Asetek Racing has introduced the GT Nova steering wheel alongside the upcoming Initium DD10 direct drive wheelbase. The wheel features an integrated 1.3 inch OLED display for live telemetry alongside vertical thumb encoders for adjusting in game settings on the fly. The hardware costs $299 before taxes, with retail shipments planned for early next year.
Asetek designed the GT Nova wheel specifically for endurance and GT simulation racing. The layout focuses on driver comfort during extended driving sessions. A 1.3 inch white OLED panel running at 128x64 resolution displays live telemetry data and allows drivers to adjust hardware configurations directly from the rim. Vertical rotary thumb wheels sit on the outer edges to let users switch between multiple input profiles without pausing the simulation.
Asetek is also preparing the Initium DD10 direct drive wheelbase for release this month. This base generates 10 Nm of torque out of the box, with an upgrade path that boosts output to 14 Nm. It works natively with all Asetek steering wheels and connects to third party rims through a quick release adapter mechanism.
Pricing for the GT Nova wheel sits at $299 excluding tax in the United States and 299 euros in Europe including 19% value added tax. The Initium DD10 direct drive base retails for $499 before tax or 499 euros with tax included.
