Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Long-term sim racers will undoubtedly remember the Inside Sim Racing show in which almost 13 years ago, Darin Gangi and various co-hosts pioneered the world of Sim Racing related video broadcasts. In 2018, John Sabol, who took over the ISR format from Darin, and most certainly did a great job, had to call it a day, due to personal obligations.
Now Darin Gangi is back presenting the first episode of the rebooted Inside Sim Racing show presented by www.us.sim-motion.com.
In Episode 1 of the new ISR shown, Darin Gangi showcases the Simagic M10 Direct Drive wheelbase and the GT1 and GT4 wheel rims. Darin goes over all the different options available for the M10 wheelbase, and shows you how to install a 70mm bolt pattern replacement wheel.

SIMAGIC M10 DD Wheelbase
The M10 Direct Drive unit is Simagic’s entry-level 10 Nm sim racing wheelbase, which aims to deliver the best range of torque at an affordable price. Simagic states that 6-8 Nm is what is being regarded as the required toque needed for high-end sim racing wheels. The remaining 2-4 Nm is used to minimize force feedback clipping, and to help attenuate sudden feedback changes.
The M10 stepper motor is equipped with three CPUs to rapidly process the incoming signals resulting in a 1000 Hz refresh rate for USB communication, and a 40000 Hz update rate for force feedback controls.
