In the space of just a few years, Moza Racing has succeeded in establishing itself as a benchmark in the racing game sector. Whether it’s Direct Drive bases, gearshifts, pedals or steering wheels, the Chinese manufacturer competes with creativity to offer high-quality, innovative accessories. The Moza Racing Vision GS steering wheel is aimed at a more premium segment and has solid arguments to challenge the competition.
The best sim racing steering wheel?
What sets the Moza Racing Vision GS steering wheel apart is its 7cm circular display. Situated at the center of the wheel, it displays most telemetry data from racing games. Tactile, it also lets you switch from one configuration to another in an instant. Fully customizable with the Moza Pit House software, the manufacturer has even gone so far as to offer different types of counters, and the ability to change the colors and fonts of the various displays available.
Whether it is displaying real-time speed, vehicle statistics or best lap times, this screen quickly becomes an indispensable tool for top simracers. This extreme customization allows you to adapt the steering wheel configuration to any type of race or driving style. All this is complemented by 17 controls, including 8 backlit buttons and 4 carbon fiber paddles, including 2 magnetic paddles with precise haptic feedback for a total of 72 programmable input signals.
With its Quick Release, base mounting system and weight of 1.5kg, it is perfectly suited to all Moza Racing Direct Drive bases, even those developing over 10 Nm. What’s more, the Chinese manufacturer shows flexibility with the Universal Hub Kit, which enables its accessories to be adapted to bases from other brands. This is an interesting solution if your sim racing configuration uses a Fanatec, SimuCube or Thrustmaster base, for example.
What do I need for a sim racing setup?
Although it is possible to mount a Direct Drive base directly on a desk, the best configuration is with a sim racing seat. The latter can accommodate accessories such as the screen, gearbox, handbrake, pedals and Direct Drive base. Depending on your budget, you can also choose a cockpit adapted to bases with high torque for force feedback, like the Next Level Racing GT Track, for example.
For a sim racing seat or cockpit, the Direct Drive base is the operation hub. It is responsible for transmitting information from all accessories, such as the gearshift, handbrake and pedals, to the PC or game console. It sends commands and receives signals from racing games (telemetry data). It also houses the steering wheel, such as the Moza Racing Vision GS, which can be attached using the Quick Release system for tool-free installation.
Of course, a screen is essential to enjoy racing simulation games. Whether it’s a TV or a gaming monitor, it’s important to choose a model with minimum response time and sufficient refresh rate to eliminate motion blur and reduce latency. In motor racing, every millisecond counts, and the smallest error can be fatal. This is a point not to be overlooked in competition.
Moza Racing continues to make its mark in the world of sim racing with the launch of its Vision GS steering wheel, an accessory clearly aimed at experts. Combining high-end features such as a fully customizable touchscreen and extensive compatibility with the manufacturer’s Direct Drive bases, it positions itself as an excellent choice for all e-pilots. Moza Racing once again proves its ability to innovate, and there’s no doubt that this new steering wheel is sure to appeal to many gamers!
