A few weeks ago we took our first look at MOZA's new ecosystem and were quite impressed with what we saw at face value. Today we dive deeper for our detailed review and teardown of the Moza R16 Direct Drive Wheel Base and Wheel to see how it stacks up against the competition in terms of build quality, software and of course the driving experience!

One of the most commonly discussed topics in sim racing is the impact that equipment has on performance. Many people find their lap times and consistency improve dramatically with more expensive, better quality equipment, but at the same time there are so many examples of people who are unbelievably quick using entry level gear. So in this video series we're going to start from the beginning with an entry level sim rig consisting of a Logitech G923 and Next Level Racing GT-Lite to see what exactly you can expect from a basic rig, then follow through a typical upgrade path to see where the best value lies, and how to best prioritise your spending to get maximum enjoyment from your money! Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro 2:33 - Building the Rig 9:16 - Testing Philosophy Explained & Rig Tour 13:09 - Entry Level Rig Impressions 24:30 - Part 1 Conclusions Thanks to Logitech, Fanatec and Pagnian Imports for making this video series possible.

Today we take a look at Grid Engineering's DDU5 Sim Racing Dash. This is a replica of the Bosch DDU10 seen in many real life race cars and uses a USBD480 display, as well as 20 brightness and colour adjustable RGB LEDs to provide the driver with all the information you could possibly want.
