Wheelbase Torque Explained
Understand how torque influences force feedback strength, realism, and driving control in sim racing.
Impact of Torque on Driving Feel
High Torque
- Delivers strong, lifelike force feedback for immersive driving.
- Allows you to feel road texture, tire slip, and weight transfer.
- Enhances realism in high-speed or off-road scenarios.
Low Torque
- Produces lighter, less pronounced feedback forces.
- Makes it harder to detect subtle changes in traction and car behavior.
- Can make the wheel feel disconnected from the virtual car.
Balancing Torque and Control
While higher torque can improve realism, too much without proper control can cause fatigue or loss of precision. Smoothness, motor design, and software algorithms also play a critical role.
- High torque should be balanced with smooth, responsive force feedback.
- Wheels with lower torque may feel more controllable if they have superior motor design.
- The best driving experience combines sufficient torque, precision, and responsive feedback algorithms.
