We’ve been providing expert advice and support to customers on their best options for sim racing gear for years. As we analyse our most frequently recommended products and customer purchases and add our own experience from using this equipment every day, we’ve put together a great deal for you to experience a major sim rig upgrade. Our “Cube Controls F-Core + Simucube 2 Sport + Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Sprint” bundle makes the ultimate upgrade for drivers who feel ready to progress to the next level.
Cube Controls F-Core
The Cube Controls F-Core wheel may be the entry level Cube Controls wheel, but there’s nothing “entry level” about it. The F-Core boasts exceptional assignability with its abundant rotaries, toggles, and momentary push buttons. This wireless wheel now features two “funky switches” and two optional clutch paddles, making it clear why Bluetooth has been added to provide that much needed extra bandwidth for additional features. With a new generation of communication protocol, the F-Core provides everything you need to compete at the highest level of sim racing.
The F-Core features an intuitive layout with large, colourful momentary push buttons with a rewarding, tactile feel providing a practical and immersive experience. The injection-moulded button shrouds, typical of most Cube Controls wheels, make it another screenless, “VR friendly” sim steering wheel that is easy to learn.
The F-Core features a one-piece die-cast aluminium body and a thick carbon fibre front plate, ensuring a solid and lightweight design with zero flex. The quality of the finish is exceptional, with the carbon faceplate finished in a deep gloss and a hand-painted Cube Controls logo embossed on the front. Revised paddle shift bodies activated by thick carbon paddles and custom neodymium magnets can be found at the rear, with the overall design well thought out and highly intuitive.
The F-Core wheel provides both Bluetooth and wired connectivity, making it compatible with any wheelbase. Mounting the wheel is also easy with Cube Controls’ excellent Universal Hub Mount (optional purchase), which is supplied fitted to the back of the wheel and accommodates a 6x70mm PCD or 50mm PCD bolt pattern. With exceptional grip material that has received rave reviews from early testers, the Cube Controls F-Core wheel is a top choice for sim racing enthusiasts.
Wheelbase compatibility is not an issue with the F-Core, as it provides both Bluetooth and wired USB connectivity for your PC. Sim racers can enjoy the freedom of wireless Bluetooth connectivity (with any wheelbase), and/or use the magnetic USB Q-CONN cable for a wired connection directly to their gaming machine.
Simucube 2 Sport
The Simucube 2 Sport direct drive (DD) wheelbase offers a highly immersive racing simulation experience with its higher torque levels compared to lower powered DD wheelbases. Simucube’s technology stands out in the market, with state-of-the-art electronics, advanced torque response, and high-resolution digital signal processing (DSP) that provide highly realistic and responsive feedback at the wheel.
The Direct Drive technology ensures a superior and direct connection between the racing environment and your wheel opening an entirely new universe of fidelity and realism. The level of precision and detail will surprise you, making every bump, turn, and slide feel like you’re righ there on the race track.
Simucube’s True Drive technology allows you to take control of your racing experience by giving you the tools you need to customize and fine-tune the force feedback (FFB) signal to your personal preferences. And, with Simucubes recent True Drive Paddock update, you can easily get started with preset FFB profiles, ranked by popularity for your favorite sim software, such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor2, and more. The Simucube 2 Sport is designed for the slightly lower budget sim-racing market while still providing the same advanced technology and customization options comparable to the larger and more expensive Simucube 2 Pro.
Featuring a torque output of 17Nm, the Simucube 2 Sport is intended for sim-racers who seek a high-quality and realistic racing experience without requiring the same level of output torque as the Simucube 2 Pro. The wheelbase offers exceptional build quality with Simucube’s industrial-grade electronics, custom motor, and True Drive effects technology, all at an affordable price.
Whether you are a seasoned racer or a newcomer to the sim racing world, the Simucube 2 Sport is guaranteed to provide an unparalleled racing experience with its advanced technology, superior control, and exceptional build quality.
Heusinkveld Sprint Two Pedal Set
The go-to choice for sim racers. If you can only own one set of sim racing pedals for the rest of your life, the Sprints would be a very good choice! The Sprint pedals feature adjustable pedal angle and height, allowing for easy setup and configuration using the powerful SmartControl software. Calibration is quick and easy and you can be on track in minutes with their almost “plug and play” ease of setup.
Sim Pedals Sprint, which boast a maximum brake pedal force of 65kg via the onboard load cell. The elastomers (which can be changed to different arrangements to increase or decrease the stiffness of the pedal) provide the perfect level of input resistance. With improved adjustability on the throttle and fine input control you can achieve a consistent and enjoyable experience on every lap handling every slide and oversteer moment!
The Sim Pedals Sprint are precision-engineered using CNC precision-cut steel with a shot bead finish on the pedal and side plates, providing a durable and hard-wearing design. These pedals have adjustable angles and pre-load settings via the springs, and you can adjust the stiffness of the brake pedal using various combinations of the supplied rubber packers and spacers. The pedals can be mounted individually or via the Heusinkveld Sprint baseplate for better control over mounting and spacing. The design is simple, it works and they last. A long time!
