Strengths
- Contactless Hall-effect sensors on throttle and brake with 12-bit resolution
- Expandable to three pedals with the Clutch Kit or Load Cell Kit

Watch out for
- No USB connector: needs a Fanatec wheel base, or the separately sold ClubSport USB Adapter for standalone PC use
- Brake measures travel; a load cell brake needs the Load Cell Kit upgrade
