I want to hit players on a wide range of hardware and low budget. This is because of the technical specs. However, I will be aiming at both console and PC this is because of my target audience.

PC specs

	Recommended	Minimum
CPU	I5 10th gen	Intel I3 6th gen
GPU	NVIDIA RTX 2060	NVIDIA GTX 1650
RAM	16GB	8GB
OS	Windows 11	Windows 10

I chose Windows as the recommended OS as it currently holds 94% of the market. For memory, 40.94% of gamers on Steam currently use 16GB, with 36.96% having 32GB. For graphics, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is the lowest in the top 5 GPUs used on Steam. So this is our baseline. For the CPU, we had to match with our GPU choice, so the Intel 6th and 7th generation Core CPUs are a perfect fit.

	Estimated Specs
CPU	Intel Core i3-2100
GPU	NVIDIA GT 730
RAM	4GB

I plan on releasing on console however, due to console having a lot of custom made software through companies like NVIDIA or AMD I tried to compere it specs to equal PC specs.

Player input

This game will be for controller use but with support for keyboard and mouse inputs. I have picked this because racing simulator setups come with a steering wheel which is mostly compatible with a console. On console there is also more control with steering however, for those without a controller and compatibility PC keyboard and mouse inputs will be important. Here is a example with the XBOX series controller.
