Niels Heusinkveld Talk & Drive 13
This is episode 13 of the Niels Heusinkveld Talk & Drive . Niels has got himself a new Sim Racing Rig to replace his older DIY wooden construction. This is resulting in a much more stable experience with a rig that does not flex, and will transmit the feedback in a much more detailed manner. The rig is also featuring the famous Leo Bodnar wheel, and the in-house Heusinkveld Engineering Pro Pedal set.
Niels lets us join the shake-down of the rig, and shares his first impressions. In the video its clear to see that the Bodnar steering wheel generates a hefty amount of feedback and that translates into a good workout when trying to take a powerful car trough its pases. For this little test drive, Niels is taking the Lotus F1 for a drive on the GTL version of the Historic Zandvoort circuit.
