Three days at SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, and ActivePedal Sport went from something you could read about to something you could feel and test.
SimRacing Expo was the world premiere of ActivePedal Sport, and people who came to the Simucube booth got to test it among the first.
Here's how it went.
The first press of ActivePedal Sport
Visitors could try ActivePedal Sport in three ways: on the two racing rigs, fitted with ActivePedal Sport and Co-Pedal; on the testing rig, with Sport, Pro, and Ultimate side by side; and on the display table, where they could feel it by hand and adjust the features in Simucube Tuner software.
In Simucube Tuner, visitors could change force, travel, and feel, then press again and feel the difference straight away.
What visitors said about ActivePedal Sport
"What surprised me was how similar it feels to ActivePedal Pro and Ultimate."
"If you're looking for a more accessible active pedal, I think this is the best option right now."
"For the price point it's a very nice product and feels very similar to the ActivePedal Ultimate, which is only a little bit more refined."
From the content creators
Several creators stopped by the booth and have already shared their first impressions.
"It's crazy how it gives the same effect as the Pro and Ultimate."

Hot Lap Challenge
The Hot Lap Challenge, with Tim Heinemann, ran all weekend on the booth, with a Simucube 3 Sport for the fastest lap and another raffled among all participants. We loved seeing how excited you all were about the challenge. It was a tough race.
- Fastest lap of the weekend: Niclas Laubisch, 1:54.193
- Raffle winner: Guillaume Robeyrenc
Congratulations to both, and thank you to everyone who took a lap. We have contacted the winners and they will receive their Simucube 3 Sport wheelbases soon.
Thank you, SimRacing Expo Frankfurt
