Innovative Sim Racing Products For 2025

5 Innovative Sim Racing Products to Watch in 2025

2025 is here, bringing another year of groundbreaking sim racing equipment and exciting innovations. From confirmed announcements to intriguing rumors, the sim racing industry is evolving faster than ever. Here are five products we can’t wait to explore in 2025, each promising to push the boundaries of immersion and performance.

1. Simlab Wheelbases

Simlab, renowned for its top-tier cockpits like the GT1-Evo and P1-X, is expanding its product lineup in a big way. Known for their exceptional cockpits, accessories, and monitor stands, Simlab has recently delved into hardware peripherals with products like their pedal set, handbrake, and the $2,500 Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Replica Wheel.

In 2024, Simlab announced its highly anticipated wheelbase lineup, set to release in 2025. The lineup includes three options: 15Nm, 25Nm, and 35Nm models. With torque levels that rival the most powerful wheelbases on the market, Simlab’s 35Nm wheelbase is poised to dominate.

Richard, Simlab’s founder, confirmed these wheelbases will feature motors manufactured in Europe and 1,000-watt power supplies, ensuring peak performance. This commitment to quality and power has us eagerly awaiting the release of these wheelbases.

2. Simucube Sport Active Pedal

The Simucube Active Pedal line has already set a new standard in sim racing. Featuring force feedback mechanisms, these pedals bring unparalleled immersion to sim racers. Simucube has released the Active Pedal Ultimate and Pro models, and rumors suggest a Sport version could be coming in 2025.

The Ultimate model delivers an impressive 170kg of force compared to the Pro’s 110kg, offering modular features for customization. If the Sport version follows the same philosophy, it’ll likely offer a more accessible price point without sacrificing innovation. We’re excited to see how Simucube continues to elevate the sim racing experience.

3. Simagic Alpha Evo Wheelbase

Simagic revealed their Alpha Evo Wheelbase at ADAC, aiming to deliver a “budget” option with 12Nm of torque. While this is an exciting development, it raises questions about Simagic’s direction. Known for its mid-to-high-end products, Simagic’s move into the budget market could dilute its brand identity.

Unlike Simucube, which focuses on refining its high-end offerings, Simagic’s expansion into more affordable options may shift attention away from its Alpha lineup. Despite these concerns, the Neo X, the “Up+” button box, and the new Alpha Evo lineup are exciting additions we can’t wait to test.

4. Thermaltake Motion System

Thermaltake, a brand typically associated with PC hardware, is stepping into the sim racing market. While their wheel and pedals are less noteworthy, their motion system has caught our attention.

Their cockpit, priced at $830, features aluminum tubing and is designed to support high-end wheelbases like Simucube. However, its design has some flex points, which may deter some users. The standout product is their 3-degree motion system, priced at $3,999. While details are scarce, this price point makes it an intriguing option for sim racers looking to enhance immersion.

5. Cooler Master Cockpit

Cooler Master’s entry into sim racing is turning heads with their innovative cockpit design. Unlike typical tubular chassis, this cockpit offers exceptional modularity and adjustability. It supports multiple seating, pedal, and wheelbase configurations, making it versatile enough for both F1 and GT setups.

With a $1,999 price tag, it’s on the higher end, but the flexibility and adjustability could make it worth the investment for serious sim racers. Cooler Master’s cockpit is one to watch as the market for premium sim racing setups continues to grow.

Conclusion

These five products highlight the innovation and excitement driving the sim racing industry in 2025. Whether it’s groundbreaking wheelbases, next-level pedals, or immersive motion systems, there’s something for every sim racing enthusiast to look forward to.
