Is it worth switching from Fanatec to Simagic? Io
Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking about this for a few weeks now, but I’m still a bit unsure.
Let me explain my situation:
I’m not new to sim racing. A few years ago I used to play mostly on a controller, then I decided to make the jump to a proper wheel and bought a Fanatec CSL belt-driven wheelbase, which I later upgraded to a DD Pro 8Nm.
I mostly do endurance racing on ACC, and occasionally race on LMU as well.
Lately I’ve been looking into Simagic, and I’ve noticed that there are some good deals on the used market that could allow me to save some money while, at least in theory, making a significant upgrade.
My current setup is:
Fanatec Formula V2 wheel
Fanatec DD Pro 8Nm wheelbase
Fanatec CSL pedals with the Load Cell Kit
What I’m considering getting:
Simagic FX Pro wheel
Simagic Alpha EVO Pro 18Nm wheelbase
Simagic P1000 FRS pedals
I originally played on both PlayStation and PC, but I’m moving to PC-only now, so console compatibility isn’t really a requirement for me anymore.
So, is it worth making the switch?
Is Simagic a good and reliable brand? And would you consider this a meaningful upgrade over my current Fanatec setup?
Thanks everyone!
