Today we take a look at Grid Engineering's DDU5 Sim Racing Dash.

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!

So today I have both models here in the studio to not only compare from a feature set perspective, but pull them apart to compare the hardware internally and go for a drive back to back to see exactly what the differences are, and which offers the better value for money.
