ABOUT ME
I’m Mike, and welcome to the Den! I’m thrilled to share my passion for automobiles and motorsports with you. My journey began when my father gifted me my first toy car, sparking a love for everything on wheels. This passion led me to the world of sim racing, inspiring me to build my first setup and dive deep into this exhilarating hobby.
In August 2022, I launched my YouTube channel to document my experiences, learn new skills, and connect with the sim racing community. Here, you'll find the latest updates and insights from the exciting world of sim racing. I cover everything from hardware and software reviews to detailed tutorials and setup guides. My goal is to provide engaging, high-quality content that helps you navigate the ever-growing market of sim racing products and enhance your overall experience.
Whether you’re just starting out, a beginner, or an experienced sim racer, my channel offers valuable information and inspiration for everyone. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel to stay up-to-date with my latest videos, and follow me on social media for more updates and behind-the-scenes content.
Hardware Reviews
At The SimRacing Den, I follow a two-pronged approach to hardware reviews. I review both personally acquired items and those provided by companies at no cost, which I always disclose upfront in my review videos. My reviews remain unbiased, as I do not accept financial compensation from companies for reviews.
I reserve the right to decline reviewing products that do not meet my standards, align with the channel’s goals, exhibit faults, or are not yet ready for evaluation. I typically use the products for several weeks or months to ensure a thorough assessment. During this time, the items undergo rigorous testing on my main setup or test rig. However, it's important to note that due to limited time with each product, not all issues or faults may be identified during the review process.
Affiliate Programs
I sometimes participate in affiliate programs, which may earn me commissions or referral fees if you purchase using certain links. These links are entirely voluntary and aim to support my channel financially while occasionally offering you a discount.
Content Ownership
As the creator of all video content, I retain full ownership. Unauthorized re-uploading of my videos is strictly prohibited. However, sharing individual snippets is permissible if done within the appropriate context and accompanied by a link to the original video. Feel free to share links to my content without prior permission. Please obtain explicit consent for quotes from my videos to avoid misunderstandings. I appreciate your respect for these guidelines and understanding of the importance of obtaining explicit consent before quoting.
Review Process
As a reviewer, I aim to enhance products while providing consumers with accurate and helpful information to make informed purchasing decisions. By collaborating with companies, I aim to address product issues constructively, offering valuable feedback that benefits both consumers and manufacturers.
Collaborations
I am open to sponsored videos, streams, and merchandise collaborations, ensuring these partnerships do not create conflicts of interest. If you're interested in collaborating, advertising, sponsoring, or sending a product for review, please use the contact form on this website.
