MVH Pitwall Issue 06 brings together an upgradeable new direct-drive wheelbase, two events sim racers can enter, a major telemetry improvement for RENNSPORT and an important final-order notice for the RSR 4.0 CORE.
Asetek's DD10 makes the upgrade path the headline
The new DD10 delivers 10 Nm of direct-drive torque and can be upgraded to 14 Nm with a separate plug-in Boost Kit. Asetek has kept its zero-play quick release and USB passthrough, so its own wheels and third-party options can use the same base-side connection.
The compatibility detail matters: it works on PC now and is Xbox-ready only when paired with an Asetek Xbox-compatible steering wheel. Asetek also lists a 60-month warranty. That combination makes it a credible step up from gear- or belt-driven hardware without forcing a second base later.

Formula Ford Festival chaos, recreated at Brands Hatch
iRacing's FF1600 Festival mirrors the real event with two 10-lap heats, a Last Chance Qualifier and a 20-lap final on the Brands Hatch Indy layout. Dynamic weather is on, setups are open, and the grid can hold up to 56 drivers before splitting into heats.
You need a Formula Class D licence or Rookie 4.0 Safety Rating. If this article lands at 11:50 GMT, the broadcast split is live; remaining starts are 16:00 Saturday and 00:00 Sunday GMT. Registration opens 60 minutes before each slot.

RENNSPORT adds native SimHub—but wait for the hotfix
The paid Hypercar pack adds the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH, Lamborghini SC63, Toyota TR010 Hybrid and Genesis GMR-001, with a reworked class tyre model and balancing. Free changes raise Custom Contests to 24 drivers and 60 minutes across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, improve console wheel Quick Setup, and add official native SimHub telemetry on PC.
The caution: RENNSPORT says a client-side handshake fault can disconnect players or crash the game. A cross-platform hotfix requires testing and console certification; as of 29 October, the developer had not announced a deployment window.
Read the official patch notes and check the latest stability update before joining a long race.
Final RSR orders before Christmas
Demand for the RSR is high, and every wheel is hand-built to order in the UK with a current build time of two to three weeks. If you want an RSR before Christmas, please place your order during the first week of November.
After that first-week cutoff, we will stop taking new RSR orders until after the Christmas and New Year holiday. This is the final ordering window for an RSR this year.
