Things to know
- Works in any PC sim title as a plug-and-play USB device with no software installed; RaceDirector is optional and adds calibration and adjustable brake curves.
- The two-stage feel can be converted to a single direct-application stage by running a single elastomer instead of the full stack, and the elastomer swap is a tool-light change.
- In the box: the handbrake, a set of 3 elastomers, mounting hardware, and a USB cable — software is a free download rather than included media.
- It mounts flat to aluminum profile with two bolts out of the box; the angled bracket that sets it upright in a rally-style position is a separate purchase.
- Because the load cell reads applied force rather than lever travel, a stiff elastomer plus dialed-out pre-load lets heavy-handed drift and rally users brace against real resistance instead of bottoming out.
