5 Brands You Might Not Realize Are Owned By Corsair We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Anyone who has built a custom desktop PC in recent years definitely knows Corsair's iconic ship sails logo. For years, Corsair built its empire on the unsexy, high-stakes components that keep gaming rigs humming, like RAM sticks and power supplies designed to survive marathon gaming sessions. Heck, Corsair might've even built the world's most insane standing desk. If you've ever assembled a battlestation in the past couple of decades, you've likely seen some of the brand's fantastic components at stores like Micro Center and Best Buy. Fast forward to today, and the gaming landscape looks radically different. Players are no longer satisfied with just having a fast graphics card. New setups demand studio-grade streaming gear, competitive gamepads with rear paddles, ultra-custom mechanical keyboards, and immersive racing cockpits. Corsair understood this, but instead of building all of these complex products itself from scratch, the PC titan went on a massive (but calculated) shopping spree to acquire other companies that were already doing those things. Over the past decade, some of the most influential, trend-setting names in gaming and creator tech were quietly brought under a single corporate roof. Some of these sub-brands maintain such fiercely independent identities that everyday consumers have no clue they are technically buying from the exact same company that made their computer's colorful cooling fans. From elite content-creation gear to luxury simulation rigs, here are five prominent brands you probably didn't realize are owned by Corsair. Elgato If you've watched any live broadcast on Twitch or YouTube over the past several years, you've likely seen Elgato gear in action. The company is hardware royalty when it comes to the live streaming economy. It single-handedly made external capture

Retro top-down racer Pretend Cars Racing 2 exits Early Access Retro-themed top-down racer Pretend Cars Racing 2 has emerged from Steam Early Access, offering authentic motorsport vibes and a track editor at a budget price. PCR 2 leaves Steam Early Access today (31st August 2026) Features track editor, dynamic day-to-night cycle and wet weather Includes 37 tracks and seven car classes at launch Pretend Cars Racing 2 has exited Steam Early Access today, with the full release boasting a comprehensive career mode, 37 tracks inspired by real-world venues and seven decade-spanning car classes. Those of us of a certain age who remember classics like Super Cars II or Micro Machines will feel right at home with PCR 2, considering the obvious gameplay similarities, but the extra authenticity added by solo developer Patricio Marin is impressive. PCR 2 features a day-to-night cycle, wet weather, multi-class racing (yes, there are WEC-style prototypes and GT3 cars), and lets players fully edit driver names and vehicles (‘Battery Voltas’ need not apply). Perhaps the game’s most important feature is its track editor, with players able to share and download community creations via Steam Workshop support. Two-player local split-screen play is also possible, with players able to rope in friends thanks to Steam’s Let’s Play Together mechanic. All in all, PCR 2 seems to be a thorough collection of the best bits of retro-themed top-down racing games, and it looks like a bargain too, given its £7.15 / $7.99 price tag on PC. Discussion

The only way to get behind the Ford Mustang GTD’s wheel in Australia Ford has ruled out right-hand drive production of the Mustang GTD, but those wanting to know what it feels like to get behind the wheel will soon have that chance. Ever since Ford launched the Mustang GTD, it has said it only plans to make the supercharged pony car in left-hand drive, ruling it out – mostly – for Australia. However, the success of the Mustang GTD, as well as Ford’s latest performance push, has led sim racing giant Moza Racing to launch an officially licenced steering wheel, largely replicating that of the winged sports car. Said to be inspired by the Mustang GTD’s steering wheel rather than a like-for-like replica, its central ‘horn’ pad and flat-bottomed design mimic that of the exclusive car, though its button placements are more akin to GT3 racers. Measuring 330mm in diameter, it incorporates a 2.99-inch HD display which can be customised to each user’s desires, including using the graphics design of the Mustang GT3 race car, while behind the rim sit GTD-inspired gear paddles. Compatible with Moza bases and third-party bases through other methods, the wheel hasn’t yet been priced, though it’s likely to be a fraction of the cost of the real thing. Of course, there will be at least one Ford Mustang GTD in the world with right-hand drive, after Melbourne’s Mustang Motorsport announced earlier this year it’s converting founder Craig Dean’s example locally. Alongside the reveal of the Mustang GTD sim racing wheel, Moza also unveiled multiple Mercedes-licenced wheels, as well as a replica of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS's steering wheel.

A new week brings a new set of Gran Turismo 7 Daily Races, with three fresh events now live and running through next Monday, September 7. Race A is the bite-sized one this week, three laps of Suzuka in the Honda Civic Type R (EK) Touring Car on Sports Mediums, with a Grid Start and False Start Check to keep everyone honest off the line. It’s a fun combo that makes for a good warm-up before the week’s bigger events. Race B sends Gr.3 machinery to the Watkins Glen Long Course for five laps on Racing Mediums, rolling start, with brake balance the only setting left open. Race C returns to the 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit for fourteen laps in the five Le Mans hypercars, an exact repeat of the race that ran on June 22. At the better part of an hour, it’s comfortably the meatiest event of the three. Early reaction in the forums’ GT7 Daily Race Discussion thread has been positive on the week as a whole, with Watkins Glen drawing the most enthusiasm and shaping up as the popular pick. The Le Mans combo has its fans too, though it’s a long that can spread a thinning field out a little too much. The Civic, meanwhile, has been stirring some pleasant nostalgia for older Gran Turismo games. All three races are still running on Update 1.71’s reworked physics, and the GT7 Physics thread remains the place to compare notes on how the new handling model feels in competition if you want to weigh in.

TOYOTA Motor Philippines has opened qualifiers for the 2026 TGR Philippines Esports GT Championship, giving aspiring racers another chance to move from the virtual world into actual motorsport. The esports season comes just after the conclusion of Race Weekend 3 of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Philippine Cup last Aug. 15, continuing Toyota’s effort to connect sim racing with its real-world racing program. The TGR Philippines Esports GT Championship has become more than just a competition for Gran Turismo players. Previous winners have gone on to compete in the TGR Philippine Cup, showing that quick hands and good racecraft behind a simulator can eventually lead to a seat in an actual race car. Qualifying runs from Aug. 17 to Sept. 13 this year and can be done either online or at selected Toyota GR performance dealerships. For participants without their own PlayStation setup, onsite qualifying is available at Toyota Makati, Toyota Alabang, Toyota Silang Cavite, Toyota San Fernando Pampanga, Toyota Calamba, Toyota Cebu City, Toyota Otis, Toyota Commonwealth, Toyota Manila Bay, Toyota Global City, and Toyota Santa Rosa. Those who prefer to qualify from home will need a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, a copy of Gran Turismo 7, an active PlayStation Network account and a PlayStation Plus subscription. All participants, whether competing online or onsite, must register in advance to secure a qualifying schedule. The biggest change for 2026 is the addition of a Junior Class aimed at younger competitors. Racers aged 18 and below will compete separately, while participants aged 19 and above will enter the Sporting Class. Previously, all drivers competed in a single category, with the top three eventually earning the chance to represent the Philippines in the regional finals. This year, the top 10 fastest drivers from the Sporting Class and the top 10 from the

The Direct Drive wheelbase market is expanding again in 2026. New manufacturers are moving into higher torque classes, established brands are replacing older flagship hardware, and console users will soon have more options below the traditional premium price point. Following Gamescom 2026, several additional wheelbases have now joined an already busy year for sim racing hardware. The most important upcoming products include PXN’s new S16 and S23, Sim-Lab’s DDS26 and DDS39 TorqueSync, three console-focused Revosim systems and Thermaltake’s developing G15 platform. Meanwhile, MOZA, Fanatec, SIMAGIC and Simucube have already released or started taking orders for significant new Direct Drive hardware during 2026. One important distinction applies before comparing specifications. Manufacturers describe torque differently. Some quote constant or sustained torque, while others specify maximum or peak output. Fanatec even separates holding torque from temporary peak overshoot. The figures below therefore reproduce the terminology supplied by each manufacturer rather than treating every Nm rating as an identical measurement. Upcoming Direct Drive Wheelbases Still to Arrive PXN S16 and S23 PXN delivered one of the biggest wheelbase surprises of Gamescom 2026 with the S16 and S23, its most powerful Direct Drive bases to date. The S16 provides a claimed 16 Nm of constant torque, while the S23 raises that figure to 23 Nm constant, moving PXN considerably beyond the affordable and entry-level hardware with which the company has traditionally been associated. Both bases use a 24-bit magnetic encoder, dual-core processing and a real torque sensor. PXN also lists intelligent temperature management and software configuration through PXN SimRacing. The torque sensor is particularly notable because the base can measure its actual output rather than relying only on motor calculations when managing force feedback. PXN allowed Gamescom visitors to drive the S16 alongside its GT ONE steering wheel and Vector X pedals, so the hardware

Several major PC hardware developments could affect sim racers planning an upgrade over the next few years. Memory manufacturer SK hynix expects tight memory supply to continue through 2030, AMD has accidentally revealed important details about its next Zen 6 desktop platform, and an unfinished version of NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 Neural Rendering technology is already being tested by modders. There is also an important development for console racers. Xbox Insiders can begin testing a new system today that links supported physical games to digital entitlements while allowing the original disc to continue working. Taken together, these developments could affect how much future sim racing PCs cost, which upgrade paths remain available and how upcoming rendering technologies perform. RAM Prices Could Remain a Problem for Years SK hynix CEO Kwak Noh-jung expects the current memory semiconductor shortage to continue through the end of 2030. The company sees continued AI demand as a major factor and is expanding production capacity, including a new Indiana facility expected to begin mass production of next-generation HBM4E products in 2029. That does not mean consumer DDR5 prices are guaranteed to remain at today’s levels until 2030. The market for HBM used in AI accelerators differs from desktop DRAM. However, manufacturers are dedicating substantial resources to high-value AI memory, and continued pressure across the wider memory industry could make another period of extremely cheap desktop RAM less likely. For sim racers, memory capacity has become increasingly relevant. iRacing currently lists 16 GB as its minimum and recommended configuration, while its high-end specification calls for 32 GB or more. Le Mans Ultimate recommends 16 GB. Drivers who also run telemetry tools, overlays, streaming software, browsers or other applications alongside the simulator can add further memory pressure. This makes RAM pricing worth considering when planning a new sim racing

New F1 racing simulator centre opens in Peterborough City’s Formula One fans can embrace their need for speed at recently-opened Midgate entertainment venue A new racing simulator entertainment venue designed to thrill motorsport fans has opened in Midgate. Racecraft Sim is home to a collection of state-of-the-art simulators which can be used independently or linked to together to enable groups of friends – or rivals – to race each other. The venture is the brainchild of Johnson Falaiye, a self-confessed Formula One super-fan. He told the Peterborough Telegraph why he believed the city needed this venue: "We are fans of F1 and for us to get [access to] sim racing venues is difficult – you have to travel out of town,” he explained. “So we thought ‘Okay, why not set something up in Peterborough?’” The sleek Hereward Cross venue features eight simulators, replete with private headphones and option-heavy, F1-style steering wheels which will no doubt please fans of Verstappen, Hamilton and co. Johnson went on to explain how the simulators differ from driving games people may see in video arcades: "This is more realistic,” he said, “you feel the effect – it’s like you’re driving a real race car!” The steering wheel is certainly unlike anything you’re likely to encounter in a video arcade, with everything from traction control, changeable paddles and race telemetry on hand. “It has about 21 functions,” he said, smiling; “there’s so much you can do with it.” The centre enables customers to race on computer-rendered versions of real-life tracks, which change each month. In addition, Racecraft Sim also real-life maintains a running scoreboard so drivers can chase pole position and beat personal bests. Visit https://www.racecraftsim.co.uk/ for more info.

MOZA Racing used Gamescom 2026 to show its Racing Lab AI Coach in one of its clearest demonstrations so far. Instead of limiting the presentation to telemetry graphs and automated laps, MOZA placed the system against Jarno Opmeer and Porsche Carrera Cup driver Dirk Schouten at Spa-Francorchamps, using a Porsche 991 GT3 R and two matching simulator setups. The demonstration was designed to show more than outright lap time. Racing Lab combines telemetry analysis, AI-generated reference data and direct control of compatible MOZA hardware. The system can record a driver’s inputs, identify where time is lost and then reproduce its own steering and pedal behavior through the wheelbase and active pedals. Racing Lab records detailed telemetry while the driver practices. The software analyzes lap time delta, speed, braking, throttle, gear selection and steering input. Drivers can then select a sector or corner and compare their own racing line and inputs against the AI reference, making it easier to identify exactly where performance starts to fall away. MOZA is also developing Racing Lab as a more accessible coaching tool. Instead of requiring beginners to interpret every telemetry trace themselves, the AI can identify areas that deserve attention and direct the user toward the relevant data. This can highlight problems such as braking too early, releasing the pedal too quickly, carrying too little speed or delaying throttle application. The most unusual feature is the AI’s ability to control the simulator hardware directly. Racing Lab can steer through a compatible MOZA wheelbase while the mBooster Active Pedals reproduce braking and throttle inputs. A driver can therefore feel when the AI brakes, how it releases pressure into a corner and how much steering input it applies. MOZA sees this physical feedback as a way to make techniques such as trail braking easier to understand.

F1’s Return A Golden Opportunity To Rebuild Malaysia's Motorsports Ecosystem By Siti Radziah Hamzah KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Formula One's (F1) return to the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) presents Malaysia with a golden opportunity to rebuild its motorsport ecosystem, according to Malaysia’s former F1 driver Alex Yoong. He said the F1’s return would carry greater significance if it left a lasting legacy beyond the race itself, by encouraging greater investment in grassroots motorsport, driver development and regional racing, creating a stronger pathway for Malaysian talent to progress to the highest levels of the sport. Speaking to Bernama in an interview recently, Yoong stressed that hosting F1 must be backed by a compelling commercial case and a clear long-term vision of what the event could deliver for Malaysia beyond a single race weekend. The championship could generate benefits, including boosting tourism, creating business opportunities and raising Malaysia's international profile. Yoong made history when he became Malaysia's first F1 driver, racing for Minardi in 2001. He competed in 18 Grands Prix (GP) from 2001 to 2002, and currently holds the record as the only Malaysian driver to compete in F1, which is the highest class of motor racing. He remains one of the country's most recognisable figures in motorsport, continuing to channel his passion for the sport through his work as a motorsport broadcaster. “As someone who has raced in F1 and spent much of my career developing motorsport in Malaysia and the region, it is great to see a track from Southeast Asia back on the world’s foremost racing calendar," said Yoong. Creating a lasting legacy for Malaysian motorsport While F1 represents the pinnacle of motorsport, Yoong said sustained support for the talent development pathway would be just as important if the championship returns to Malaysia, helping more Malaysians

If you’re a fan of simulated racing on four wheels, there’s no shortage of high-quality steering wheels, pedals, and other gear available to build a great rig. That hasn’t really been the case for those who prefer two wheels, but what looks like a compelling new option just dropped. Moza has quickly gone from an upstart to a respected maker of sim gear, and at Gamescom 2026 this week it unveiled an officially licensed MotoGP handlebar controller. At first blush, a couple of us here at The Drive were a bit skeptical about it, as it brought to mind novelty controllers like the Tony Hawk: Ride skateboard or the plastic instruments for Guitar Hero and Rock Band. But this does seem like an earnest attempt to do for motorcycles what sim-rig wheels have done for cars, and not just a cash grab by MotoGP. Moza claims the handlebar controller “closely follows” the proportions of the handlebars of real-life MotoGP bikes, with a similar control layout, and that it was “ergonomically refined” with input from professional riders. The layout is so close to the real thing that the brake lever and grips can be swapped out for parts off an actual motorcycle, Moza claims. The main structure is made from lightweight magnesium alloy. The bars are also adjustable in width and angle, while the clutch and brake levers and the clusters of buttons on both grips can pivot for a more comfortable grip. There are 10 buttons in total (five per side), plus a five-way switch on the left side and a D-pad in the middle that can be freely assigned to different functions. The bars can be paired with Moza’s CM2 digital dashboard or DIY displays, according to the company. The brakes and clutch use Hall-effect sensors, and the bars
