- In this video, you'll meet Christian Damm in the simulator testing room at Asetek SimSports.
Before joining Asetek, Christian has been in motorsports for more than five years. Among others, he was with Ferrari as a part of their Engineering Academy in their ERS (Energy Recovery System) department for the Ferrari F1 team. Christian's past with Ferrari makes him the perfect link between sim racing and real-life motorsports.
Besides meeting Christian in this video, you'll learn some important aspects of racing. It includes the heel-and-toe technique and trail braking.
Furthermore, you'll be presented with the importance of ergonomics in racing. If you want to perform to your full potential, you’ll have to make appropriate adjustments in your sim racing setup. You have to account for many factors. For example, the angle of your arms, the distance to your screens, and the tilt of the seat.
At last, you'll get a short introduction to RaceHub. In Racehub, you can adjust and calibrate your personal racing preferences in no time because of a user-friendly display and design.
Features like individual dead zones, pedal maps, and LED color selections make RaceHub the ultimate and easy-to-use software for sim racing.

Lots of great info in these new videos!
Looking forward to get my pre-order... 👏👏
Thank you for pre-ordering, Kim! The wait is almost over now :D
Exciting stuff! Excited to see how you guys progress!
Man, you guys are all in.
You got it! We're all in, aiming to make a big impact for the community :D
Is that Mazda 787b socks !?! Nice !!!
Kool i just brought the forte bundle
I can't wait my order :)
We love to hear that :D Thanks for pre-ordering! We will ship all pre-orders in late Q1 - the wait will soon be over!
But in this setup, are you only doing on road racing, or is rallying and on road drifting also being tested
Is there a source for learning how to map the throttle and brake properly? Should this be changed for each car, or is there a good/realistic throttle map setting to use for all/most cars? I've ordered the pedals, and now I would like to know how to optimize setup.
You don't have to change from each car but it's very quick to do in the software so you can play around with it.
We will definitely do more content that shows more of how you optimize the use of the pedals and software for your driving experience.
Thank you for pre-ordering! :D
Can the pedals be dismounted from the plate they are attached to?
My problem is that I would like the brake and throttle pedal further apart from each other.
So I would like to mount them in my rig one by one.
Is this possible or do you need to mount them with the plate as they are?
The pedal arms can't be separated from the baseplate. However, you can move the pedal plates to create more space between them, no problem.
We have tested with a lot of different racers and even though the pedal arms appear close, it doesn't come up as an issue when drivers have actually used them :)
@@AsetekSimSports ok thank you for the quick response.
@@-Strit- No problem. Anytime! :)
What is the steering wheel you are using?
I believe the wheel in this video, is our wheel from Phoenix Sim (Phoenix Racing) We change them quite often 😅
Is Asetek the same company that does AIO pumps and Many, many, many other componets?
Yes we are 👌
thx for this video! can i find recommendations for pedal maps somewhere?
No problem! We have a bit in the user manual for our pedals (page 34). You can download it from the product page on our webshop.
But we would like to provide even more if there's interest! Either a blog post or maybe another video. What would you like us to detail regarding the pedal maps? :)
@@AsetekSimSports Mainly best practice. so, for which driving style do you use which map? what do you use in real racing? what is the best way to develop my personal map? etc. a video on this would be best, but probably a blog post on this will do as well.
@@reptileracing Cool. Thank you for the feedback! That is very valuable for our content team. We''ll look into it :)
will you guys get rid of that metallic clunk at the end of throttle and clutch? I can't imagine this very welcome in any household with kids sleeping
The pedals in this video, are a prototype. Since we have installed some rubber stops in the front of the pedal arms exactly to reduce the metal-to-metal noise.
It is still a heavy-duty construction so it won't sound like plastic (because it is not) but we think it definitely made an improvement noise-wise :)
@@AsetekSimSports thanks for the reply. I just saw the unboxing of a sim racer, earlier this week, so that's why I asked 🙂
@@EpicFatLip No problem! If there's anything else you're curious about with the pedals, feel free to ask :D
Can we get buy the t-shirt you are wearing?
We are thinking about adding some merchandise to the webshop! You're not the first to ask about that t-shirt so we may end doing that later this year :)
Can you tell us what the Ferrari engine was doing that caused it to be banned
please give this one as a gift
