With the ClubSport GT Cockpit, Fanatec has presented another sim rig for the high-end sector. Already shown at several events under Corsair branding, it is now being marketed as a Fanatec cockpit following the takeover of Fanatec by the American manufacturer. The cockpit is now available for pre-order at prices starting at around €900.
The Ares Wheel Base is the first direct drive base from the Chinese manufacturer CONSPIT and is now completing their range to form a complete set consisting of a base, steering wheel and pedals. It offers up to 10 Newton metres of torque and is currently available for just under 600 euros.
The new Trackmania winter campaign starts at 5pm on 1 January. As always, the highlight will of course be the 25 new tracks and the associated new author medals to be discovered from then on. Also new this time is the Weekly Shorts game mode with the additional Top Secret feature.
After the recently published test of the new Anycubic kobra 3D printer, it’s time for another small DIY project: The Spotter Lights from this project are SimHub-compatible and contain 15 controllable RGB LEDs per side, which are enclosed in a slim housing.
3D printers are an integral part of the DIY sim racing community. Initially used almost exclusively by enthusiasts, they have become easier and easier to use over the years and are now much more user-friendly and equipped with many convenient functions. The Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo tested here offers multi-color printing with a build volume of 250 mm x 250 mm x 260 mm at a price of less than 400 euros.
The ClubSport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance from Fanatec was first presented in a limited edition at the Spa 2024 24-hour race and is now also available regularly at a price of €129.
With the 290GP Formula Wheel, CONSPIT has launched its first formula-style steering wheel onto the market. Equipped with an unusual shape, a central 4.3-inch display and illuminated buttons, it has a price of less than €800 and competes with comparable, but often significantly more expensive steering wheels on the sim racing market.
