Todd Bettenhausen shows us a quick look (more like a glimpse) of the SimXperience SimVibe beta running on my custom 80/20 cockpit. He also shows what he considers "manageable" input lag running iRacing in v-sync with an AMD 7970 video card at 5760 x 1080 with each screen rendered separately.

Pictures of a pre-production mod for the Logitech G25 and G27 by Manu-Factory surfaced on the web. At first glance, it looks similar to the well known Arc_Team mod for the same wheels. Adapting the electronics to work with a 48volts power supply results in a much more defined feedback system, and overall feedback strength is enhanced.

If you have an extra monitor, a Mimo USB screen, or run your sim in a windowed mode, then this software will work for you! In addition there is now support for ARCA Sim Racing and Game Stock Car simulations. With these newly supported sims comes an additional 2 new dashboards: The 1980 F1 Dasboard and basic Road Car Dashboard. That brings the total number of dashboards up to 29, with 40 different combinations.

Thrustmaster has launched a second trailer, teasing us with a product that seerms to be coming soon. All speculations regarding the number 360 on the pit box wall having something to do with the X-Box 360, seem correct. This teaser confirms with the " Licenced for x-Box" message and clearly shows the X-Box Logo on the wheel. Its also obvious its a Ferrari inspired wheel.

TOYOTA Racing has not been on track since the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite this, the team is actively preparing for the next race, the 6 Hours of Silverstone, in a virtual world. Before the next testing session, Alex and Nicolas have been using the driving simulator at TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH (TMG), the team’s home base in Cologne. What’s hiding inside this important tool that has been used regularly since the Le Mans program’s launch at the end of 2011?

Thustmaster has launched a trailer, teasing us with a product with something coming soon. ( Ed. I might be wrong, but it looks like it could be a " Assetto Corsa" related annoucement.)
