I Tested Simucube’s £2,899 “Ultimate” Wheel Base

Today I’m testing the new Simucube 3 Ultimate, Simucube’s top-of-the-range direct drive wheel base aimed at sim racers who want the absolute best of the best. This is a paid promotion with Simucube, but as always, my opinions are my own. The Ultimate sits above the Simucube 3 Pro with more torque, a new motor design, and the promise of maximum response and fidelity - but at £2,899, it also costs significantly more than the already high-end Pro. So the question is simple: does the Simucube 3 Ultimate actually feel better on track, or is this one only for the tiny percentage of sim racers who want the ultimate setup regardless of cost? In this video I’ll go through the key details, mount it to my rig, test it on track, and give my honest thoughts on who this wheel base is really for.
