VPG Sim will also present a brand-new product at SimRacing Expo, with the firm set to unveil its Duo-Mode Paddles.

Launching on Friday, 17th October, the Duo-Mode Paddles will allow users to seamlessly turn their analogue paddles into functional buttons using VPG’s ‘Smart Duo-Mode’. This means the paddles automatically detect when the car has left the start line to then switch from clutch to button mode – no extra input is required.

With software developed in association with SimHub specialist Daniel Newman Racing, the Duo-Mode Paddles’ functionality can also be mixed and matched to suit driver preference, so customers can choose exactly how their analogue paddles will operate. 

Modes include:

• Left Button / Right Clutch

• Left Clutch / Right Button

• Both as Clutches (dual bite-point, adjustable)

• Both Smart DUO-MODE™ (clutches off the line → buttons mid-race)
