25" 21:9 vs 27" 16:9 for racing simulation

[pallys]

Need a new monitor for a racing sim.
fov is important. more of horizontal image I can see the better.
What's not clear to me is which of these monitors will show the most horizontally?
Can only afford 1080p/ £150ish
Thanks.

Thanks, it looks the same horizontal wise. But I'm confused with the differing resolutions.
27" is 1920*1080
25" 21:9 is 2560*1080

Is it the latter that will show me more of a game horizontal image?
Basically I don't know which monitor to get for my needs, its for racing cockpit so the more width of the race track I can see the better (without image being distorted).

I guess the 25" will show more, as it has 2560 pixels of width vs 1920. You'll just have a smaller overall image.
