It’s no surprise that Moza Racing is present at Gamescom 2025 with new products for sim-racing enthusiasts, especially fans. Moza’s most recent exhibit was at Flight Sim Expo, where the manufacturer unveiled a whole range of aviation simulation peripherals. The new catalog is comprehensive, and aims to satisfy the realism needs of a broad spectrum of aircraft pilots.

Summer is the time of Gamescom in Cologne, when video game developers and publishers make announcements about their new releases. The sim-racing market is not left out, as Moza was present at the 2025 edition, which runs from August 20 to 24. For the Chinese brand, it’s the perfect time to announce new products, including 2 new Direct Drive bases, a steering wheel and partnerships with key names in motorsport.

Moza Racing announcements at Gamescom 2025

It has become customary for the manufacturer of sim-racing peripherals to announce new products during Gamescom. This year, we’re talking about 2 new Direct Drive bases designed to shake up the competition, especially at the very top end of the market, as well as a steering wheel developed in partnership with none other than Porsche.

The Moza R21 Ultra and R25 Ultra True Torque

Let’s start with the new DD bases announced by Moza. The R21 Ultra has the same power as the classic version, i.e. 21 nm of torque, but a new electric motor backed up by a 21-bit magnetic encoder providing 2 million points of resolution. That’s just enormous, especially as the new, latest-generation flat-wire motor promises to eliminate the effect of cogging, or jerking at the wheel, which should please virtual drivers.

As for the R25 Ultra True Torque , it’s brand-new, with an electric motor that delivers 25 nm of torque, putting it head and shoulders above Simucube and Asetek. True Torque technology measures torque in real time via a closed feedback loop, and can develop 10nm of torque per millisecond. However, we don’t know if the R21 Ultra will benefit from the same Ultra Torque technology.

Otherwise, the design of the peripherals is identical, with a CNC-machined aluminum casing. This lends rigidity to the package, as well as excellent heat dissipation. There’s also RGB on the base, which can be set via Moza’s software.

Let’s finish with the prices. The R21 Ultra is announced at €800, and the R25 Ultra at €1,000. That’s a very competitive price indeed, and should encourage other brands to reconsider their strategy, especially if these two Moza bases turn out to be high performers.

The Porsche Sim Racing Steering Wheel

Porsche is on the menu at Moza, with a collaboration to develop a wheel officially licensed from the 911 GT3 RS. The wheel’s structure is made of carbon fiber, with an entirely round shape like that found on Porsche 911s. Incidentally, it reminds me that only this brand offers round wheels on its flagship model.

The steering wheel is coupled to a hub that includes all the controls, of which there are 31 in all. That’s a lot of mapping to do via Moza Pit House to find the right configuration. Also, Moza has put 4 or 6 magnetic paddles on the back of the steering wheel, and these are made of forged carbon fiber.

The final element of this steering wheel is the display, which measures almost 3″ at the top of the faceplate. It’s color-coded and can also be configured, via Pit House, to display telemetry data.

Future Moza Racing partnerships and other announcements

It came as a great surprise to us when Moza announced new partnerships with Mercedes-AMG and MotoGP. For the brand with the star, it makes sense, as Moza develops and markets sim-racing peripherals, and AMG products would be well received by racers. However, MotoGP is a discipline in its own right, and has nothing to do with Moza’s chosen field. I look forward to hearing more about these new partnerships.

For the other announcements, we’re talking about 2 steering wheels: the Porsche Mission R (already announced) and the Lamborghini Revuelto, which we saw not so long ago.
