Meet Sidret Amidzic

Sidret, a passionate sim racer from Austria races mainly Mclaren and Porsche cars in the GT3 and IMSA series. He sim races to switch off from work in the evening, and he enjoys seeing how he’s improving and how he gets faster. Simucube 2 Pro is his wheelbase of choice.

Before Simucube he had issues finding the correct settings, but since Simucube has profile sharing through its software, you’re able to find excellent profiles easily and tweak if necessary. This was a big factor for him to upgrade to Simucube.

Previous setup

Hardware

  • Belt-driven wheelbase & various direct drive wheelbases

Limitations

  • Difficulty finding the right settings

The challenge

“It was hard getting a balanced feel because the other brands did not provide the paddock”

Inconsistent lap times

Bas struggled with lap time consistency, often having 2–3 second gaps between his fastest and slowest laps in practice sessions.

Poor car control

Limited force feedback made it difficult to feel when the car was at its limit, leading to frequent spins and off-track excursions.

Difficulty getting a balanced feel

With his previous wheelbases, the overall general feeling was inconsistent and it was hard to find a feeling that felt immersive.

Upgrading to Simucube

I understood what everyone was talking about

After installing his Simucube 2 Pro, Sidret instantly knew what everyone was talking about. He kept seeing all the reviews and opinions of the community on Simucube’s wheelbase, and as soon as he started driving everything made sense.

Thanks to paddock he was finally able to find the right settings for him, and achieve the immersion and realism he was searching for.

He recommends that people should just “buy once and stay happy”, since it will most likely be the last wheelbase you need.
