BENITO GONZALES • SPORT & OPEN WHEEL CARS
“I could feel every bit of grip”
“It’s the closest I’ve come to simulating the feel of an actual race car, my consistency was so much better.”
BENITO GONZALES • 10+ YEARS SIM RACING
Meet Benito Gonzales
Benito, racing out of Lynnwood, WA is a die hard sim racer with over 10 years of experience. He loves racing older cars due to how raw they feel. “No electronic aids, just you and the car” he says.
He’s the kind of guy that just wants the best. It wasn’t that he was unhappy with his previous setup, but he just wanted better tech. That’s when he upgraded to Simucube.
It took around 5-10 minutes of tinkering around to find the right setup, but then he immediately felt the leap in performance compared to his old setup.
Previous setup
Hardware
- 9nm direct drive wheelbase
Limitations
- Wanted the best technology
- Wanted more realistic feedback
The challenge
“It felt non-realistic and I couldn’t consistently hit braking points”
Wanted best technology
His old setup was doing the job, but he simply wanted the best there is with the best technology. That’s when he joined Simucube.
Lack of realism
After 5-10 minutes he could already feel the jump in realism and performance once he installed his Simucube 2 Pro wheelbase
UPGRADING TO SIMUCUBE
I wanted the best
“I was told they’re one of the best in the sim racing world, and I wanted the best”
Quite straightforward coming from Benito.
Sim racing is Benito’s main hobby, and after being 10+ years in the game, he wanted the best there is. That’s when he made the move and decided to join Simucube purchasing a Simucube 2 Pro and Tahko GT-21
