Sim Racing Expo 2018: Day 1 in Review

Priceless^

Is anyone else surprised by the slowing pace of hardware development? For a while there new products seemed to be coming out fast and furious. I mean we are now going to see the Podium series that was announced at last year's Sim Expo ship this December, but other than that it has seemed relatively quiet. The small Mige's have been trickling out, but I would have expected TM or Logi to have something to take advantage of the expo and maybe one of the larger rig manufacturers. Could be it's just that ISRTV is not putting on 1-2 gear reviews a week anymore, but still I would have expected more from the SIM EXPO in terms of new hardware.....

Logitech last product is the g29 which is basically a g27 with brake pedal mod...I won’t hope too much simracing hardware from them...

Is it just me or was this SimExpo really lackluster? Other than the rF2 announcements, there was really nothing new... I was especially disappointed with Reiza (them saying "we're alive! and we can't tell you anything yet" don't really count as news to me).

Here all the video's so far: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=simracing+expo&sp=EgQIAxAB
As you can see nobody cares about rF2
Nice new steering wheels from Fanatec btw.

Errr… well.... errrrr…..

Yes I admit it, poor internet connection plus Bitburger and jovial conversation did result in something of a lack of laptop usage...

Fear not, I'm prepping a summary article atm
