6k pedals, 🤔 overtime 60 hours let's go
Realistically, you only need the brake
Love to have a realistic clutch too.
Well than I need a gas pedal too because otherwise it would be weird to have 1 pedal of an other brand.
Better save up already.
That's two Toyota corrollas.
@@donlatinohits wtf where do you live. Where im at a toyota corolla costs about 70k USD
@@plty3931 70k USD is CRAZY 😭 6k can get you a 2010s corrolla second hand in most places
I think with direct drive becoming more popular among consumers and sim companies, prices will become more competitive and affordable. Excited for what sim racing will become in next few years.
It is absolutely gonna become more affordable because of higher concurrency! Not only dd but all the stuff such like cockpits, pedals, displays etc.. Even gpu must be cheaper! But the only problem today we cant say what is gonna be tomorrow, and yes, it is quite interesting to look in next few years😅
yeah i think prices iwill come down sharply in a couple of years. dash wheels are at the moment- way overpriced- given their tech versus a phone is far inferior- theyre basically the price of a direct drive system at the moment- where the "value" although impossible to gauge- should come down to about 500 euro i thik when its all said and done- and u compare it to similar tech/devices / gadgets that serve a similar function. fingers crossed.
but then simucube comes along and totally ass fucks the economy with a rip off pedal set
bro wheels without dash is 500 what you on about
Great seeing you mate again!
I love how just the beard makes random appearances, such a pleasure my friend glad the amateur video I captured was not toooooo terrible. Can not wait till next year!
CRAIG!!!!
Just tiny glimpses of the beard made the quality of the video better by 20%
yo Mazz!
the craigo beard is insane
@@MazzRacing MAZZ I'M SO SORRY WE DIDN'T SEE EACH OTHER TO SAY PROPER GOOD BYES! Just means that we have to go next year to see each other again! We will get together and do some racing I'll set up a simple discord or something to get together on or use randoms!
Shout out to P1Sim / Venym and SRP pedals. I wanted to cover but lost the footage!
Let me know what you loved about SRE!
its bonkers good. Also their arnage one is really impressive.
The Actoracer Motion Sim was amazing, unfortunately too expensive ^^
New tech is always going to be expensive, especially pedals with a new gimmick. I just hope that helps turn up the heat on the open source community.
That nice super ultra-wide monitor flopping around on an aggressive motion rig was breaking my heart. It may survive the Expo week-end, but I can't see that staying alive for long in real-life conditions!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who spotted that!
Yeah, that poor G9. Lol. That would bother me too much. The monitor needs to be mounted independently.
Sim racing keeps on evolving in spite of the venue change.
I'm impressed with Fanatec's new QR system. But hope that will be a gamechanger when the QR functionality is finalized and ready to deploy for all platforms (PC, PlayStation and Xbox).
Hopefully at a reasonable price. Because you don't just have to buy the new QR but also a new shaft. I'm afraid it's gonna cost way too much :/
@@UniQue1992 True. But given the fact that the current economy status and the steep competition from new and upcoming players (Logitech, Thrustmaster, Asatek, Simucube etc), this will go either way. But let's see how 2023 brings as only a handful will be able to afford a Direct Drive wheel right now.
Im afraid regarding the shaft change you have to do by yourself, if that can cause error or other issues, but looking forward to the first real reviews/testers when it goes on sale
Mate was great to meet you, and share some London experience stories haha. Absolutely awesome weekend overall? Roll on next year 💪
It was a pleasure, my dude!
You have to ' gahhg' ??? I think the word you meant to say was GAUGE . Said - Gay-juh , not gahhgg .. its called English
Perhaps you should learn it
Perhaps. But it's much better to annoy you 😘
All of the Ascher McLaren wheels are great! The Ascher booth was the best, not only because of the wheels but also because I talked to their CEO and he explained everything very detailed.
That Fanatec Bentley wheel looks like a very expensive toy and not something that can be used long term.
Its a great wheel. Wouldnt buy it 😁
The M4 tho...
Was amazing to meet you man!!!
Yeah, I could agree the layout of the stands wasn't the best and there was too much empty space. I believe Logitech and Asetek gave the most interesting offerings for "the average guy" (especially Asetek, with the idea of upgrading their entry-level base via kit). Simucube pedals were a joy to try out but I'm not seeing those being used by the average simracer (or even their current userbase) anytime soon
Excellent roundup
Was a pleasure meeting you once again, hope you had a nice trip back home! Cheers
What do you recommend for non competitive driving games like American/Euro Truck simulator?
- coffee racer- ?!?! way to show a product by not showing it at al- i recommend showing images of it in its other forms- as a coffee table for example.
-simucube!?!? those prices!!??! almost triple to the nearest competitor. thats nuts guys
-that bavarian wheel is gorgeous- but the product page is a disaster- no facebook page- no contact details- no way to speak to anyone about anything. i know theyre a small family business buit hopefully they catch up soon- cos i wanted to buy some wheels from them
What is the steering wheel in the cover?
gsi hyper P1
It would surely be amazing to get an opportunity to try gear out prior to spending large sums on it, but that experience needs to be more accessible. Despite my interest in sim racing, having been to a few motorsport events over the years, I know I would generally prefer to watch them via a TV feed, but if I knew that major race events near me would have a wide selection of sim racing vendors offering demos, I would most definitely be heading to the local racetrack for major events. I suppose it is too niche a market to make traveling with race series a realistic option for the small vendors that operate in the space, but it would be so nice not to be buying hardware without ever getting a chance to use it. I can't help but think it might turn a lot of motorsport fans onto sim racing, too. My father in law, for example, is hugely into car racing but knew absolutely nothing about computer games or sim racing until he heard about my rig. He still hasn't experienced it, but I bet his first visit since I set my rig up is gonna end up costing him thousands!
Oh! We missed the Coffee table racing stand! - but we were at so many booths talking to so many people... At some point you're bound to miss stuff here and there.
Thanks for the kind words and the great conversation!
2:38 prototype or not, why the hell would you show off your new upcoming products on a platform with that much flex. 🤦🏻
The price of one pedal from sim cube is 2.4K this is just beyond ridiculous! You can buy a decent car for the price of 3 pedals!
But you can only crash a real car once while (if you drive like me) you can crash the fake ones an unlimited number of times!
(I'm not spending that kind of money on pedals either, heh. Neat idea, though.)
@@LeoDavidson I know but still the price is ridiculous, you can buy a whole sim rig with all equipment and 3 monitors for 6K
Man I wish there was an Australian sim racing expo. I've only ever used a g29 but I'm slowly trying to save for some sort of budget dd and a sim racing expo would be a blast for me to try something 1000x better. Great video as always Callsign!
i agree- the industry dosent have a store here in australa to just simply try products and compare. would love a eb games- but just with sim rigs, wheel bases, wheels, pedals, etc- from various brands and even some indie labels. its just impossible to know what ur getting 100% - and relying on reviewers. its why i reckon the resell market is so saturated. people buy and regret soon after.
big gap there i reckon. in asia/ taiwan and thailand there are a few that ive visited and theyre incredible. but tbh rely on the passion ( and wealth ) of a few individuals to put it up for the community as the profits for reselling arent much- given most buy online. the store i went to in thailand was just a rich kid who decided to have a shop with all his passion.
Isn't FANATEC "Sold Out"???
Am I the only person who cant stand Formula style wheels!
can you tell me what is the 4:10 steering wheel? Thank You.
nothing from cube controls? :,(
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON....
haha thx for showing it
I can't be the only one that thinks the Logitech DD wheel is both overpriced as well as ugly?
I'm telling ya Logitech should just sell there bundle for like 600 bucks a pop lol they would still make bank and dominate the market lol.....
I'm like 6'2 maybe 6'3 I've always wondered would I have to build my own setup once i have the space or could i just buy a sim racing cockpit?
Just getting the like in early, I shall be watching when I get home. Very excited to see your exploits at the GSi stand 😁
LMAO, just buy a car.
I LOVE Coffeeracers idea, this is coming from a guy that has a g920 with a cheap stand and an office chair that i put rubber stops under the wheels lol! Definitely a ghetto rig but I love it and its awesome to see cool ideas like that.
Wait, so that's what Fanatecs QR2 system is going to look like? Do we know if they are going to update their current stuff to this system or will you have to buy it separately?
what rig was the gsi gt max on?
I wish Fanatec make a ffb pedal attachment that can enhance their CSW pedals. The ffb pedal price from Simicube is way too expensive and not really an option for me.
I think all this is really cool. I enjoy all the technology for SIM racing games. I know nothing about any of this, but something cool to look into soon.
It was a great pleasure getting to meet you at the expo! If you're ever in Dallas, let us know and we'll give you a little factory tour. 😉
@randomcallsign which wheel would you choose if you could have any of those?
Great sumup. Thanks. I wish it wasnt that far from The Netherlands
Meanwhile, VRS being low-key cool and not bothering to go xD
Great video and it was nice to see some familiar faces trough the video but now I feel poorer than I already was. Time to be slow with my t300rs 😭
Great video! Very informative and straightforward.
6:39 - Woah, what are those.... you start out walking normally to the rig and after a few laps you leave with the splits.
Thanks for this, though would’ve been nice to see that coffee table setup converted into its coffee table form as those of us who don’t have a lot of space for sim rig could really use something like this, brilliant idea!
Is there any kind of release date/price on the Ascher McLaren wheel with the dash built into it?
I forgot to ask :C
Great coverage! And the Coffee space was amazing to see!
A big question: Logitech was there finally, Fanatec was, Simucube, Acetek, etc... but what about Thrustmaster? The last, but most recent too, company to launch a DD servo base for the masses (kinda) and promises of a new revamped ecosystem... were they the big silent missing one?
That looks very bad to me.
Thanks random looked a good event, some great equipment there. 👍👍👍
i'm planning on fully jumping into simracing with the fanatec ecosystem by the end of the year, hopefully they'll release the QR2 system by then. currently scraping by on an old t500rs with some modding done to it, the QR1 looseness looks tight compared to my monstrosity of adapters and quick release...
Can you show pics of the modded t500
@@randomcallsign there we go, pics are in your discord
Pleasure as always Mr Random. Was stocked you managed to come! Amazing work getting this great vid out so quick. Me and Ellis watched it during our journey back today. Keep up the excellent content bud.
no Logitech?
cool!
Wondering about VR I dont see it in video ?
The coffee racer - can you attach any office chair to it or do you need one from them?
It uses a structure you cna buy separately. I'll have a video on it next month.
that Bentley steering wheel is just 👌
Which buttons felt better? Acher McLaren or GSI Hyper P1?
they are different. really depends on the pressure you want. I prefered the P1
anyone know the website for Terra Sim Cockpits by chance? Thanks! :-)
If its the terra I've shown, it's imsim
Did Simagic have a booth?
No asetek review? I’ve always been curious about them since they are located like 2 min from my house.
What? It's the first one
How many of these are for ps5?
only fanatec
Letter H deserves uge onor. Ow much? Don’t know. But sometimes it’s ard to catch the words
Cool. Para a próxima tento um bocado mais.
What about cube control? They had aot of new products on display?
Yes. Didn't have time and they were too crowded. I'll schedule time next year
Great review ! Thanks
ecci made the best wheel and pedal set wish they where still around y all these others are trying to make a wheel as good
Great walkthrough!
What wide monitors are they using at the show? I wonder if the aspect ratio looks weird at the edges.
Samsung Odyssey, not sure exactly which one but most had a G Sync label on the lower left.
Was the new Thrustmaster T818 there…?? It is available for preorder in the UK with delivery before Christmas, but I can’t find any info about it from the expo.
No it wasnt
@@randomcallsign hmmm….🤔, possibly not a finished product? With delivery before Xmas, kind of a flashing warning sign there.
Thrustmaster was there?
No
Good alround video and the Geox shoes you have are so good, miss mine.
Was just having that conversation with my wife. The shoes look good in the video I might get other geox shoes 😂
Also they are super confy!
Where was this??
nuremberg
@1:15 What Dashboard app is that for AC?
race essentials
we never have nice stuff like this in Canada 🤣😂
So silent_boy fun fact next year Montreal GP there will be a sim expo is the word 😉
@@OldCraig91 that would be great since i live in Montreal actually!!
Cube Controls stand and products ???
sadly didnt program and recorded it. will do next year with more time and send them a mail so its more streamlined.
can say their new wheels are top of the game :P
@@randomcallsign okay next time :) yes i think so too ... especially their Mercedes GT Wheel with a real carbon fiber moulded shell with complex forms and lines - not just a flat 4mm carbon plate like all the other wheels. Two new prototype-wheels and five new production ready wheels ... really impressive from them!
Haven’t seen VRS there yet. Were they there?
They weren't
@@randomcallsign disappointing
Where was this at?
Nuremberg
2:33 oh god, this is terrible
the festival of the scammers
6:34 which monitors are those and what size. Im seeing a lot of ultra wide monitors here, im getting tempted on getting one but i dont know what to look for.
