A Look At The New Ascher Racing Dashboard

A Look At The New Ascher Racing Dashboard
2023 Ascher Racing Dashboard

German engineer and avid sim racer Martin Ascher has introduced a new sim racing dashboard that is available as a 4-inch or 5-inch version.

The telemetry dashboard features a bright 350 lumens 16-bit color touchscreen display with a 800 x 480 pixels (4″) or 854 x 480 pixels (4″) resolution. Interestingly, Ascher Racing choose to go with a resistive touch screen so it can be used with racing gloves.

Above and on the sides of the display, there are 21 colored LEDs seated in individual casing bores to avoid light/color overlapping. Each individual LED can display up to 16 million colors. The telemetry is powered by the SimHub software enabling you to control and configure each LED individually.

The slender 18mm thick Dashboard housing is CNC machined and anodized from automotive aluminum. The Power is supplied via an angled USB-C cable which is also responsible for the data transfer. The unit also features a convenient on/off switch. Both the USB-C connector and the power switch are located at the rear.

The Dashboard comes with the appropriate carbon mounting brackets in order to be able to mount the dashboard on various wheelbases.

The Ascher Racing 4-inch Dashboard is available for €369.00 VAT included + Shipping. The 5-inch version can be purchased for €429.00 VAT included + Shipping.
