In my opinion last year was better. But probably because there had been more new, innovative products than this year. Most exhibition stand have been smaller, Logitech and Gomez haven´t been there. Fanatec was disappointing. Especially this ridcoulous gyro movement in the Bentley wheel. MHO.

Got mixed feelings to be honest. On the positive side it's been possible to see a lot of gear in real life for the first time and beeing able to compare stuff side by side. On the negative side for me the Expo been suffering of their own success as Saturday been too crowded. Already at 11am long queues everywhere. And most of the boots been too occupied to properly talk to the exhibitors. Closing the gates at 6pm already didn't really pay into spreading the visitors evenly across the day. But eventually I where able to test the equipment I've been eyeballing with on Sunday and got a really nice conversation with one of the students building the Student Champion ship racer located at the Asetek booth. By the way, the supplier to Sabelt developing the haptic feedback seat, "SenseIt!" also had a small booth down the aisle. They told me the seat may be offered by Sabelt somewhere in the area around 1200€.

I also loved the P1 Mistral! I come from a T300 brake, so most of the loadcells at the expo felt like a total brick wall, I had no idea how much pressure I put in. But the P1's haptic motor game me a great feedback. Looked online and there's no proper review on them yet, would be great to see some experienced loadcell user looking into them soon. By the way, I went on Sunday and it was not half as packed as in the video. I tested more than 15 rigs with many different wheelbases and pedals and had almost no waiting time, always under 10 mins. You should come on Sundays lmao

Fanatec stole the show when I was there it was all people were talking about. But the true haters who dont even support fanatec dont want to believe it. Trying to act like fanatec wheelbases just arent good yet the dd pro is the best 5 to 10nm wheelbase on the market except for the simagic but even those side by side are pretty much identical in feel and here we sre with a massive uplift in detail and strength with the dd/dd+ and its just next level good. Asetek and simucube level for sure. I suggest to get the dd+ guys its like the dd pro when you get the 8 it wss made for 8 and you can tell. Same thing for the dd and dd+ something anout the dd+ just feels bettter and its not even just the strength its the solid grip feel when cornering and even slightly finer details just a little more but its there. I think both are fantastic but I truely believe the fanatec dd+ is a massive game changer and when full force comes out idk what will actually be able to compete with it tbh.

I actually got to try one of the BavarianSimTec rigs, the steeringwheel felt great, and the rig was suprisingly comfortable for its size, even for me, being 1,92m. The Asetek invicta kit they had was also probably the best kit I ever tested, though the Simagic P2000 on the left rig at the Rennwelten booth might be better, depending on setup. It was a great experience for me, first time testing real high end stuff, first time on loadcell and hydraulic brakes, first time in motion rigs (though the Actoracer and Novus I tested did not impress me all that much, the one from the booth with the pneumatic cushions was way better, even if it didnt have the cushions). I'll definitely be going again next year, definitely on a Friday again.
