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!

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.

9 Months ago I reviewed the Simagic M10 Direct Drive Wheelbase as well as the GT1 and GT4 wheels. While I was impressed overall with the product for the money, there were some areas of improvement. In the time since, I've been impressed with the progress I've seen, so I reached back out to Simrigs.com to ask if they could send me the revised M10 and GT4 wheels to take another look.

Since my full review of the Simagic Wheels and M10 base a little while back, I've been asked hundreds of times if the Simagic Wheels can be used on other wheelbases, as well as if you can use other brand wheels with Simagic wheelbases, so today I'll show you how all these scenarios work and what you'll need to get the job done. ___________________________________________ JUMP IN OUR DISCORD COMMUNITY HERE: https://discord.gg/7YzjkFQ ___________________________________________ Thanks to Philip from Simrigs.com for loaning this equipment for review. ___________________________________________ If you'd like to pick up any of the gear you see in my videos, I'd love it if you could use the following links.

So today I take you along for my first drive, through my impressions, as well as my reflections and final thoughts on the Software, the Hardware and everything in between.

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.
