Asetek have been a major player in the tech scene for almost 20 years, supplying many OEMs with their AIO cooling hardware. With a rich heritage in motorsports, they enter the sim racing scene with huge plans for a complete turn-key ecosystem, as well as a large-scale manufacturing capacity. Their first product? The Invicta Hydraulic Sim Racing Pedals. These pedals are available for pre-order now, with expected availability in 2022. We've got our hands on a prototype that we understand provides a very close driving experience to the final production version (we'll explain the differences in the video), so let's take a detailed look and see if they are the right pedals for you! We hope our first look at the Asetek SimSports Invicta Pedals has helped you decide if this is the right product for you.

As I'm sure is the case for the majority of people reading this, MOZA Sim Racing is a brand we hadn't even heard of a few weeks ago. Developed and manufactured in China by a team of ex BOSCH staff (or so we're told), these brand new products fall under a new division of the MOZA brand who have been manufacturing other mechatronic hardware such as camera gymbals and even automotive active suspension systems for a number of years, both of which share many fundamental ties with the technologies used in Sim Racing Hardware. MOZA Sim Racing are hitting the market with a complete ecosystem of products from a 21NM Peak and 16NM Peak Direct Drive Wheelbase, to Pedals and even a Digital Dash, and they've sent the full kit over for us to check out, so let's dive in! A full review and driving test will of course follow...

When it comes to sim racing pedals, everyone has their preferences. So much of what makes a good set of pedals ultimately boils down to subjectivity. That said, there are some elements which are fundamental to a "good" set of pedals from a design perspective. Meca's Cup 1 Sim Racing Pedals have been on the market for a while now and seem to have established a good reputation among sim racers. So let's put them to the test and see how they stack up!

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!
