Simagic GTC-C Steering Wheel Alcantara Compatibility
The Simagic GTC-C Steering Wheel Alcantara is fully compatible with Simagic wheelbases, taking advantage of the Simagic Quick Release 50mm system for a secure, easy installation. Its design integrates with the Simagic ecosystem seamlessly, while the Alcantara grips provide a sturdy feel that holds up across varied racing styles. However, compatibility is limited to Simagic bases, which might mean this wheel is best suited for racers already invested in Simagic hardware.
This wheel connects easily to PC-based racing setups and is ideal for popular sim titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and rFactor 2. Console compatibility isn’t an option here, as the wheel isn’t designed to work with PlayStation or Xbox platforms, keeping it focused on delivering an enhanced experience exclusively for PC users in the sim racing community.
