Barry Rowland of the Sim Racing Garage presents his review of the SimCoaches P1-3 Pro Hydraulic Pedal Set.
SimCoaches are based in Las Vegas, Nevada USA, where they develop and produce high-end sim racing equipment for the PC market.
The beautifully CNC machined aluminum P1 Pedal Set includes a throttle, brake, and clutch pedal. The brake pedal is fitted with an adjustable 1000 psi pressure sensor, while the Clutch pedal uses a 500 psi pressure sensor. Both pedals have a Bias knob to change the pedal force.
The throttle movement is measured via a potentiometer and is using a 9-way adjustable throttle spring/damper system to generate the pedal feel. Both the brake and clutch pedals are using Wilwood GS Compact Integral Master Cylinders to simulate the hydraulic pressure feel of a racing pedal.
The electronics are integrated into the pedal housing, and are connected to a PC system using a regular USB connection cable.
The P1 Pedal Set is available via the official SimCoaches website for $1,486.84 + Shipping. The pedal base plate is available for $205.05 + shipping.
