Turtle Beach may be one of the world leaders in gaming headsets, but they also have their fingers in other accessory pies. Today they stick it into race mode, nail the throttle and announce the new Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race for Xbox and PC.
A new race wheel set up for Xbox
Much like Turtle Beach’s VelocityOne Flight systems, the VelocityOne Race is the racing wheel and pedal set you will probably want in your life.
This groundbreaking universal wheel & pedal system is engineered to take the pole position and checkered flag as it resets the bar in racing simulation performance. Does it have enough to go up against Thrustmaster and their brilliant T248 wheel and TH8S Shifter combination? We will see.
“Our VelocityOne gaming simulation products have already dominated the flight sim accessory market, and we’re excited to expand Turtle Beach’s catalog further by bringing this same level of ultra-realism and premium simulation performance to the world of racing,” said Cris Keirn, Interim CEO and SVP of Global Sales, Turtle Beach Corporation.
Available from Feb!
Available from February 26th 2024 and compatible with Xbox and PC, the Velocity One Race will set you back a cool £629.99.
Lots of money, yes? Well, we think it becomes a bit more reasonable once you take into account exactly what is in place and on offer.
Racing sim fans who want to go fast will get to experience high-fidelity direct-drive force feedback through VelocityOne Race’s custom K: Drive™ motor. It is this which delivers ultra-realistic, powerful response while maintaining smooth steering and detailed reactions to in-race events.
Away from that and at the feet of the racer is VelocityOne Race’s aluminum pedals and Dynamic Brake Tek™ load-cell brakes simulate true-to-life braking performance. Drivers will also be able to monitor real-time race telemetry data in supported racing games, as well as customize controls using the integrated Race Management Display™.
Tons of customisation
Further, VelocityOne Race’s Tuner companion app and remappable buttons offer even more customization. A hand-stitched leather wheel provides enhanced realism and improved grip while banging through gears using Mag-Shift™ paddle shifters that deliver fast, reliable, and consistent shifts.
Plus, two additional analog paddles with magnetic Hall Effect sensors provide precise clutch and handbrake control.
Sound good? Look good? Grab for your wallet and you can get pre-ordering the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Race today. It’ll then be yours come February 26th 2024.
