The most important thing is to prove the effectiveness of their wheels through such victories, while at the same time gaining the experience and know-how that can only be acquired through participation in car races. RAYS Engineering also has a few brands under its belt to cater to us automotive enthusiasts who want our cars to look better and extract every bit of performance by choosing performance wheels. The RCF method is designed to increase the strength of cast wheels by creating a tissue similar to what are referred to as fiber flow lines in the structure of cast wheels.
Compared to casting methods in which cooling is predominantly performed naturally by exposure to air, the TAF method accelerates the cooling speed using water lines built into the cast.

Force feedback is still one of the main things that truly augments and completes a driving experience with a wheel, which is why we won't look at a setup without it.
The noticeable cutbacks do appear on both the wheel and the pedals; however: the steering wheel doesn't have the deluxe feel of the higher-end units, and the pedals are a bit plasticky, offer little resistance, and are void of a clutch pedal. Something to bear in mind if you ever fancy upgrading at a later date. There are a few different types of force feedback commonly found in racing wheels: gear-driven, belt-driven, and direct drive.
By far the most accurate and powerful is direct drive, but these also come with a high associated cost. Direct drive is the best for because it's relatively simple. Every force feedback racing wheel uses a motor to generate resistance and feedback through the wheel, and in a direct drive system the wheel is directly mounted to this motor for maximum response. Don't rule out gear-driven or belt-driven designs, though. Belt-driven is an exceptional force feedback system that uses a belt to connect the motor to the wheel.
That setup offers excellent response with little compromise. Gear-driven systems are the most popular for cheaper racing wheels, and there's a lot of variance in how these can perform depending on their design. A wheel such as the Logitech G uses a dual-motor gear-driven system, and we've found that to be really impressive and quite powerful under hand.
That said, some less well designed gear-driven PC steering wheels may leave you wanting more power and response from your drive.
If you really want to go all out with your sim racing setup, a simple wheel might not suffice. That's when you'll want to look to more discrete parts and building up a sim racing rig in your own style and to your preference. For that, you'll want to start with the base.
This is essentially an axis that translates your movements on the wheel into a digital signal for your game, all the while being the driving factor of the feedback you'll feel from the game. It's important to make the right choice for your base, and that means deciding between a direct drive or belt-driven design. You'll rarely find support for both consoles in one, but almost always PC either way.
Then you'll need a steering wheel to mount onto your base, usually through some sort of wheel to base hub or adapter. This can be a more bespoke wheel for a specific motorsport, such as F1, or something more general for GT racing or a bit of everything.
You may need to look for separate button and shifter add-ons alongside your wheel or they may be included in one package. Moving on to the pedals and we generally recommend picking up a set with accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals all-in-one.
You might not be much of a manual driver now, or even need the clutch at your feet for an F1 setup, but it's useful to have for the full range of racing games. We've even set the clutch pedal to apply the handbrake in lieu of a formal handbrake accessory.
You will also want to consider how you mount this sim racing setup to your desk or sim racing frame if you're really serious. Most of the time that's a fairly easy process of simply buying the clamp that goes with your base from the same manufacturer, but perhaps you'll want to consider a more exciting setup before hitting the checkout.
