One of the questions we get asked most here at Race Mode North Devon is:


What car and track should I try on your racing simulators?


So, in this post, we’re sharing some Race Mode favourites and customer top picks. Whether

you’re brand new to racing simulators or looking for a bigger challenge, there’s something

here for you!


For New Racers: Easy, Predictable, and Fun


When you’re just getting started with our realistic racing simulators, predictability is key.

Many new customers want a car that helps them get used to precise steering, throttle, and

braking inputs.


Mini JCW Race Car

A fantastic choice for beginners. It’s predictable and easy to learn, yet still delivers plenty of

fun as you get faster. This little front-wheel-drive rocket rewards smooth driving while letting

you push your limits lap after lap.


Mazda MX-5 Cup Car

Prefer rear-wheel drive? The MX-5 Cup is perfect for learning classic RWD handling. It’s fast

enough for exciting racing, with excellent grip that helps build confidence.


GT3 Cars

Don’t shy away from the big guns! The GT3 class has options that are surprisingly

accessible. One standout is the McLaren MP4-12C GT3, a firm customer favourite and the

star of several of our fastest-lap competitions.

These Porsches each handle differently, offering a fantastic learning curve and rewarding

skilled driving with great lap times.


Touring Cars (BTCC & DTM)

If you want that authentic race-car feel, check out our BTCC and DTM options. These have

stiffer suspension, heavy steering, and howling engines for a true motorsport experience.

Customer favourites include:

provide the tactile feedback you need to find the limit.
