Many Sim Racers will be familiar with VRS or Virtual Racing School as one of the major players when it comes to sim racing driver coaching, so we were surprised to see them come out with their own Direct Drive wheelbase, and then follow it up with a wheel and some of the best value high end pedals we’ve ever tested.
VRS hardware is designed in collaboration with numerous professional sim racing champions and where other brands try to cram in as many features as possible in order to differentiate themselves from the competition, VRS does the opposite and focuses on just giving you what you need to drive as quickly and consistently as possible, but doing it in a no-expense-spared kind of way.
That places their products at the more high-end of the spectrum, but also means you get great value for money if you don’t care for tonnes of subjectively unnecessary features like LEDs, LCD Dashboards, etc.
Their 20NM DirectForce Pro utilises a custom spec’d Small Mige motor which is quite bulky compared to their competitors, and requires large cables connected to an external control box, so this is definitely a consideration, but the product has evolved impressively on the software side over the years since its release and has gone from being one of the more limited bases in terms of adjustment to perhaps the most highly configurable direct drive base on the market.
