The unique design of the steering column gives tremendous flexibility for mounting you steering device, and means there are no brackets or fixings to interfere with your legs etc. The steering is supplied as standard with a high impact plastic baseboard to which the steering column is secured by three hand tightened bolts. The baseboard is then held in place by your monitor or screen, or in fact any reasonably heavy object. This gives the sturdiest of mountings and ensures your steering will not slip or move in use. The optimum method for using the steering involves one of the following options:
1. The steering can be fastened directly to your desk via a quick release brass fastener system we offer, (see the shop for more details). This method does require you to drill the fasteners into your desk or mounting surface but does give you the most perfect fixing.
2. The other alternative is to mount the column and your choice of pedals directly onto one of our specially designed chassis systems such as the Race Frame Pro or Game Frame chassis.

The
Racer is a passive system and does not incorporate force feedback technology. The purpose of the design is to maximise performance and to date the state of the force feedback technology does not allow for this. We are therefore of the opinion that a precise well balanced passive device will provide a more consistent and higher performing system than one based on current force feedback technology. For more information on the discussion on force feedback, please visit the news item on this topic.
