Cosworth has debuted the CCW Mk2 Pro Sim steering wheel at ADAC Sim Racing Expo in Dortmund, Germany. The new simulator has been designed and developed in partnership with SimRep Engineering.
The CCW Mk2 Pro Sim is a replica of Cosworth’s critically acclaimed FIA-certified carbon race steering wheel, the CCW Mk 2, used by teams in LMP2, IndyCar and Super Formula.
Cosworth says the CCW Mk2 Pro Sim represents the ultimate sim racing tech, giving drivers the perfect opportunity to hone their racing craft. It has been carefully designed to replicate the original carbon housing and intricate components that feature on the Cosworth original motorsport wheel, including precision-engineered rotary position switches, paddles, buttons and thumb wheels.
This approach 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 4.3in TFT LCD and next-generation simulator electronics, as well as a two-year electronics warranty package.
Cosworth’s acclaimed CCW Mk3 motorsport steering wheel is used widely across the LMDh hypercar grid. SimRep is a leading-edge Dutch sim hardware development company renowned for its expertise in sim racing electronics and software. Its 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.
Niels Boer, co-founder of SimRep Engineering, added, “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.”
