Simagic GTS Alcantara Compatibility
The Simagic GTS Alcantara is built to work seamlessly with the Simagic Alpha, Alpha Mini, and Alpha U bases, using the Simagic QR50 quick release for fast and secure attachment. This proprietary connection method ensures a solid fit, providing a reliable and stable feel for each driving session. It is worth noting that this wheel is not compatible with other brands’ wheelbases, so it best suits racers who already use or are committed to the Simagic ecosystem.
The GTS Alcantara is designed exclusively for PC-based sim racing setups, supporting compatibility with major sim titles like Assetto Corsa, iRacing, and rFactor 2. Unfortunately, console compatibility is not available, so the GTS remains PC-only.
