@Jeff Mattel Working on putting an LCD screen in the 488 wheel :) Could be used as LMP or F1
Is this wheel no longer available?
@@DeathDream I went on there website and you can buy this wheel, but it doesn't seem to be the vantage replica just the bare wheel with a standard buttons
Always loved your reviews Since I found your channel. You really got me in to sim racing thanks and keep up the good videos
Charlie really must be a relaxed guy to have you unwrap and try his wheel before himself :-)
to bad you couldnt take it apart, which is usually the most interesting part for me. anyhow, great first impressions, as always *thumbs up*
The linkup with Charlie Eastwood here is really great. It’s another confirmation of the validity of sim racing as more than just “gaming”, allowing us mere mortals a glimpse at what it’s like to race. I know sim racing is not the same as the real thing ofc but if real drivers see the benefits of simulation then there’s got to be something to it. Fantastic video, Barry.
Wow you got to use it before him! Very kind chap.
Keep the reviews coming best review channel on UA-cam....
Wow nice wheel and a awesome review as always 🙌
Great video, Barry!
Still rocking the v3 pedals... makes me feel good about my purchase. I love them.
You did it again Barry
Zach does great work!!!
Barry got that convertible with the top down kind of hair.
Probably just got back from a Jimmy Buffett concert.
I love the diameter...looks like a comfortable size.
Barry is a Top Notch Reviewer and One Hell of a Driver
The tootsie pop is such an epic touch lol
I need to sell a kidney or something..that is a nice wheel..great review as always barry!
When are you gonna do the fanatec dd2 and dd1 review ? Would be great if you review the two units. I only trust your reviews
Yes. I just ordered a DD1 and I'm hoping for a review from a trusted name who has plenty of experience with direct drive wheels.
Great review as always BTW.
Not sure when I will be able to get one. I know they have sent some units out for review.
Been driving the DD2 since the 30th of April. It's absolutely incredible. Very comparable to a OSW. I won't be able to say it's better or worse until Fanatec releases thier software for it to truly tweak the wheel.
Nice
Wow. That's awesome that he sent you the wheel to check out for a bit. I'm just a bit into the video, but how did you guys start talking and get to this point?
I meet a lot of people via the contact email at my website.
I swear this wasn’t on his site a few weeks ago. Would’ve ordered it then!
Hey SIM Racing garage can you take a video of tour actual setup
Hey man , can u review a fanatec dd1 and compare other brands u used and make your top 5 ? Price/quality
Hello, I like your video very much. Could you please tell me what type of button is used in this GTE steering wheel?
hello friend what would you suggest t150 t300 or g29?, are there any new wheel coming out this year? those are pretty old
Is the tootsie pop an added charge?
Nice review, but it is the Aston Martin DBR9 GT1 in iRacing and not a Vantage GT1. The chassis is the much longer DB9/DBS chassis. :)
Yes, I mention that in the beginning of the driving segment.
What kind of cable is shown at 4:00 ? I try to find it but I can't....anyone can advice me?
I think PLA is actually the stiffest of the three materials you mentioned. ABS the least stiff.
I think he just meant strength not stiffness.
Yes.
Does anyone else notice a difference between Barry and the other “supposed” well known reviewers? I won’t mention names.
But I see his amount of subs and think is it because his videos are so long? If so, skip to the final thoughts. Is it because he is intelligent and gives an unbiased opinion on things he checks out? Is it because he is EXTREMELY detail oriented?
Now let’s compare some of the other unnamed reviewers. And this is where I have a hard time taking them seriously. They get a new product in and make a “click bait” video doing an unboxing of the product they got shipped for free so that they can be biased.
Like who the hell wants to watch someone unbox a product? If that excites someone then maybe they were the kid on Christmas who did not get many toys.
Or they will talk about a product they are using and say I bought this product and love it, best wheel ever, best pedals ever. And then the next video and each after they are back to there regular sim gear that they got for free.
Many of if not all the other guys try to be everyone’s friend and so they make 10 videos a week or more. All nonsense, it’s like it’s the “only” thing they have going, no other hobbies, family time, or life. And they are extremely biased and also do not have the knowledge to go into detail on things which is ok, just you can’t be taken seriously if your so biased by how everything you get is the best product ever.
So it brings me back to Barry’s channel. And I don’t know any of this first hand, it’s my opinion, but here is a guy who is not doing “Christmas” morning videos doing an unboxing for click bait. He takes things apart to explain things, but are you guys also aware that he does this so you can see if the wheel you paid $500-2,000 for was built with parts that equal what the wheel is worth plus labor? He has done some wheels and I won’t name one in particular that the parts inside and the wheel equaled about $100-150, TOTAL, and sold for much more!! Barry is not bashing companies, but instead letting us make our own opinions.
Also, has anyone wondered why he does not sell any wheels, shifters, pedals, etc... from his website? ( my opinion, so I am assuming) but it’s because once he starts doing that, you know he gets a percentage on the dollar of the product that sold thru his website. I am sure that would help him out as his time is valuable and I doubt he’s making much if anything doing videos, however, once you sell someone’s products, you are basically wanting to sell it to get a commission. So you are not being professional and instead your very biased!!
I for one think Barry is the best reviewer by leaps and bounds!! When I purchase ANYTHING, I don’t give a fk about the packaging, little kids make those videos as if you have enough subscribers, and videos, and watched videos, amongst other things you get a few pennies. I care about my hard earned money.
If it arrives damaged due to packaging, the company will fix it. So what does watching an unboxing video do for anyone? It’s like a woman taking off her clothes only she’s going to take off her hoody and underneath she has a t-shirt on. Ok guys, thanks for watching my BORING AF video to get me clicks... and also to only get 100-500 views. What’s that say? Well I have a lot of subscribers, I must have been interesting at one time, but now ppl are bored with my shitty videos.
I know it sounds like I am complaining and I am, and for those who say well don’t watch the boring videos, I don’t. My point is Barry has less subscribers then some of the reviewers that do videos galore, but get minimal views. He has less subscribers and had 10-50x more views then other reviewers.
I think we should take a stand and go thru our subscribers that we click and unsubscribe if we don’t go there anymore as why help them get even 1 penny in revenue or by allowing them to sell ad space by saying I have 20-30,40,50k subscribers, yet there video content is trash!!
Again, this is 100% my views and ONLY my views. Barry, thank you for being the “ONLY” professional reviewer of sim racing gear at this time that when it comes time to spend a dollar, there is no better place to be so I have piece of mind before buying, and knowing I am getting what I am thanks to your hard work, and your attention to detail explaining things to myself and others!!
And there could be a few typos, my phone is acting up. But it’s not a grammar class. Just showing my support for the Best Sim Racing reviewer by leaps and bounds!!
Hey Barry, Nice review. But @8:43...technically not correct, but minor. ; ) Also knobs are PLA eh.
One day we'll get you something to review, Hit me up and we could chat and figure out something.
PS little tip, PETG is actually not as rigid as PLA.
I meant to say PETG is stronger than PLA. You can email via the contact link on my website.
Im preety sure ur reviewing the first osw gen 2 wheel
When r u uploading it ?
Sorry to dissapoint. But I don't have an SC2 wheelbase. Or, a Fanatec DD wheelbase. Other reviewers have them though.
Great wheel and review, but you could improve on your lap time😋 Since the GT1-series is dead in iRacing as well, your lap gave me the opportunity to battle your time at least with the DBR9. Got a 6.25.437 (morning, 20° C, 40l fuel, one click less wing, tweaked diff-settings) and might be my favorite car in iRacing, but i treated it with a stick😉
Yes, one can always improve.
@@simracinggarage3026 I was lucky with lowering the diff-plates and deg to the minimum. I don't know much about iRacing-setups, but that cured the understeer:) I'm surprised how good the FFB is in this Aston compare to the other cars i bought. (Ferrari or Z4 GT3 feel crap in comparison).
But there is way too much grip with these tyres in iRacing and it's not good for mastering this track. You can take lines that would never work IRL or drive with nearly 130 km/h through the karussell, which should be more like 95 km/h. Raceroom, rF2 and even pCars 2 are much more accurate and similar in this regards.
How can you drive with that "in car" driving position? Probably have correct FOV but it looks like you sit on the backseat of that car. It looks like there are about two meters from your eyes to the line where the windshield base would be....that's nuts.
Greetings Barry. So about the mounting options, I notice that those holes on hub on the back of the wheel seems to match the QR of accuforce (B&G, same thing) perfectly. The only thing I am worrying about is the diameter. You mentioned the hub is 2-inches diameter but I wonder what is the exact size. May I ask you if it can be mounted directly to the accuforce QR, to the best of your knowledge? Thanks a lot. Also, if anyone reading this comment has already got his/her hands on the wheel, I would greatly appreciate it if you can tell me the answer.
The hub has a 70mm hole spacing. So you can attach any quick release that has this spacing. Most good QR's have this pattern
available. 2 inches in length not diameter. You can check with Turn Racing, but I'm sure they can get you the spacer you need.
@@simracinggarage3026 Thanks so much for the info Barry! I am sure that my QR is 70mm so that should work. Sorry for my ignorance, as I have only used few QRs in my life.
Most importantly, it comes with a lollipop.
Hey Barry. Is it Ascher racing magnetic paddles?
Precision Sim Worx Shifters
You're the American James May.
Store empty, why are these not for sale anymore?
Why is there a sucker in the box?
Hi Barry, will you be getting a Simcube2 to review?
Yes. Have a Pro going through the process now.
Sim Racing Garage Brilliant, I look forward to watching that :)
Is it possible to buy exactly the same ? Now?
What's the reasoning for the throttle stab on downshifts?
please answer this question
iirc the GT1 class required clutch and throttle blip on downshifts, or at least blip, and flat upshifts. Whether this was a stipulation of the regulations or a limitation of the technology at the time I don’t know.
@@virtualgridlock301 that makes sense. Appreciate that you took the time to answer. I guess I could have just jumped on iRacing and tested the AM Vantage also.
Was the diameter of the wheel mentioned?
Yes. 310mm
Barry, you should review the Augury F1s rim, no one cant make a more thorough review of it than you!

Coming soon.
