INTERVIEW
HOW DOES YOUR SIMAGIC SETUP HELP WITH YOUR TRAINING?
I’ve had many steering wheel setups over the years and I’m blown away by the quality and workmanship of the Simagic products. As long as you have the software set up right, this feels like the real thing! I use the sim to practice techniques, and hone my ability to stay sharp, lap after lap. It’s a great tool for people that are serious about taking their racing to the next level - and have some fun in the process.

I love all of the adjustments that are possible with all of their equipment, no matter the car or driving style that you want to simulate, the SIMAGIC software and equipment allows you to make the adjustments needed to get everything as accurate as possible, all of this makes for great training when you’re not at the race track!
