It seems like something is moving beyond what we see as many companies are diving into Sim Racing. First timidly, and then with more strength.
Cooler Master follows Asetek’s momentum, from a different perspective, as they debut in this sector with a tubular-designed cockpit aimed at accommodating all positioning options, from Formula to GT and street driving.
In the video, they promote it using Direct Drive bases and high-end pedals, suggesting that they take into account the possibility of vibrations and tensions that most mainstream manufacturers do not consider. The official specifications are as follows:
