Steer-by-Wire Technology With Fanatec – Video

A new video shows Fanatec’s CSW hardware being used to steer an actual real-life race car.

Remember that when Fanatec first announced their BMW M3 GT2 steering wheel rim, they showed the rim to be working on an actual BMW race car thanks to the industry-standard quick change mechanism.

Now, PARAVAN have taken the idea of using Fanatec hardware to steer race cars even further, using the company’s hardware to show??their Space Drive steer-by-wire technology in action.

In the video below, you can see an actual real-life race car being driven by using a Fanatec CSW setup that is connected to PARAVAN’s steer-by-wire system. The flexibility of the system is demonstrated by making a quick change of the car’s driver side, something that would obviously be utterly impossible with a traditional steering setup.

More info on PARAVAN’s technology is available here, Fanatec’s hardware can be found on their website.
