The Best Prime Day Deals For Racing Gamers
Amazon’s October Prime Day sale is in its final day, giving you a chance to save big on useful things like vacuum cleaners, kitchen appliances… boring adult stuff like that.
It also means there are some pretty tasty deals for gamers, though, and there are some treats on offer for those of us with an inclination towards racing. We’ve picked out some of the best deals to expand your collection of games, and some hardware to make the experience all the better.
There are a few affiliate links in this post, which we earn a small commission on if you make a purchase, but it won’t affect our ability to tell you if something is decent or terrible. Prices correct at the time of writing, it's possible they've changed.
Logitech G920/G29 – £170.05, 51 per cent off
Logitech’s entry-level steering wheel is probably the best way to cut your teeth in sim racing without spending an absolute fortune on the hobby. It’s pretty much a guarantee to see it on sale every Prime Day or Black Friday, and this one is no exception.
Both the Xbox-compatible G920 and PS4-compatible G29 are priced at £170.05, so there’s no discrepancy no matter your preferred platform. If you fancy going the whole hog, Logitech’s H-pattern shifter is also on offer separately for £28.49.

Playseat Challenge – £147.24, 26 per cent off
Need something to mount your racing wheel to? The Playseat Challenge is a good starting option, providing enough rigidity for entry-level wheels and, because it’s collapsible with any hardware attached, can easily be stored between sessions. Handy if you’re only looking to turn your living room into a temporary race car.

The Crew Motorfest, PS5 – £27.99, 18 per cent off
The Crew Motorfest is in a pretty good place right now, with Ubisoft committing to another year of content that’ll see a whole new island for free. Oh, and it’s getting an offline mode to alleviate any concerns with the game being inaccessible in the future, as happened with the first game.
If there’s a time to pick the game up, now seems like a good one. Those on PS5 can grab the game for £27.99, while the PS4 version is £22.99. Sadly, there’s no deal on the Xbox version as we’re writing this.

WD_Black PS5-compatible M2 SSD – £74.99, 62 per cent off
Gran Turismo 7 taking up a bit too much of your PS5 SSD’s valuable space? Well, maybe now is the time to expand.
It’s possible to upgrade your PS5’s memory thanks to an SSD expansion slot, although compatible units can be expensive. However, we’ve found a mega deal on this WD_Black 1TB SSD at £74.99, a whopping 62 per cent off its RRP.

Lego 2K Drive, PS4 – £12.34, 18 per cent off
Everyone loves a Lego game, and we do especially so when it revolves around cars. Lego 2K Drive is like a brickified, slightly more toddler-friendly version of Forza Horizon – although as grown adults, it’s still a good laugh.
It was free on PS Plus a while ago, so it’s possible you already have the game if you’re on PS4. If not though, it’s a bit of a steal at £12.34.
