EYE-EAR-HAND-FEET COORDINATION SKILLS TO ADVANCED LEVEL

Sim racing offers a wide range of details to the human sensors through different devices, and the better a driver knows how to utilize the better he usually succeeds. For example, the monitor shows the eyes the direction and speed, where from the driver has to be able to utilize steering wheel and pedals accordingly. In the same way, the headphones provide sound information about engine and tire grip, from which the need to change gears must be refined and the grip levels must be interpreted for correct use of the throttle, brake and steering wheel.

By adding a handbrake and gearstick to the driving peripheral selection, it increases the need for coordination on the body and challenges the driver to take the use of sensor data to the next level. With every gear change, the driver has to remove one hand from the steering wheel, and in an understeer situation, proper usage of the handbrake allows the driver to steer the car back onto the track, not to mention great drifts.

PLACE THE HANDBRAKE AND GEAR STICK WHERE YOU NEED THEM

There is a wide range of handbrakes and shifters on the market today, where functions and shapes varies greatly. This presents its own challenges for mounting solutions, as the most optimal position of the handbrake and shifter is usually always the same – as close as possible to the steering wheel to minimize hand movement required.

We tackled the challenge by utilizing slot adjustments in all components of the OP Shifter & Handbrake Mount, which allow you to place peripherals where you need them. Height, distance in length and width as well as angle adjustment gives you an advantage in the placement of the handbrake and shifter
