Two big Prime Day deals from ARES WING have hit Amazon that will have SIM racing enthusiasts racing to hit the buy now button. The ARES WING Racing Simulator Cockpit is marked down to just $228, a 24% discount, and the heavy-duty ARES WING Vertical Dual Monitor Mount is just $160 after a 20% markdown.
As separate deals they’re great, but combined they’re a shortcut to a prime-level SIM racing rig. No gaming chair can adequately duplicate the feel for sitting in an actual racing cockpit, and the Vertical Dual Monitor Mount is designed to hold big gaming monitors, including the curved ones that make racing games a truly immersive experience.

The Real Driver’s Seat
Driving a SIM on a kitchen chair with a wheel clamped to the desk edge is a widely shared experience, and it’s universally worse than even a basic dedicated frame. The ARES WING cockpit addresses every variable that makes that setup frustrating: the steering wheel mount, pedal plate, monitor stand, and shift mount are all independently adjustable, so the ergonomics can be dialed to the driver rather than worked around. The seat slides 7.1 inches forward and back and tilts from 90 to 180 degrees, which covers the range from upright GT driving position to the reclined formula-style posture that open-wheel games call for.
The frame handles up to 12Nm of direct drive wheel torque — enough for the high-end Fanatec, Moza, and Thrustmaster bases that produce the most realistic force feedback — without flexing or shifting during hard feedback events. Six non-slip support feet keep everything planted during the moments when that matters most. Electronics aren’t included, which keeps the price honest — you bring the wheel, pedals, and shifter from whatever ecosystem you’re already in.
The Other Half of the Equation
A proper racing cockpit without a proper monitor solution is only half an answer. Propping a screen on a table that’s no longer at the right height once you’re seated low in a racing position is a common oversight that degrades the experience after going through the trouble of building the rig properly. The ARES WING Vertical Dual Monitor Stand mounts two screens in a stacked configuration on a single gas-spring arm system, which is the right setup for sim racing — one screen at eye level for the main driving view, one above it for telemetry, timing, chat, or a second camera angle.
Each arm handles flat screens up to 59.4 pounds and curved screens up to 48.4 pounds, which covers the Samsung Odyssey G9 and other large ultrawides that sim racers typically run. The gas spring handles +70 to -45 degrees of tilt, full 360-degree rotation, and 90 degrees of swivel in both directions, with a maximum extension of 25.8 inches and arm height of 29.7 inches — enough range to position both screens precisely for the seated driving position rather than approximating.
Taken together, the ARES WING cockpit and dual monitor mount come in at just a hair under $400, an investment to be sure, but one made on two highly durable specialized SIM racing accessories that will have you tearing up the virtual tracks for years to come. Separately, the $228 cockpit and $160 dual monitor mount are each amazing standalone Prime Day deals.
