Start your sim racing journey with the 12Nm La Prima Direct Drive Wheelbase. It delivers precise and responsive feedback, allowing you to instantly feel every part of your favorite race track.
Even though the La Prima Wheelbase is our smallest motor, it is by no means an entry-level wheelbase. True to the spirit of everything we do at Asetek SimSports, the wheelbase is built on a foundation of quality, durability, engineering excellence – and, most importantly, the same user experience as our other products.
The 12Nm La Prima Wheelbase features a high-end 22-bit encoder, slipring, and electronics providing an unrivaled driving experience, leaving cogging and lagging in ancient history. All vital parts are of course made of aluminum and steel.
Furthermore, the La Prima Direct Drive Wheelbase features a resolution of 0.000085 degrees, translating to approximately 4,000,000 steps in a single revolution of the wheel, providing you with all the signals you need to perform like a champion and trim those crucial milliseconds that make all the difference.

Direct Drive Wheelbases stand out as the top-tier solution for both professional drivers and sim racers based on a host of benefits that set them apart from the competition.
Firstly, they provide an unparalleled level of immersion. This is made possible by the ability to reproduce the actual force feedback experienced in real racing, thanks to the direct connection between the wheel and motor.
Another significant benefit is improved accuracy and precision. The direct connection ensures that these attributes seamlessly translate into greater control over the car. This allows you to execute more responsive movements and make faster adjustments on the track because of the empowered and delay-free connection between the components.
Moreover, direct drive wheelbases boast exceptional durability and longevity. The absence of belts or gears that wear out over time results in reduced maintenance requirements and an extended lifespan compared to other wheelbases available in the market.
One of the aspects that makes sim racing special is the option to customize your setup according to your specific needs.
The never-ending struggle for perfection is why we grind.
Different racers have different needs, which is why specific hardware solutions are necessary. What works effectively for someone else may not work for you.
Based on this, we believe combining hardware from different OEMs should be the standard in sim racing, and therefore, we give you the chance to select the hardware you prefer.
That is why we designed our Invicta Quick Release Adapter! In basic terms, the Invicta Quick Release Adapter makes it possible to mount any steering wheel with a standard hole pattern on your Asetek SimSports Wheelbase. Until now, this has not been possible.
But now it is thanks to our Invicta Quick Release Adapter Kit. We aspire to be a game-changer in sim racing by supporting our users in their mission for performance and the most authentic experience – and by introducing this product to the market, we believe we have taken a major step towards achieving this goal and towards bringing the sim racing industry into a new era.
We’ve also partnered with some of the best wheel manufacturers in sim racing. That means you will be able to buy one of their wheels with our quick release fitted right from their factory! This option allows you to have the smoothest and most flexible experience straight out of the box when switching between your favorite wheels – be they powered or non-powered wheels.
The Invicta Quick Release will be the same and have the same cool features whether you buy it as a separate item from our Asetek SimSports webshop, from a reseller, or if you buy it as an integrated part of one of our partners’ wheels.
All Asetek SimSports® wheelbases feature our own Quick Release System which is as easy to use as shifting gear – literally. To disconnect the wheel from the base, all you have to do is to press a paddle and the wheel will be in your hands. Needless to say – we are not relying on wireless signals, batteries that need to be charged, or cables that can break or fall off. Everything is included in our easy–to–use no–play Quick Release. Many sim racers have personal preferences for their steering wheel. So instead of locking you into a specific eco-system, we have teamed up with a number of leading wheel vendors that will offer native support for the Asetek SimSports® Direct Drive wheelbases, meaning you can rest assured that you will be buying into a flexible and ever-expanding ecosystem.3

Mounting options:
As all wheelbases are designed from the ground up, we have been able to develop an extremely compact and flexible form factor accommodating any rig and need. The wheelbase will serve as the central hub in your simulator, where you can connect your Asetek SimSports® pedals, wheels, and future peripherals with up to 5 USB-S ports in the rear.
In its simplest mounting form (default from factory), the bases come with T-nuts pre-installed in bottom grooves enabling the motor to slide back and forth in your rig without installing long and expensive steering wheel spacers that ultimately can compromise the life and reliability of your wheelbase.
For all wheelbases, we have developed mounting options for any rig, ranging from a table clamp solution, bottom mount, side mount, and all the way to our integrated front mounts.
