Trak Racer has announced its intention to enter the sim racing wheel and pedal market in 2027, with a Fanatec-based entry-level bundle.

While it is not named or priced yet, expect 3Nm of force from a direct drive wheel base, a round wheel and a simple non-load-cell two-pedal set.

The Australian brand was recently purchased by Corsair, the same American tech company that purchased Fanatec in 2024.

In recent years, it has developed its own range of sim racing electronics, including wheel bases. These were predominantly in the upper echelons of the market, with one claiming to output 30Nm of torque, although they seemingly never went beyond the prototype stage.

With Corsair owning both Trak Racer and Fanatec, it was assumed the former would focus on cockpits and seats, with the latter on wheels, pedals and electronic accessories.

Corsair CEO Thi La has explained that Trak Racer would operate as a Fanatec ‘sub-brand’:

“We folded sim racing into one entity, if you want to call it that way, and the Trak Racer products will fold underneath the Fanatec brand umbrella.”

The early version of this new sim racing set was on the Trak Racer booth at the SimRacing Expo Frankfurt. The prototype has a visible Fanatec logo, seemingly covered by black tape.

It was confirmed to Traxion that it uses the Fanatec quick release system, opening it up to its wheel ecosystem.
