Andre's attitude is a major benefit in Asetek's hand of cards - there is no figurehead like this for many other brands and sometimes you start to like a brand because of the leadership. Without Andre taking an active role, I think Asetek would sell a lot less just due to price point and styling compared to the others. Hopefully he keeps standing out front-and-center

Love this guys energy, no BS. He just answers the question. Brilliant interview.

[vegaadrian]

Asetek coming to console for $600 is a win 🏆. I want to get out of the fanatec system and now I have a good option.

[gammah]

Asetek coming to consoles is a good move considering the major players like Fanatec, Logitech & Thrustmaster are there!

[mirtanas]

Best CEO in simracing! Great interview

[hdhfdhddhdk]

I cannot lie, this CEO is gangster. Standing on his business, all facts, no fluff, all conviction.

[sanjitpatel]

I have been following Asetek for a good while now. As a console player this is amazing news and can't wait to see more details.

[projectkurvz]

I like that Asetek have a plain and stick with it, no fast buck products or gimmicks, I really like that, and when I need to replace my Fanatec DD2 (5 years old) I will look closely at Asetek,

I am really happy with my Asetek gear. The led light functions in the software are great. Really helps with yellow flags, green flags, etc.

[zacjones]

As an early adopter of their wheels and wheelbase I can simply say nothing but good about them. I plan on waiting for the Invicta abs pedal, shifter and handbrake. Once all are out I will be switching from VNM, even though I machined custom aluminum mounts for the simagic pedal haptics, simply due to the software/interface and firmware ease. The quality, passion and real care of their products that they show sold me.

[aswang]

From the customer service and quality alone, I'm likely a customer for life. Hopefully they will continue this mentality. That said. The benefit of an active pedal is that you can simiulate multiple different pedal types and change it on the fly. Not just for ABS. That said, I'm good with just adding the ABS pump. Excited for that to come out.

[raytherrien]

There it is, THAT MUST BE THE NEW INVICTA WHEEL SITTING THERE ON THAT TABLE ALL BLURRED OUT. Cant wait to see it, hope its not to expensive though...

[buddy]

I have an Asetek Invicta wheel and love it. Excited to see a new formula wheel!

[technogov]

I'm chomping at the bit to see that Invicta wheel!

[cateranytink]

Was thinking about getting the simagic alpha but I might go with these

[Gdad-]

great vid guys and informative interview. Thanks Toms 👍

[mike_gt]

I will say it again, Asetek needs to create and adv the two stage system of Invicta. People really don't know!!

[alkallata]

A QR on their website it costs 162 € I think that price should be reviewed because of the prices of QR people buy other brands

[Baltuc_Racing]

Great video :)

Big thanks from The Land of Asetek :)
