led rev lights for fanatec dd2

I’ve been driving with these rev lights attached to my Fanatec DD2 for some months now. In fact, I used them for the Daytona 24h with the Porsche 911 RSR thanks to Simon at Sim-Dynamics getting them to me in[…]

A few weeks ago I tested an SW20 v3 20nm direct drive wheelbase. Anything that isn’t Fanatec might seem a little off the beaten path for most of my readers, however I thought it might make for an interesting read[…]

Heusinkveld Sprints: a 2 month review
