Why the Moza VGS wheel is a shift in excellence and the best prices for it

Even though I'm a happy owner of Moza's GS V2P, the extra features of the Vision GS handlebar blew me away. Space age enough to look like it belongs in some kind of anti-gravity hover racer, the VGS, as it's known to its friends, represents a new technical pinnacle within Moza's family of interchangeable wheels.Moza CRP pedals0Let's start with the positives, because they are certainly in the majority with this premium peripheral. I understand that the VGS has a little more space and weight than my 'old' GS V2P - we are wider from 300mm to 310mm and a kilogram heavier for a total of 4. As you veterans probably already know, larger wheel diameters are selling the experience is always a little better, although this does put a slight strain on the strength of the force feedback. Not a big problem with the R12 I use as it arguably has too much Nms of power to begin with.Moza VGSThe biggest and most obvious addition, however, is that handsome new face. With a 60Hz refresh rate and responsive touch, this fully customizable 7.1cm screen is as beautiful to look at in real life as it is useful to have. Better yet, it's packed with built-in presets, so you can more or less load Moza's Pit House software, skip the tinkering, and start reaping the benefits of your favorite sim right away. What those benefits are depends on you, your imagination and your needs. With North, South, East and West movements of your finger you can switch to any information you want. Gears, revs, position on a track map, tire telemetry, split times lists, or just a big analogue speedometer that's probably anachronistic to your favorite F1 car: the possibilities are endless to upload/download.This fully customizable 7.1cm screen is as beautiful to look at as it is useful to have.The only limitation here is the need to play a sim that shares/plays nice with its telemetry. There's a stupid, comprehensive list here of which games do that and to what extent. Personally, I had great compatibility with iRacing and my custom copy of Assetto Corsa Competizione. So maybe start there and wait for the support to grow outward from there with Moza's (fairly frequent) updates. The Digital Dash's wow factor doesn't quite stop there either. Moza has also implemented a gyroscope feature that ensures your information stays right side up and readable, even when you're dispensing dough by hand. Unfortunately, there's a bit of a lag here – a kind of compass-like shaking that's slightly imperfect, but not hugely detrimental to Moza's goal of keeping you informed.The many faces of the VGSBut hey, if that's somehow not your preferred way of getting your information, you can always look at your RPMs the old fashioned way. The VGS includes a top-mounted 10-pip indicator that can also be adjusted to your chromatic preferences with a range of 16.7 million colors. Alternatively, you can configure them to display racing flags. Super handy stuff. As far as quality goes, this sticks with Moza's usual ways of looking and feeling exactly what you paid for. We're talking an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy backbone, complemented by a composite carbon fiber faceplate and high-quality handles covered in hand-stitched faux leather. I can confirm after many an endurance race: the VGS is durable, comfortable and has no flex problems at the wheelbase connection point. I'm also concerned about the inputs, especially the extra and easily accessible buttons on the back that you can set to almost anything (I went for KERS and DRS). Accessing it with the middle finger feels natural and effective, but your thumbs will still be kept busy with a 72-input smorgasbord, including a 7-way funky switch, a universal joystick, 3 rotary encoders, 2 thumb encoders and short-travel -/illuminated buttons. I couldn't find a bad egg among any of them in terms of placement or responsiveness. Ultimately, I think Moza has once again proven to be a pretty innovative and release-happy competitor. The VGS is well built, packed with tactile inputs, highly customizable and performs brilliantly. Added bonus: the Digital Dash and visual aesthetic – clearly inspired by the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo – make it a truly striking piece of hardware, even by non-racing standards. And when it comes to your true car enthusiasts, well, their eyes will be greener than an Aston Martin.Back to top Adam Mathew is our Aussie deals manager and has Five Star Games to thank for a VGS test unit.
