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...

Thrustmaster's newly released SF1000 Ferrari Formula Wheel Add-On aims to fill a gaping hole in the market when it comes to full featured sim racing wheels with integrated screens at more affordable prices. So today we'll run you through the details of the wheel, form the hardware to the software and driving experience so you can decide if this is the wheel for you!

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.

Fanatec's ClubSport Universal Hub has been around for quite now, and while it serves its purpose well, it's not exactly the prettiest thing to look at unless hidden behind a larger wheel and can be quite clumsy to work with. Today, Fanatec introduced their new CSL Universal Hub which features a clever sliding design allowing it to be used with a wide variety of wheels with either 50 or 70mm stud patterns, and with a significantly lower price tag than the ClubSport Universal Hub, so let's take a closer look! ______________________ If you decide you'd like to purchase one of these hubs, or any of the other products shown in our videos, we'd really appreciate it if you would consider using the below links which send a small commission our way at no additional cost to you.

Simagic is Chinese a brand that's recently exploded on to the Sim Racing scene and gained a lot of attention by offering the cheapest available Direct Drive Wheelbase we've seen so far. But they've actually been quietly developing and selling their product in China since mid-2018, so they're not exactly inexperienced when it comes to building sim racing gear. In this video series, we'll be taking a detailed look at the hardware (this video), the software, and the driving experience to see whether this gear is a worthy contender for your sim racing rig, or something to be avoided.
