SIMAGIC GT Neo Steering Wheel User Manual

USER MANUAL

GT Neo Steering Wheel

Coming from modest backgrounds, but infected by the need for speed.
Although we had some talent in real life racing, the lack of funds to fuel that passion was not enough to satisfy our addiction in comparison to real life motorsports and is still beyond the reach of many. However, we are determined to find ways to improve our skills and make practice effective and affordable.
It started with us asking ourselves, “How do we find ways to satisfy this goal in the most immersive ways?”
In 2018, fueled by this passion and armed with advanced degrees in engineering and control systems, SIMAGIC was born.
We went about developing the kind of wheelbase we wanted and needed. It had to be direct drive for unmatched realism, yet affordable. The goal was to make it easy to use and built with high quality components to last; using real carbon fiber and metal where possible, with high quality components and zero compromises. After all, we were in Shenzhen, the Silicon Valley of the East, factory to the world, the talent and resources were all here.
One thing remains unchanged, we started with motorsports as a passion and we will continue to drive this point in every product we develop and every innovation we come up with. Everything we do is benchmarked and tested by real drivers who believe in the art of sim as a tool for real life driving. We will continue to commit ourselves to being the choice of real drivers and those who strive to be one. This will always be the one thing that sets us apart from everyone else. The game just got seriously fun, so
KEEP-RACING!
