Product Description
SimSteering2 is a high performance steering system for professional use. Developed over a period of years, the high precision and completely linear response, coupled with high strength provides the ultimate in realistic steering force feedback for all types of driving.
Typical applications of the steering system include:
- Race car training simulators
- Road car and HGV training
- Public display simulators (such as static F1 show cars etc)
This system is used by many teams participating in race series including F1, GP2, F3, LMP1, LMP2 and WTCC.

This system is used by many teams participating in race series including F1, GP2, F3, LMP1, LMP2 and WTCC.
- PC connection is through USB and is detected by Windows as a generic gaming device so no drivers or plugins are required. Compatible with directX allowing excellent compatibility with current and future simulation software. Will work with any game that offers force feedback.
- Tested on rFactor 1&2, Assetto Corsa, iRacing, DiRT 1,2&3, F1 2010 - 2013, P. C.A.R.S, all SimBin titles, Richard Burns Rally plus many more.
- Modular system that allows you to connect the majority of standard motorsport steering wheels or adapt to fit your own steering column. We also have a range of our own simulator steering wheels. Steering wheels do not electronically connect to the SimSteering system and are connected to the PC separately. Pedals are also treated as separate devices.
- The motor and control box are connected (as standard) by two, two metre cables which gives great flexibility for mounting solutions. Typically the motor is mounted inside or at the end of a cockpit and connected to a steering column. Desktop motor mounting solutions and options for direct wheel connection to the shaft are shown further down the page.
- Powered by regular mains power - 100 to 240V (AC)
- Alternative steering motors for higher or lower torque levels and custom cable lengths are also available.
- A 3D model of the motor is available on the Downloads page to assist you with your own mounting solution.
- New inertia and friction settings for more natural and realistic feeling. This allows the user to simulate parts of a vehicle that have not been
possible before and cannot be simulated in software properly.
- Improved damping
- Smoother feel
- Absolute position pickup when powered on
Steering System Optional Extras
Shaft Clamp Adaptor
Fits to the motor shaft allowing direct fitment to the majority of motorsport steering wheels for Rally, Race, Formula, Kart etc and/or wheel spacers and quick releases with standard motor sport bolt patterns. Road Car wheels can also be adapted to suit using 3rd party wheel bosses/adaptors.
This part is required unless you are fabricating a steering column with a way of clamping to the motor shaft or have your own shaft clamp. Please select it from the drop down menu when ordering. Material: Anodised Aluminium Weight: 260g Bolt Patterns: Outer: 6 x 70mm - Inner: 3 x 50.8mm |
Stainless Steel Adjustable Motor Mounting Bracket
Adjustable mounting bracket for the SimSteering motor.
Can also be inverted to suit certain installations. Forwards and backwards tilt. Material: Stainless Steel |

GP2/3 & Renault World Series Simulator Steering Wheel
Features:
- Real Steering wheel hardware sourced directly from XAP as used in GP2/GP3, Renault World Series, F3, Formula-e and other championships.
- Featuring electronics solely designed by Leo Bodnar for simulator use. All parts inside the wheel are designed and manufactured in-house.
- Same model full colour TFT screen as used by XAP in the real wheel for the ultimate in realism.
- Two replica screen layouts from GP2/GP3. Switchable by using two scroll buttons on the wheel. (Other screens can be made available by request)
- Completely standalone USB device. Supplied with rear fixed USB fly lead as standard for wheel with gear shifters only. Models with clutch paddles must use an electrical connector through the quick release.
- Can be supplied with original wheel internal mil-spec connector to allow connection to a real steering column for use in a simulator.
- Your own connector can also be sent to us and fitted to a fly lead at the rear (as pictured). Additional charges may apply for any modification work that may be required.
- Supplied as standard without quick release ready for your own. Hole cutout in the rear is designed for SPA or Sadev QR however others may also fit. We can also supply with a Go-Race engineering quick release with the male part that that bolts directly to our shaft clamp adaptor. (See below)
- Supports over 30 games including rFactor, iRacing, Assetto Corsa etc with software plugins by Fanaleds - www.fanaleds.com

Formula Quick Release
|
|
Formula Bolt-On Quick Release made in the UK by Go-Race Engineering.
- Supplied as standard on the GT3, LMP3 and Carbon Fibre Formula steering wheels.
- Optional extra for the GT-AM and GP2 steering wheels. (GP2 wheel also requires a small spacer block)
- The 3 X 50.8mm PCD hole mounting pattern is also compatable with most 3 bolt competition steering wheels (Sparco, MOMO, OMP etc.) This gives you the compatibility to also connect your own motorsport wheel to our steering system so you can easily switch with any of the wheels bought directly from us.
- 6 X 70mm PCD holes on the male boss bolts directly to the SimSteering shaft clamp adaptor.
- Precision CNC machined from high quality materials.
- The anti-play mechanism prevents rotational play and ensures that a solid feel is maintained.
Why use a Quick Release?
Probably the most important reason to fit a quick release to the steering wheel of a real race car is safety. A quick release steering wheel allows you or a marshal to remove your steering wheel quickly without the need for any tools to allow you to exit the car quickly and easily in the event of an incident.
In a simulator, the risk of a real crash is, well, pretty minimal. A simulator gives you the ability to switch between a vast range of vehicle types however, each with their own steering wheel types. Therefore a quick release is the best solution to easily switch between the different wheels that you may have in your inventory. It also allows you to get in and out of your cockpit more easily. Choosing the right quick release is crucial. As our steering system provides true-to-life forces it is of utmost importance to use a quick release which does not have any play, or develop play over time. The Go-Race Engineering quick release is the perfect blend of performance, quality, price and compatibility which is why we supply them with our wheels.

Carbon Fibre Formula Simulator Wheel
Created from a real formula wheel design and manufactured from lightweight materials and high quality components as used in F1®, our formula simulator wheel is the ultimate in realism.
The wheel features our SLI-Pro (pictured) or SLI-F1 LED displays at the top of the wheel, high quality Knitter and NKK push buttons, three rotary encoders and three 12 position rotary switches with precision CNC machined aluminium knobs.
At the rear of the wheel, Precision Sim Engineering gear shifters are fitted as standard and clutch paddles are available as an optional extra. We also fit a Go-Race quick release system which fits directly to the SimSteering steering motor via our Shaft Clamp Adaptor, or it can be adapted to fit other steering systems. A weld-on quick release spigot can also be supplied if required. We supply the wheel with a separate coiled USB cable or an electrical connector can be used through the quick release.
