Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.
The Fanatec CSL Elite Pedals are an entry price-point pedal set from the high-end hardware producer. They come in both a two and three pedal sets, and the three pedal set includes a load cell pedal.
Construction and Feel
They are made from aluminum and feel both light and solid. The pedals feel relatively weak compared to other pedal springs, but still good enough that you can feel the range of motion under your feet.
Conclusion
These pedals have flaws. Most problematic for most is the fact that they so easily fell forward when pushing down on the pedals with any significant force. We really suggest going with either the Clubsport or another brand of load cell pedals. It’s also rather annoying that the two pedal set requires a USB adapter while the three pedal set does not.
