What kind of rig or stand should I use?

You can start out driving with your wheel clamped to a desk, but the pedals should always be mounted securely so they don’t slip under braking. A stand is a good next step for better stability, while a full cockpit rig offers the most comfort and rigidity. Aluminum-profile rigs are ideal once you move to stronger wheelbases or hydraulic pedals, which require more force.
