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.

Over the last few days, I've put the Simagic M10 Direct Drive Wheelbase through its paces with over 20 hours of use spread across multiple different sim titles. Some aspects have impressed me, some not so much. 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.

DISCOUNTS & FANATEC GEAR HERE: https://boostedmedia.net/discounts-coupons-codes/ IMPORTANT - Check pinned comment for some important corrections to this review.... About a week ago, I published a first drive and brief review of the FANATEC CSL Elite Wheel Base and commented that I felt the cockpit I had it installed on was not doing it justice and that I would revisit and do a more detailed review later on. Since then I've been running the CSL Elite Wheel Base in my daily driver and putting it to the test in a rigid cockpit to see how it compares to the ClubSport Wheel Base 2.5 that I've been using for the past 10 months. In this video, I take you through a comparison of the two wheelbases in terms of their specs and design features, then take you for a drive to describe the differences and where I think each excels or falls short.

Don’t take the thumb to seriously, we just wanted to make you smile as much as this car made us smile hahaha - Triumph TR6 - Fast Eddy Tames This 91MM Turbo Monster! Taking a British car he’s owned for over 40 YEARS, and stuffing it to the brim with American muscle has made Ed Olson’s name widely known in the Hot Rod community! Ed’s stretched wheelbase Triumph TR6 has some pro-stock attributes with British styling, which leave him with a very well mannered monster machine. Powered by a family heirloom Pontiac engine (his parents drove the engine home when it was new back in the 70’s), this little sportster is packed with as much nostalgia as it has horsepower! With a turbo this big pushing a consistent 20+psi, this engine has held together while putting down high 8 second passes for over 8 YEARS! Ed claims it’s about time for more power and that is something that we can’t wait to see! ———————————————————————————————————— Check out more videos from this event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLJdsm9V6KU&list=PLkekz7OLX4Q5vE5StojcBJRvLP1LvM10o ———————————————————————————————————— Watch more of our recent & related videos!: — Lambo Caught by POLICE CHOPPER!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peqiNpTzts8 — 10,000HP Blender Machine?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLpvj-j-3nc — CRAZY Top 10 GTR’s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGX--vvKr6Y ———————————————————————————————————— 1320Video is your #1 source for Street Car videos!
