Things to know
- Natively compatible with the VRS DFP15 base; works with the DFP20, uDFP20, and DirectForce Pro Upgradable Torque bases via the QR Connect (u)DFP20 adapter — that adapter is included when the wheel is bought on its own, but not in the DFP15 bundle.
- Currently a VRS-ecosystem wheel: a USB hub to enable third-party wheelbases was in development but not released as of late 2025, so plan on a VRS base for now.
- In the box: R295 with VRS-QR pre-installed, dust bag, sticker set (paper + PVC sheets), plastic tweezers, and a silicone silencer sheet.
- Shifter paddles have a firm mechanical click by default; the included pre-cut silicone silencers can be applied to quiet them if you prefer a softer action.
- iRacing rev and proximity lights run through the VRS Config Tool, but full RGB customization in all other titles needs SimHub (an ATSR-built profile is provided).
