Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the Ascher Racing McLaren Artura Ultimate?
It is a premium sim racing steering wheel built in official collaboration with McLaren Automotive. It is based on the real McLaren Artura GT4 motorsport steering wheel, uses identical components and the same 300mm diameter, and is sim-optimised with a 4-inch integrated dashboard, 21 RGB shift lights, 14 RGB push buttons, magnetic paddle shifters and a universal USB connection. Player1 Sim Gear is the authorised Australian dealer.
Is the Artura Ultimate compatible with my wheelbase?
Yes. It uses a universal USB connection, so it works with every major wheelbase: Simagic (Alpha, Alpha EVO, Alpha U), MOZA (R3 through R21), Simucube (SC2 Sport, Pro, Ultimate and SC3), Asetek (Invicta, La Prima), Fanatec (DD1, DD2, CSL DD, GT DD Pro), VRS Force Pro, and OSW or Leo Bodnar systems. You can also add a dedicated quick release at checkout.
What quick release options are available?
At checkout you can add a Simucube 2 QR, Simucube 3 Link QR with SC3 adapter, Asetek Invicta QR for Ascher Racing, Buchfink Q1R, MOZA QR, Simagic EVO QR or VRS QR. You can also select without a quick release and use the 6 x 70mm bolt pattern with your existing hub. Not sure which to choose? Call us on 0488 385 870 and we will confirm the right fit.
Does it work with Simagic?
Yes. The Artura Ultimate is USB and connects to any Simagic wheelbase, from Alpha Mini through Alpha U. We recommend adding the Simagic EVO QR at checkout for a tool-free quick release. Player1 Sim Gear is an authorised Simagic dealer, so we can help you spec a full Simagic setup.
Does it work with MOZA Racing?
Yes, any MOZA R-series wheelbase (R3, R5, R9, R12, R16, R21) over USB. Add the MOZA QR at checkout for a native quick release. We are an authorised MOZA dealer, so call us on 0488 385 870 for advice on pairing it with a specific base.
What is SimHub and do I need it for the dashboard and LEDs?
SimHub is free third-party software that drives the dashboard display and RGB lighting. Installing the Ascher Racing SimHub plugin is recommended, as it unlocks animated screens, telemetry-triggered lighting and full configuration of all 14 buttons, 21 shift LEDs and the 4-inch display. SimHub works with all major sim titles including iRacing, Assetto Corsa, ACC, rFactor 2, Le Mans Ultimate and F1 25.
Can I upgrade the paddle shifters and clutches later?
Yes. The Artura Ultimate is designed with an upgrade path built in. You can retrofit single paddle shifters and move from single to double clutch paddles without opening the whole wheel, thanks to the two-piece architecture. Contact us if you want to discuss the upgrade options before buying.
What does the 4-inch dashboard display?
It is a high-resolution colour display integrated into the wheel hub. Through SimHub it shows real-time race data including lap times, lap delta, fuel level, tyre temps, gear, speed and any custom data your sim exposes. Screens are fully customisable, and it sits in your natural peripheral vision so your eyes stay on track.
How do the RGB buttons work and can I customise the colours?
Each of the 14 push buttons is individually illuminated with up to 16 million colours. Colours are assigned through the Ascher Racing SimHub plugin and can be static, telemetry-driven (for example green for ABS available, red when it triggers), or animated. The buttons also have genuine tactile feedback, so they click.
What are the joysticks and encoders used for?
The two 7-way joysticks are multifunctional, commonly used for in-sim menus, function displays and brake balance, with a centre pressure point for an extra input. The two 12-position rotaries and four thumb encoders handle quick car adjustments such as brake bias, traction control and mapping. Modifier modes let you multiply the functions well beyond the physical inputs.
Is this an officially licensed McLaren product?
Yes. Ascher Racing built this wheel in official collaboration with McLaren Automotive. It is based on the real McLaren Artura GT4 racing wheel and uses identical components, the same ergonomics and the same 300mm diameter. It is not a replica, it is the official McLaren GT4 sim wheel.

The Artura Ultimate sits at the top of the sim wheel market and is intended for serious sim racers who want genuine motorsport hardware.

It is universal USB, carries the most integrated dashboard solution in its class with the 4-inch screen and 21 shift LEDs, and has genuine McLaren GT4 provenance. For a Simagic or MOZA owner who wants the pinnacle of sim wheel hardware, it is the strongest option available.
