Asetek SimSports is now not an unknown - and even unimaginable - name within the sim racing community. Asetek is known for its high-quality sim racing equipment, developed with input from professional drivers, including F1 driver Kevin Magnussen. Whether you are a novice sim racer or an experienced driver aiming for maximum realism, Asetek offers an ecosystem that can grow with you.

Within this ecosystem are three product lines: La Prima, Forte and Invicta. Each series is designed for different experience levels and budgets, so you can choose a setup that perfectly suits your sim racing needs. In this article, I will take you through the different product lines and discuss the main products within these series - from wheelbases and steering wheels to pedals - and explain the differences.

The Asetek eco-system explained

The Asetek SimSports ecosystem is designed with the user in mind and offers a full range of products that complement each other to create the ultimate sim racing experience. Within the ecosystem, you will find the La Prima, Forte and Invicta series, each with unique features to suit different experience levels and budgets. This is similar to the CSL, ClubSport and Podium series at Fanatec.

The La Prima series is ideal for beginners, while Forte offers more advanced features for the dedicated hobbyist. Invicta targets pro-level racers looking for the highest level of realism and performance.

Every component within the Asetek ecosystem, from the high-performance wheelbases to the advanced steering wheels and pedals, is modular and customisable. This means you can personalise and optimise your setup as your skills and needs evolve. The Asetek ecosystem offers the flexibility and quality needed to excel and take your racing experience to the next level.

• La Prima - Affordable entry-level series with excellent performance.
• Forte - Advanced mid-range for serious sim racers.
