Description
The Ascher Racing Dashboard offers a brilliant combination of sleek design and serious functionality. With either a 4-inch or 5-inch high-resolution screen, the dashboard provides bright, crisp displays that keep you in control, even through the most intense races. Built with CNC-machined anodized aluminum, it's tough but incredibly compact, at just 18mm thick. The real gem here is the SimHub integration, letting you fully customize everything from LED profiles to telemetry data, ensuring you have the right info at your fingertips when you need it most.
What sets the Ascher Racing Dashboard apart?
-
Individual LED Light Cavities The Ascher Racing Dashboard features a clever design with each LED sitting in its own drilling. This ensures that the colors don’t bleed into each other, offering clean, distinct signals. Many dashboards struggle with LED light coupling, but here you get sharp, individual light feedback for shift timings or flag signals. This gives a noticeably cleaner and more accurate view, especially in critical moments during a race.
-
SimHub Integration for Total Customization With official SimHub integration, the dashboard offers incredible flexibility in setup. Whether you want to follow community presets or design your own from scratch, you have all the options you could wish for. From telemetry values to custom LED colors, there’s nothing stopping you from configuring the display exactly how you want. This is especially handy for racers who prefer an optimized setup tailored to different tracks or racing styles.
-
Compact, Durable Design The Ascher Racing Dashboard keeps it simple, but don’t mistake simplicity for fragility. At just 18mm thick, its CNC-machined aluminum frame is incredibly compact while being robust enough for the demands of sim racing. Unlike dashboards made from cheaper materials, this one is built to last, even through long endurance sessions. It’s easy to mount without taking up valuable space, whether you choose the 4-inch or 5-inch version.
-
Clear Display with Glove-Friendly Touchscreen The dashboard doesn’t just give you information—it presents it beautifully. The high-resolution, 16-bit color display is bright at 350 lumens, making sure you can read data clearly, even in low-light environments. And if you need to switch between dash pages mid-race, no problem! The resistive touchscreen works perfectly with racing gloves, meaning you can keep control without having to stop and fiddle with your setup.

Ascher Racing Dashboard Compatibility
The Ascher Racing Dashboard has broad compatibility across popular sim racing hardware. It's officially supported on Simucube 1 and Simucube 2 wheelbases, as well as the Fanatec and VRS Direct Force Pro platforms. While it’s also compatible with Simagic and Asetek wheelbases, some older or niche setups, like OSW, may require additional adapters or configurations. It mounts easily using the included carbon brackets, making it a convenient upgrade for most direct-drive systems.
When it comes to gaming platforms, the Ascher Racing Dashboard is a great fit for PC-based racing sims. Integrated with SimHub, it works seamlessly with popular titles like iRacing and Assetto Corsa. However, console compatibility is limited, so if you’re on PlayStation or Xbox, this may not be the right choice. Keep that in mind when building out your rig!
