Sim Instruments & Grid Autosports Fans
If you love the newly released Grid Autosports and are like me, you are thinking something is missing. I need some rpm and speed readout on my SimInstruments Dash kit!
Well I contacted The Guys at SimInstruments through twitter yesterday asking if they would add this game to there software in the next update. They of course said yes, but I was thinking maybe a few weeks from now in there next software update.
Oh no. They updated it in one night! These guys rock! If you were every thinking of buying a Sim Dash kit for your sim rig, but was worried if The Guys would keep up with the new games coming out. Well like Nike says "Just Do It" because The Guys at SimInstruments got you covered.
Download the link below for your dash kit update and if you don't own one already check out their website and get you one. You want regret it.

Fanatec ClubSport Hand Brake!
What!! Man Fanatec is at it again!
At one time people were complaining Fanatec was being to quite. Well now we know why. The were just to busy developing new products.
Check out this new Clubsport Handbrake. Are you into Drifting and or Rally racing are just like to slide around will GT Racing. The new Fanatec Clubsport Handbrake features an analog axis and is fully made of metal. It has a soft foam grip for comfort and you can connect it to the ClubSport USB adapter sold separately or plug it into the Clubsport pedals. It doesn't say, but it should be able to plug into the extra shifter port on your Clubsport base as well.
Another bonus is if you plug it into your Clubsport pedals you will be able to use it on Forza Motorsports games.
The lever can be mounted in 2 different ways and you can attach it to both sides or at the bottom of its base to your rig. Check out the video manual below
Coming this summer for $99.95 USD and Euro
Fanatec ClubSport Static Shifter Paddles!
Looks like Fanatec has really been hard at work lately. Along with the 6 new Rims introduced we now have a Static Paddle Shifter for the Fanated ClubSport base.
If your into Drifting or Rally racing you know how difficult it can be to grab a downshift or upshift with paddle shifters that are spinning fast when attached to a wheel. Heck sometimes your wheel is spun around so many times it really hard to figure out whats the upshift or downshift paddle when racing. Well problem solved with the new Fanatec Static Shifter Paddles.
Fanatec knows what us Clubsport wheel owners like the most and that's the ease of switching around rims and the Static Paddle Shiffters is no exception. They are designed with a quick release system so you can mount and unmount them within seconds.Nice!
The shifter paddle positions can be adjusted in many ways to fit your wheel rim sizes or likeness. They come standard in black anodized aluminum with the option of my favorite Carbon Fiber like seen in the video below.
Check out the video to see the many ways you can mount these paddles.
Coming this summer for $79.95 USA and Euro
Fanatec is at Large with more New Rims!
Check out the rim called Round 1. Really Round 1? Ok.
Many people have been waiting for a small, round and light GT rim and Fanatec brought you it. It's 270 mm in diameter with smooth leather wrap and allot of buttons and rotary dial.
Available this summer for $349.95 USA and Euro
Wait there's more GT Rims???
Here is the new FLAT1 wheel rim for your ClubSport base.
Just like the Round1 rim it measures 270mm in diameter, but is covered in my favorite Suede leather! Also included is even more buttons and a tuning display. Check out all the buttons on the top of the rim column. They don't look like something you would use during racing, but perhaps for programing? Also notice the flat top and bottoms. This is a feature many have been looking for to be able to see more of the screen or other gadgets they have.
Available this summer for $349.99 USA and Euro
Yet another rim called GT
Ok this one looks really good for your ClubSport base
This GT rim carries Fanatec modular button system shown on the other 2 rims, but includes the possibility of holding any smart phone with the (optional) phone holder. What great about this is the integrated power supply to charge your phone during long races.
As I have reviewed in the past their are many phone apps that work for racing games like IRacing, RFactor2, Assetto Corsa and Project Cars.
Available this summer for $349.95 USA and Euro
Check out Rene Rast showing how this new Fanatec GT Rim works with a smartphone!
