Full Review | Meca Cup 1 - 200kg Loadcell Racing Simulator Pedals.

Full track test of the Meca Cup1's. These pedals have been around a while and I heard many good things so today we bolt them to the rig and find out if they stack up to the hype? Also we compare the data to the VRS pedals to see where they land.

Today we are using the iRacing Platform at Autódromo José Carlos Pace (Interlagos) in the Porsche 911 Carrera Cup

Todays pedals were supplied by https://www.raceathome.co.uk/
Bob has kindly added a discount code so if you wish to buy these pedals type in - Smokin at the checkout and you will receive a 10% discount.

I do not receive any payment for this offer, nor have I been paid in anyway for this review. So my opinions are completely un-biased.
