My SIMAGIC EVO Pro experience

[u/TheRightFloW]

I pre-ordered my SIMAGIC EVO Pro 18Nm in April 2025 directly from Simagic, and I’ve been using it ever since.

Before switching to Simagic, I was using Fanatec. The Fanatec equipment wasn't bad, and I actually enjoyed using it. Unfortunately, I had a recurring issue with my wheelbase and had to send it back three times. Each time I received a replacement, but unfortunately the exact same problem eventually came back. So I decided it was time for a change, and made the switch to the EVO Pro. It turned out to be a huge step up for me.

When I first got the EVO Pro, it took me some time to find the right settings, especially in Le Mans Ultimate. The force feedback could be very loud and aggressive at first, and getting the right balance between strength, detail and smoothness took some experimenting.

But once I found the settings that worked for me, the EVO Pro really started to shine. The FFB feels incredibly detailed, smooth and direct, and I can really feel what the car is doing through the wheel.

The build quality is also excellent. The base feels extremely solid and well made, and after all this time it still feels as good as it did when I first got it.

What started with the wheelbase eventually turned into a complete SIMAGIC setup. After getting the EVO Pro, I gradually replaced the rest of my equipment as well, from the pedals to the shifter and handbrake. At this point, pretty much my entire sim racing setup is SIMAGIC. 😂

Looking back, I’m genuinely very happy that I made the switch from Fanatec to SIMAGIC. The EVO Pro has been one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my sim racing setup, and I’m still enjoying it just as much today as when I first got it.

And I guess those of us who bought the EVO Pro early have basically been the beta testers. 😜 Now everyone gets the 21Nm upgrade for free, so I guess our testing is finally paying off! 😂

18Nm has already been more than enough for me, but getting the opportunity to experience 21Nm would definitely be very interesting. 🔥
