Cosworth has launched the all-new CCW Mk2 Pro Sim steering wheel, designed and developed in partnership with SimRep Engineering. The CCW Mk2 Pro Sim is a replica of Cosworth’s FIA-certified carbon race steering wheel, the CCW Mk 2, which is used by teams in LMP2, IndyCar and Super Formula.
The CCW Mk2 Pro Sim is intended to represent the ultimate sim racing tech, and has been carefully crafted to encompass the original carbon housing design and intricate components that feature on the Cosworth CCW Mk2 motorsport wheel, including precision-engineered rotary position switches, paddles, buttons and thumb wheels. This approach to aesthetic excellence ensures sim racers can seamlessly replicate the setup drivers would use in real-world race cars, delivering the ultimate real-world-to-sim racing experience.
The CCW Mk2 Pro sim wheel also features a high-tech 4.3-inch TFT LCD display and next-generation simulator electronics, as well as a two-year electronics warranty package.
SimRep, a Dutch sim hardware development company renowned for its expertise in developing high quality sim racing electronics and software, partnered with Cosworth in the design and development of the CCW Mk2 Pro Sim steering wheel. The company’s advanced SimHub electronics and software suite is integral to the new product.
Stef Balkowiec, Managing Director of Cosworth Electronics, said: “We’re very excited to launch the CCW Mk2 Pro Sim steering wheel with SimRep, who we’ve been working with very closely to bring this next-generation product to market.
“We make some of the world’s best FIA-certified motorsport steering wheels and to bring our know-how, expertise and tech into the sim racing world makes absolute sense. To use a state-of-the-art real-world racing steering wheel on a simulator is simply the ultimate solution for an uncompromised high-quality sim racing experience whether you’re an avid sim racer or a racing driver using it as an off-track training aid.
“Cosworth is committed to strengthening its position with more motorsport-to-sim racing products planned to launch in the future.”
Niels Boer, co-founder of SimRep Engineering, added: “Our partnership with Cosworth goes beyond the standard licensing agreements typically seen in the sim industry. Together with Cosworth’s engineers and designers, we have developed a world-leading sim racing product, carefully utilizing original CAD models. By combining Cosworth’s extensive motorsport expertise with our specialized knowledge of simulator electronics, we aim to bridge the gap between real-world racing and sim racing.”
