THE LA PRIMA WHEELBASE

 

 

 

 

 

 

asetek sim sports la prima wheel kit review 1t

The La Prima direct drive wheelbase arrived in a somewhat large box the front of which is taken by a large product picture, company logo the and the model name and max peak/holding.

 

 

Another product picture is placed at the rear right next to a few words about the wheelbase under a drawing, the RaceHub software under a screenshot and several arrows under which Sim Sports says you can upgrade the motor of the La Prima for a more powerful one.

 

 

Sim Sports has dressed the interior of the box with foam, so the bundle is very well packed.

 

 

Along with the La Prima wheelbase and its power adapter with its 3 tips (EU/UK/USA) inside the box you'll also find an on/off button, USB-C cable, paper with 2D barcode pointing to the user manual (online), paper informing the end user to download the RaceHub software, safety information paper and a product warranty paper.

 

 

The 8.5Kg heavy anodized extruded aluminum housing of the La Prima wheelbase measures 293mm in length, 133mm in width and 132mm in height.

 

 

At the front of the wheelbase, we find a glossy plastic plate with the model name on it.

 

 

Here you can see the quick release mechanism with the 6 contacts.

 

 

Both the company logo and name are placed at the rear and well, they do look nice.

 

 

At the rear we also find the power, on/off button and USB-C ports (the empty peripherals port is probably used with the Forte and Invicta models).

 

 

Just wanted to point out just how good the anodized extruded aluminum housing looks and feels.

 

 

Sim Sports has also placed stickers on both sides of the housing.

 

 

At the base of the La Prima we find four M6 threaded T-nuts which are movable along the length of the housing for optimal compatibility with cockpits.

 

 

The power on/off button is a nice touch although I would have liked it more if it was part of the wheelbase (sides/top, either would do).

 

 

Worth pointing out is that the La Prima wheelbase uses an 180W power supply unit whereas both the Forte and Invicta models use 400W ones.
