This means no USB cables are flying around which can easily get damaged and make it difficult to let the wheel spin in a drift. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommend that shower heads and hoses are descaled at least quarterly. The side-mount steering wheel bracket is made out of thick laser-cut carbon steel and can mount on all-wheel decks from Trak Racer and other brands. Show telemetry data from the racing simulation like speed, lap times, brake temperatures, tachometers on devices like smartphones, tablets or USB monitors. Wireless QR technology: Wireless transfer of data (infra-red) and power (inductive coupling) between the motor and quick release means no external cables between wheel base and steering wheel, and no need for batteries inside the wheel.

Clad in carbonfibre, it’s extremely heavy and features several mounting points – which you’ll need to contend with its 20Nm of torque.

The crowning glory is of course the premium steering wheel from Fanatec, which is also used in the real BMW M4 GT3. Even for the fast-paced simracing world ancient steering wheels and accessories are still supported by the current drivers. Both the Fanatec DD1 and DD2 require very little tweaking to provide a relatively consistent feel between different sims, which goes to demonstrate the work that goes on behind the scenes in working with developers to optimize their settings for more modern hardware.

I tested with a range of wheels from the 270mm F1 2020 wheel through to the 330mm Porsche 911 GT3-R wheel and the difference in strength was definitely more noticeable on the larger diameter wheels which give you more leverage to fight against the motor.Racing games are getting more realistic all the time, with great graphics and precise physics blurring the line between real racing and simulated competition. The DD2 provides a noticeable increase in dynamic range, meaning I was able to maintain an impressive amount of fine detail in the feedback, whilst also having incredibly strong forces when cornering or bouncing over ripple strips.

This distance driver is truly a one for the masses - great for both accurate drives in the woods and full power throws in the open fields.The gain in force feedback is enormous, not least in the case of unintentional spins or impacts; historical vehicles with large steering wheels can also be moved around the track without clipping.
