VNM Direct Drive Premier Wheelbase

The VNM Direct Drive Premier Wheelbase is a compact 13Nm direct drive base. It is for sim racers who want precise force feedback and dependable performance as their way into direct drive.

Why it matters

• Detailed, consistent force feedback gives you better control of the car.
• 13Nm of torque is plenty for engaging, realistic driving.
• A high-resolution encoder and low latency sharpen your inputs.
• Flexible mounting options fit many different rigs.
• It performs reliably across the popular sim racing titles.

Who it's for

The Premier is a first step into direct drive for intermediate and advanced drivers. It gives stronger, more accurate feedback than belt or gear driven wheels. It works well in a mid to high level rig built for competitive driving in iRacing, Assetto Corsa or rFactor 2.

How it works

Inside, a 5 pole pair motor works with a 23 bit encoder for smooth, finely detailed feedback. You can feel small changes in grip, road surface and weight transfer. Telemetry-based force feedback is supported in the major racing titles for more realism. The compact body is easy to place in different rig layouts, with front, side and bottom mounting. Included software handles setup and tuning, so you can quickly dial the force feedback in to your driving style. The Premier balances performance and accessibility for serious sim racers.

On track

Force feedback feels clean and controlled, so reading grip and reacting to the car comes easier. At 13Nm the base is strong enough for most racing without wearing you out, which helps in longer sessions. Curbs, bumps and tire slip are easy to feel, and that helps you stay consistent and confident. The small footprint keeps your rig tidy while still giving you the benefits of direct drive.
