EXCLUSIVE SIM RACING DISCOUNTS HERE: https://boostedmedia.net/discounts-coupons-codes/ "Direct Drive" has become somewhat of a buzzword within the Sim Racing industry in recent years as we've seen wheel base technology come in leaps and bounds. What was once a complex and convoluted technology reserved only for those with deep pockets and high levels of patience is becoming more and more accessible to the everyday sim racer. So today we take a look at the VRS DirectForce Pro, a Direct Drive sim racing wheel base that takes a well established technology and makes it available at an affordable price without the steep learning curve, making it one of the best value for money direct drive wheel bases for sim racers on a tighter budget. We take the VRS DirectForce Pro for a drive in iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, F1 2020, Automobilista 2 and Dirt Rally 2.0 to see how it stacks up against the Fanatec DD1, DD2, Ssimucube 2 Sport, Pro and Ultimate and Simagic M10 we've previously tested.

Thanks a lot for your support! _______________________________________________________________________ The original McLaren GT3 wheel was one of Fanatec's most popular sim racing wheels, and with good reason. It was light, ergonomic, feature rich and lacked a lot of the arguably unnecessary things present on more expensive wheels, giving sim racers all the things they needed from a sim racing wheel without an unnecessarily high price tag. The Fanatec CSL Elite McLaren GT3 V2 is now here, carrying on the same theme but addressing some of the issues of the past, as well as including some new features. So let's take a look!
