Ascher McLaren Artura Ultimate Max Verstappen’s Sim Racing Choice!
Max Verstappen’s commitment to sim racing is evident in his choice of equipment, opting for the Ascher McLaren Artura Ultimate wheel.
For the reigning Formula One champion, virtual racing is far more than just a game.
“I love my sim racing,” Max says. “Some people think it’s just a game, but it’s not.” His passion for racing transcends real-world circuits and into the virtual realm, where he competes with the same determination.
Ascher McLaren Artura Ultimate – Ergonomics First: Designed for Champions
One of the key reasons Verstappen opts for the Ascher McLaren Artura Ultimate wheel is its exceptional ergonomics. Every aspect of the wheel is meticulously designed to ensure drivers can access all controls without moving their thumbs. The rear features two paddle shifters with a main and a secondary shifter, reflecting over a decade of ergonomic development.
The double shifter setup allows flexibility. Verstappen often uses it to glance left or right on a single monitor, checking for competitors before braking. Others may use it for DRS, push-to-pass, or gear shifts. The wheel’s software enables full customisation, letting users remap buttons for ultimate convenience.
Ascher Racing Laser-Engraved Excellence
Unlike many sim wheels that rely on stickers for button labels, the Artura Ultimate boasts laser-engraved button caps. This innovation ensures consistent light distribution with just one LED per cap, preserving energy and preventing USB overload. For wireless users, this is particularly beneficial.
Customisation doesn’t end there. Renvale offers personalised engraving options, in collaboration with Ascher Racing. Whether it’s your name, logo, or any design, you can make your wheel your own. Additionally, customers can choose from various colours for the encoder knobs, joystick knobs, and rotary dials.
The Max Verstappen Mentality
When it comes to performance, Max Verstappen accepts nothing less than perfection. He’s used the Artura Ultimate not only for practice but also for endurance races like the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Sim racers can relate to the necessity for reliability, and Ascher Racing delivers precision-engineered components designed to withstand the demands of intense competition.
Ultimate Unmatched Customisation
The Artura Ultimate is not just about looks. With a sleek, modern design, it offers a built-in screen that many drivers appreciate for quick tactical data. Others may prefer an external dashboard for a clearer view. For the ultimate experience, some racers use both, dividing key information between the wheel and an external display.
The customisation continues with the option to change button caps and personalised engraving for a truly bespoke feel. This level of detail ensures that every driver’s rig feels like a unique extension of themselves.
Experience the McLaren Artura Ultimate
Max Verstappen’s choice is clear: the Ascher McLaren Artura Ultimate. Whether aiming to compete at the highest level of sim racing or wanting the best possible experience, this wheel brings precision, customisation, and championship-level performance to your setup.
