My simulator was - I thought - pretty much complete. At least, that's what I thought. Yet when I proudly shared my rig on my social channels the other day, I had to conclude that I was missing something. It didn't feel 'finished'. Fortunately, I knew what I was missing: a Speedy Rugs sim racing carpet ? My sim now feels complete and how incredibly happy I am with the end result! Watch the transition below and judge for yourself.

If you are active in the world of sim racing, it cannot have escaped your notice that many simulators feature these super cool carpets. I had to have these, I thought! And I don't regret that for a moment. The guys at Speedy Rug sent me one to test and asked me to write an honest review of their products.

Speedy Rugs: who are they and what do they do?

Speedy Rugs is a relatively young company from Germany. It is a company born out of pure passion: motorsport. The company specialises in selling high-quality and handmade sim racing carpets. With this, it offers people an easy way to bring motorsport into their homes. And that, of course, includes your sim racing simulator!

Sim Racing 'Teppich'

Tobias and Fabian's young German company has mostly gained fame for their super cool sim racing 'Pit Lane' and Nürburgring carpets. All carpets, or 'Teppich' as it is so nicely called in German, are designed in Germany and produced in Belgium. With this, they deliver high-quality and varying styles, colours, patterns and sizes. Get inspired with the images below!

Products

Speedy Rugs makes a variety of products:

  • Doormats
  • Sim racing carpets / mats
  • Play mats
  • PC mats

Material and quality

The carpets are designed in Germany and are thus characterised by 'Deutsche gründlichkeit'. In other words: good and solid quality. And it is. The material feels very fine, soft and comfortable. The carpet is quite thin, but that does not detract from the quality. The super nice designs give your simulator a great look.

The carpets are all made in Belgium and consist of 100% polyamides. I had to look up exactly what this means myself, but this material ensures the highest quality and means that even after intensive use, the carpets will show no signs of wear. A sim racing mat from Speedy Rugs is therefore a long-lasting investment. Some features:

  • 100% polyamide, which feels like soft velour
  • The back is made of robust grippy rubber
  • Tested according to the latest standards
  • Oeko-Tex certified
  • Suitable for underfloor heating (!)
  • Easy to clean with warm water
  • Fire resistance class: Cfl-s1 (low flammability)

The big advantage, the robust grippy rubber, is also directly the big disadvantage. It took me an enormous amount of effort to position my sim rig on this. My sim rig is quite heavy and not equipped with wheels. This was therefore a - frustrating - challenge. So make sure your Speedy Rugs sim racing carpet is positioned correctly right away. Sliding and shifting is hugely inconvenient. Fortunately, the end result is and was more than worth it! ?

Maintenance and cleaning

I myself have no experience with it yet, but Speedy Rugs itself says that the carpet is easy to clean. All you need for this is warm water. So don't use any aggressive cleaning agents. Regular vacuuming will keep it in top condition.
