wheel, pedals, seat, and a capable racing PC — nothing else to buy to get started.
- Real direct-drive force feedback. The Moza R5's 5.5 Nm direct-drive base delivers the smooth, detailed wheel feel that belt and gear-driven beginner wheels simply can't match — you'll feel the grip, the kerbs, and the slide.
- Guaranteed to fit together. The Moza R5 mounts directly to the ASR3's standard wheel deck, and the components are sized and matched by our team so setup is straightforward.
- Built to grow with you. The ASR3 aluminum chassis supports direct-drive bases far more powerful than the R5, so you can upgrade later without replacing your rig.
- A setup that looks the part. Matte-black aluminum cockpit, GT-style reclinable seat, and a custom RGB racing PC that looks as good as it performs.

Cockpit Accessories
Finishing touches that complete your station and keep everything within reach.

- Mouse Pad Plate — a rig-mounted mouse surface, so you can navigate your desktop and games comfortably without leaving the seat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy anything else to start racing?
No — the package includes the cockpit, wheel base, steering wheel, pedals, seat, gaming PC, an integrated single monitor stand, a keyboard tray, a mouse pad plate, and an integrated PC stand. You'll just need a monitor or TV to mount on the included stand, plus the racing game or simulator of your choice.
Is this good for a complete beginner?
Absolutely. It's designed to be the easiest way to get into serious sim racing. Everything is matched to work together, and the cockpit assembles with the included hardware.
Will the Moza R5 fit the ASR3 cockpit?
Yes. The R5 mounts to the ASR3's standard wheel deck, so the wheel base, wheel, and pedals all install directly onto the chassis.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. The ASR3 aluminum chassis supports much more powerful direct-drive bases, so you can upgrade your wheel, pedals, and accessories down the road while keeping the same rig.
Does the PC come ready to use?
Yes — it's a complete, pre-built racing PC. Just connect your display and peripherals and install your favorite titles.
Note: Components ship in multiple boxes from our warehouse; the racing PC ships in 7–14 business days. An integrated single monitor stand is included, but the monitor/TV itself and racing software are not.
