Thermaltake is expanding its presence in the world of sim racing with two exciting new products: the G6 Direct Drive Racing Wheel Bundle and the GM5 3DOF Motion System. These two offerings promise to elevate the sim racing experience with unparalleled realism and immersion.
The G6 bundle delivers a complete sim racing setup designed for accuracy and responsiveness. At its core is a direct-drive servo motor housed in an aluminum wheelbase, providing precise control and realistic force feedback. The bundle also includes a three-pedal set (accelerator, brake, and clutch) with adjustable mounting options for a customised and stable feel. A racing-grade quick-release system allows for easy swapping of the included 13-inch steering wheel, which features dual-clutch paddles. To ensure optimal performance even during extended racing sessions, the G6 incorporates dual motor cooling with an integrated temperature sensor and a low-noise fan.
For those seeking the ultimate in sim racing immersion, the GM5 3DOF Motion System recreates real-world movements and sensations. This lightweight and easy-to-install system boasts precise dynamic control with a 1000 Hz control frequency and less than 5 ms latency. The GM5 supports a wide range of vibration frequencies (0-100 Hz), accurately simulating various driving and flying scenarios. It's compatible with both the Thermaltake GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit and the GF500 Flight Simulator Cockpit, offering versatility for different sim setups. Integration with SimTools software further enhances the experience, providing plenty of customisation options and updates to support the latest racing and flight simulators.
The G6 bundle is slated for an April 2025 release and will be priced at $519.99. The GM5 3DOF Motion System will release in March 2025 and cost $3,999.99
KitGuru says: The G6 bundle could be a good starting point for those looking to get into sim racing. For those who want to push their experience to the next level, something like the GM5 3DOF Motion System could be a game changer.
