Cosworth Reveals Sim Racing Version of IndyCar Steering Wheel

The best part of sim racing is the opportunity to get a taste of what real-world racing drivers experience. The same tracks, the same cars and similar rules are available to anyone across a variety of games and services. However, the equipment you use at home is usually a far cry from the steering wheels and pedal boxes used in racing cars. However, one of the most established engineering firms in motorsport is bringing one of its most prolific products to sim racers.

Cosworth has unveiled the CCW MkII Pro Sim steering wheel at the Autosport International show in Birmingham, England. The CCW MkII Pro Sim is a consumer simulator version of its CCW MkII. The real-world wheel is a popular choice for prototypes in sports car racing. The CCW MkII is also well-known as the spec steering wheel of the IndyCar Series.
