Want to experience realistic sim drifting and feel like a professional? In this blog, <\/span>Mika Keski-Korpi<\/span><\/b>, drifting driver from Finland, shares his personal ActivePedal profile for Simucube\u2014designed to mimic the pedal feel of his real BMW M2 drift car.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Watch the full video<\/span><\/b> of Mika adjusting the ActivePedal profiles on <\/span>Simucube Youtube channel.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mika Keski-Korpi is a member of a professional drifting team based in Ylivieska, Finland, and he has been competing in Drift Masters. He has created custom pedal profiles using <\/span>Simucube Tuner software <\/span><\/b>for the brake, throttle, and clutch, matching the exact feel of his BMW M2 race car.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mika uses sim racing as a tool for his real-life driving skills and that\u2019s why he has wanted to make the simulator feel the same as his real car.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Keski-Korpi uses the S-curve model to give fine control while chasing close in drift races.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mika wanted to get the feeling like in his BMW M2 race car with first getting the feeling of a stiff clutch pedal and then feeling the pedal losing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mika does not use clutch damping, as his real car clutch is very responsive. However, he suggests that damping might help simulate friction under aggressive pedal use.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mika created the throttle pedal profile to mimic the electronic throttle of the BMW M2 car. He feels that this was an easy task to do in Tuner software.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Simucube ActivePedal Ultimate was launched in 2022, being the first active sim racing pedal on the market. In 2024, we launched a streamlined edition of the ultimate pedal, called Simucube ActivePedal Pro.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Simucube ActivePedals don\u2019t have any passive elements, since they work with servo motor. These pedals offer unlimited adjustability and repeatability, boosting up your sim racing experience with effects like ABS, traction control, RPM, G-force, and more.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Learn more about Simucube ActivePedal<\/span><\/a>\u202fand see the difference in your braking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n See<\/span><\/b> Mika\u2019s drifting pedal profile in Simucube Tuner.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Watch <\/span><\/b>the<\/span> behind-the-scenes video from him making the pedal profiles on <\/span>Simucube Youtube channel.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Share<\/span><\/b> your thoughts in our <\/span>Discord channel<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhy Mika trusts Simucube ActivePedals in drift training?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
