Asetek Forte Wheelbase and Steering Wheel Review | 18Nm | Better Direct Drive than Simucube?

Is this the Simucube beating, Fanatec thrashing, Simagic defeating, Moza bashing giant that we were promised? Or did we get too excited?
Few product launches create this much of a buzz, especially from a company who is making wheelbases for the first time. Grab a cuppa and some popcorn for the comments section.
