Driving style

Like the CDP version, it targets serious PC racers in iRacing, ACC, Le Mans Ultimate and rFactor 2 who want strong, detailed 20 Nm force feedback for GT and endurance wheels. Choose it if your wheels use Conspit's CDR quick release.

Best for PC rig owners standardizing on CDR; less suited for console players or desk setups.
