In case you were not in Frankfurt today, or missed the SimRacing Expo live stream, here is a short recap of what Asetek Founder and CEO André Sloth Eriksen announced on the SimRacing Expo stage.

A season of launches

André opened with a look at what Asetek Racing has delivered this fall and what comes next:

Virtual Button Box, launched August 18: a free firmware update that turns the touchscreen on the Forte Formula Pro and Invicta steering wheels into a fully customizable button box, set up in RaceHub. Watch the introduction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN5BwSUDV8E

The big reveal: GT Nova

André then unveiled GT Nova, an all-new GT steering wheel launching in March 2027. GT anchors the wheel in endurance and GT racing, where precision, control and comfort over long sessions matter most. Nova, “new star”, marks a clear step forward in design, technology and perceived quality without leaving Asetek’s core DNA behind. GT Nova is not an incremental update but a modern interpretation of the GT concept at a very competitive price point: $299.99 excl. VAT and €299.99 incl. 19% VAT.

New features include:

RaceView OLED display: a 1.3″ white OLED screen (128×64 px) that shows live telemetry such as gear and speed, visualizes MultiLink settings and gives direct access to RaceHub Link.

MultiLink: a single rotary switch changes what the surrounding controls do. Set the red rotary to ABS, traction control, brake balance, differential or volume, and the blue encoder adjusts that setting. Two physical controls become 24 inputs.

RaceHub Link: for the first time, RaceHub lives directly on the steering wheel. Through the RaceView OLED display, sim racers can adjust wheelbase, pedal and steering wheel settings or switch presets on the fly, without leaving the game or opening RaceHub on Windows. RaceHub Link is exclusive to the Asetek Racing ecosystem and will also be released for the Forte Formula Pro and Invicta steering wheels.

Effective from the date of purchase. Existing warranty terms and conditions appl and underlines the brand’s commitment to quality.
