High-End?
We Say Entry Level.
Direct Drive Wheelbases stand out as the top-tier solution for both professional drivers and sim racers based on a host of benefits that set them apart from the competition.
Firstly, they provide an unparalleled level of immersion. This is made possible by the ability to reproduce the actual force feedback experienced in real racing, thanks to the direct connection between the wheel and motor.
Another significant benefit is improved accuracy and precision. The direct connection ensures that these attributes seamlessly translate into greater control over the car. This allows you to execute more responsive movements and make faster adjustments on the track because of the empowered and delay-free connection between the components.
Moreover, direct drive wheelbases boast exceptional durability and longevity. The absence of belts or gears that wear out over time results in reduced maintenance requirements and an extended lifespan compared to other wheelbases available in the market.

Mounting options:
As all wheelbases are designed from the ground up, we have been able to develop an extremely compact and flexible form factor accommodating any rig and need. The wheelbase will serve as the central hub in your simulator, where you can connect your Asetek SimSports® pedals, wheels, and future peripherals with up to 5 USB-S ports in the rear.
In its simplest mounting form (default from factory), the bases come with T-nuts pre-installed in bottom grooves enabling the motor to slide back and forth in your rig without installing long and expensive steering wheel spacers that ultimately can compromise the life and reliability of your wheelbase.
For all wheelbases, we have developed mounting options for any rig, ranging from a table clamp solution, bottom mount, side mount, and all the way to our integrated front mounts.
