Mike Mav posted a video showcasing the update of his triple-screen PC nVidia 3D Vision Surround sim racing setup. He demos the gear using the Alpha titles rFactor2 and Project CARS. An impressive setup,to say the least. Mike shows us a 2D and a 3D sample of the system in action.

The AMD Radeon Catalyst V12.4 beta driver is released. Various users in the ISI forum reported increased rFactor 2 performance. If you own a AMD Radeon based system, it might be worth to give this driver a try.

Sim Racing Review´s Doug Meyer checks out the Sim-Gear Lightning SST Shifter. The Lightning SST™ was engineered specifically for simulated racing. Designed by professionals to be used by professionals. This shifter uses a real ball & socket design, found in many standard shift automobiles, and offers a true H-style gate pattern with 8 gear positions. Ready out of the box with complete plug 'n play USB windows compatibility, so no extra hardware or software is needed.

The " Silver Dash" is a special dash SimRacingHardware.com has build to a customer specification / design. It features Autometer analogue gauges, 3 LCD screens, gear indicator and digital speedometer as well as dual shift light arrays and a custom LED Pedal position gauge. The dash itself is custom made from 3mm thick, brushed stainless steel as are the bezels.

Fanatic wants to include your opinion in the future wheel rimsdevelopment for the ClubSport wheel. They are currently working on four rims of which two of them have been announced already. They would like to encourage you to let them know what rims you like most and what functions they should have.

During a training session at ARC_Team, Julian Leal tried some of our top products as ARC_Pedals, ARC_Wheel GT and ARC_Gearbox. All peripherals are installed in a special new frame totally builded in Ergal. Ómar Julián Leal Covelli, commonly known as Julián Leal, (born May 11, 1990 in Bucaramanga) is a professional racing driver from Colombia, although he has also competed with an Italian licence in the GP2 Series.

On his blog,Thomas from Fanatec, announced the Pricing of the ClubSport Wheel series. The Clubsport wheelbase can accept different rims. Appart from the BMW GT2 and Formula rim Thomas hinted that there will be a few other addons in the near future.

Probably the best location you can get for a racing simulator. This was recorded in the pit Sebastian Vettel used on his last F1 GP at Hockenheim Ring. There was a test session for all Porsche Carrera Cup and Supercup teams and the introduction of a new racing simulation.

The Type S wheel's design has been born of a desire to manufacture a high end, simulator quality wheel that has all the functions and build quality of a real race wheel, but at a much more realistic cost. Based on a real, race legal, alloy framed 'formula' wheel that is then heavily modified by us to fit the G25 and to accommodate our especially designed plate. The Type S wheel features the 'Formula wheel' itself, an SLI-Pro display, six momentary buttons, plus 2 more shielded buttons/switches at the top of the wheel. Below are four rotary encoders that also have built in momentary buttons, giving a total of 20 inputs (including the encoders) all housed in one of our beautiful wheel plates.
