Jarno Opmeer needs to join!

[@olishottt]

I love GTWC, so cool to see Veloce out there having a look around. Keep up the good work guys 👏

[@GGsAnon1]

You guys are amazing I’ve been subbed for a long time now much love! ❤️

[@bryceyoung1033]

Awesome, that'll be 2 kidneys please

[@SDRaygon]

I hope they fix their quality control before they invest in more products

[@Bobbarker23455]

Omg stop crying Karen

[@Bobbarker23455]

It's an amazing wheel imo. So cool how much sim racing is growing.

[@SimRacingVeteran]

I’ll know when I get mine delivered in December. 🤷‍♂️ for now it’s the best wheel I don’t have. Haha.

[@MacMurphy]

How am I this early hopefully a good video

[@j-wray]

So why did the guy use a QR1 on the wheel when he put it on the sim, but the race driver's wheel had QR2? They were both gold, but those are clearly different quick releases.

[@stephenroot6067]

Just one question: Do the trophies function as pedals for the sim rig?

[@theonlyegg]

Make sure you don't plug USB and the pedal cable in at the same time!

[@mky_jnr]

I asked the same thing! Answer is technically no, but you can unscrew the gold pedal plates and switch them to a real set of pedals, which would be sick!

[@NamePend]

where is the QR2?

[@matta2738]

You can't seriously tell me that the BMW's are using the fanatec quick release on their cars.

[@gautamkrishna7421]

They are!

[@momorious]

Not the current one but the upcoming new QR2.

[@mako4874]

Wish the wheel had a dash and was a bit more affordable for people who don’t for example own a bmw gt

[@axelode45]

A dash would probably make it more expensive though

[@svenzerx8490]

Unpopular opinion : endurance series' like GTWC, NLS, ELMS are currently better than F1
the drivers, the racing, the balance on the grid, the different types of sounds and actually good race directors which aren't softies, hard fair racing, rubbing is actually allowed for once.

[@filipruml]

just the fact how close the races sometimes are makes it more compelling. It's not as flashy which might turn some people away

[@txmmymai3175]

As much as i love racing those cars in the sim, F1 and WEC remains the only series i follow because of the personality for me to cheer for

[@strikkflypilot927]

Still the Quick Release 1?

[@danielschmidt1990]

Pretty sure its the QR2.. at least on the cars

[@yankeegooner4112]

But the sim racers didn't even use the wheel?!?

[@momorious]

Of course not. It's explained why in the video.

[@DavidGocky]

14:08 they dont use them to distract them but to let them know their going for a move

[@axelode45]

Both actually

[@xyxycchhoo7968]

bentley made a interchangeable wheel first

[@Stewss47]

You can’t buy this wheel until the end of the season. Old stock. 😂👍

[@vjollila96]

would do without radio filter voice its kinda annoying

[@Aaron_Designs_NL]

no its not... Bentley got a wheel too wich can be put in a real car, a racing car, or a sim. So there are 2 at the peak of wheels. Also porsche might be working on 1 as there is a official porsche gt3 wheel hmmm

[@axelode45]

To be fair, this will probably get released to mass market before the Bentley wheel.

[@bn.bow53]

No

[@TimmyTheSnail]

I mean if you’re using it for only sim racing it’s a massive rip off

[@dutram3055]

Why would u only use it for sim racing 💀

[@TimmyTheSnail]

@@dutram3055 well maybe the fact it’s sold by Fanatec, you know that SIM racing company? So a lot of sim racers won’t be racing real life cars but will have the money to splash on an expensive wheel

[@EmmieFloding]

there are plenty of sim wheels where it can only be on the sim and are far more expensive, everything is relative, some will look at it and say "less than £2000?"

[@d1gw33d]

At $1500, it's priced in the same ballpark as *many* other wheels for high end gear. If you're comparing it to basic Thrustmaster or Logitech, then yeah. It's expensive. But on a 25nm wheel base that you paid $1500 already, it's not targeted at the people using entry level gear.
Having a wheel that's 1:1 with the real GT3 wheel is something I hope becomes a trend. Some lower priced versions would be great too.

[@TimmyTheSnail]

@@d1gw33d I wasn’t comparing it to lower end gear. I was saying if you’re only using it as a sim wheel then it’s not worth that price. If you’re using it for sim racing and putting it in the real car then sure it’s massively worth it

[@GabrielKristus]

no.

[@danieltrovato6766]

"Brand new championship"... SRO is far from brand new lmao. F1 fans make me laugh.

[@RS-jq4oc]

The eSports part is brand new.
