The Moza GS V2P is a 300mm GT racing wheel designed to deliver a premium sim racing experience. With forged carbon fibre construction, a plethora of controls including dual-clutch paddles, backlit buttons, rotary encoders, and analogue sticks, the GS V2P offers a wealth of features and customization options. This review delves into the performance, design, and functionalities of this high-quality sim racing wheel.
Having a good quality sim racing steering wheel like the Moza GS V2P can make all the difference when it comes to your digital racing experience. While other components are important, like aThere are many good sim racing wheels available today, but the GS V2P that comes from Moza is a 300mm GT racing wheel that looks like it has been picked right out of a Formula 1 car.
It comes with 5mm of forged carbon fibre with a seemingly high-quality feel. The GS V2P comes with a load of controls, including dual-clutch paddles, backlit buttons, rotary encoders, and even analogue sticks. It’s safe to say you won’t get bored of using all the different features, especially the RPM LED light which can be customised in a claimed 100 million different ways. The GS V2P wheel comes complete with Moza’s impressive quick release mechanism, so you can interchange it whenever your heart desires. If you’re interested in adding the Moza GS V2P wheel as part of your racing rim collection, or you’re considering the GS V2P as your first proper racing wheel, then read on. The diameter of the GS V2P is 300mm and it features a 5mm forged carbon faceplate along with a carbon fibre reinforced composite back plate. There’s more forged carbon fibre on the shifter paddles at 3mm thick, and perforated microfibre leather on the grips.. This establishes the GS V2P firmly as a mid-level sim wheel – a step up from the CS, ES, and RS steering wheels from Moza that are designed around touring/rally driving experiences. Higher-end offerings from Moza can be found in theThere’s plenty to shout about when it comes to the GS V2P wheel. While Moza hasn’t been in the sim racing industry for a relatively long time, it has managed to make huge strides when it comes to product offerings. The GS V2P wheel may seem like other wheels you can find on the market, but in reality, it offers a wide range of functions in a refined package. The GS V2P weighs around 3kg, which gives it a lovely solid feel, but don’t be fooled into thinking this is just a piece of heavy pig iron. In fact, it is made up of carbon fibre reinforced composite with forged carbon fibre plating and an aluminium quick-release system. Most of the weight is contained within the centre of the wheel which means the GS V2P wheel feels light to rotate when it is mounted on the wheelbase. The buttons and switches look great, and there’s plenty of them. Ten programmable backlit mechanical keys can be customised using the Moza Pit House software to show one of eight colours. In addition to this there are two thumb encoders and two joysticks all ergonomically within reach of the drivers thumbs for quick on-the-fly adjustments during the heat of the on-track battle. It’s hard to miss the five rotary encoders on the face plate which can also be used to make quick adjustments. While the Moza GS V2P wheel doesn’t come with a digital LED cockpit display, there’s plenty of lights to illuminate the wheel. When connecting the GS V2P you’ll immediately notice the ten backlit buttons, and when you go racing, you’ll see the ten RPM LED lights light up as you accelerate hard. Once again, the Moza Pit House software allows you to customise the colour and timing of the RPM lights so you can tailor the experience to your preference. Using the GS V2P is a nice experience once you get used to its size. At 300mm it is slightly larger than other wheels like theand noticeably larger than the Fanatec ClubSport. It rotates smoothly and provides great feedback when racing – I could certainly feel the back end of the car slip away at times which gave the opportunity to correct. The buttons are strong and firm to click, which further adds to the overall build quality of the wheel, but it also means that you shouldn’t press buttons by accident.Moza wheels are only compatible with Moza wheelbases, which is great if you’re looking to change between different Moza steering wheels, but what if you want to use a different wheel that isn’t part of the Moza ecosystem? You wouldn’t want to buy another wheelbase as they can cost more than a pretty penny. Thankfully Moza has a solution:allows you to attach almost any manufacturers wheel to your Moza R21, R16, R9 or R5 wheelbase. It’s a shame you have to purchase this separately, and it must be noted that only the steering function is supported through this adapter. The quick release function feels rather strong. This is reassuring when you’re racing, but sometimes requires some extra effort to remove the steering wheel from the wheelbase. Oh, and don’t forget to watch that you don’t trap your fingers in the mechanism which can be easily done. You don’t get a digital LED cockpit display like you would find in some other wheels like the. Its not a bad thing however; there’s plenty of buttons and switches on the face plate to play with, and since you’ll never have to take your eyes off the track you can focus on what really matters, like clipping the apex perfectly.At the back of the wheel there’s a pair of magnetic shifter paddles and a pair of clutch paddles which provide a loud ‘clunk’ noise every time you operate them – that’s great to begin with but after a while the sound may become too much for you. While I enjoy the feeling of operating the paddles, especially when using headphones, I don’t think they’ll impress other people nearby who may just find them annoying. Depending on the stage of your sim racing journey, the GS V2P might be a little overwhelming, and some of its features may not even be relevant. Including the shifter paddles, there’s 23 different buttons and switches, and despite those being customisable, you probably won’t need most of those most of the time. For those that are wanting to future-proof their sim racing set up the GS V2P might work, as you can start to use more features as your ability improves.The Moza GS V2P wheel offers a wealth of functions in a conveniently packaged design. Its great to hold and operate, and it can provide you with everything you need as you start to upgrade your sim racing experience. We particularly like the Moza ecosystem, which means you can use the GS V2P with any of the R-series wheelbases, and when you want to use another Moza wheel you can do so with ease. The Moza pit house software further adds to the experience allowing you to fine-tune your inputs and feedback so you can get the very best out of your hardware. The hardware itself is well-built with solid-feeling forged carbon fibre and comfortable perforated microfibre leather. The buttons and switches are strong, but the paddles make a loud noise that might not be to everyone’s taste. Ultimately, the Moza GS V2P is a great wheel for those that are starting to become a little more serious about sim racing, and its versatility means that you might still be using it even when you’re ready for the high-end wheels.The Cube Controls F-CORE is an entry-level sim racing wheel for those that might be interested in esports. It is mode from carbon fibre and aluminium and can be connected using USB or Bluetooth connection. Do be aware that this particular one comes with two paddles and no hub.The X-29 is made from aluminium with direct injection silicone handles, and like the GS V2P, it comes with a load of RGB LED buttons and some rotary encoders.

You can get the X-29 with two or four paddles in aluminium or carbon fibre.The McLaren Artura Pro sim racing wheel is created using the standards from an actual GT4 race car, with some components directly sourced from the McLaren Artura GT4. This is just one of four racing wheels that Ascher racing offers in the McLaren range, but despite it not being the, it still comes with customisable RGB buttons, thumb encoders, and two joysticks. You can connect the Artura Pro wheel using a USB or wireless connection.
