 So a little bit of fun fact while I was getting the Fanatec off my rig and the Mazda racing one set up None of the holes on my energy innovations base fit the Mazda racing base, but What I did find out and it's kind of a an awesome thing my Fanatec angled base Lines up exactly with the back two holes of the Mazda Simracing base so we're gonna be using the Fanatec riser and angle plate which will put it to where I want it to be you know for my base setup, but It will only use two holes So I may have to drill two more holes in here if I want but the Fanatec base does fit for the angle bracket That's fit on the Mazda racing from the club sports So fun little fact so we're gonna continue to get this thing installed on the rig so we can get this thing Ripping up and it does say wheelbase active Feel like we need to calibrate this because I feel like this is not centered So we're gonna hook the wheel on we got some nice actual tracking of lights We're gonna activate the wheel and we're gonna do finish now. I Think so I want to center this and I think we click center on this Yep, there we go now. We're centered and there we have rotation. It's set looks like it's only 360 okay, so there's a lot of movement and a lot of change 900 degrees Yep, that's way more So it's kind of very sweet that it's just easily set up It's noticing it's recognizing everything is on the screen So everything is working and correct so game feedback for the R9 it shows oh Man, so there's so many different options GT Rally performance Formula cart There's a drift option There is a drift option on here and it does full force feedback and equalizing and you can adjust everything So there is a drift setting in here and Then a GT setting Yep, so it limits It makes it a lot less So that's actually very intriguing so if You can if you're noticing so on GT setting It actually only goes that far before hits a soft lock That far before it hits a soft lock then if we go drift There's way more Huh, that's and then cart is probably very little yep, that's a cart feel Performance it's got some really heavy resistance on the performance aspect and then rally very loose and very tight steering Formula is even tighter steering and it has presets for everything like that So we're gonna click on the drift one because well actually we're gonna go GT because we're probably going to It does activate the horn button does work. Oh Yes, let's go back to taking a look at this The horn button actually activates that is super cool We don't have a display Let's go back to the wheel and it's the axis split. There's so much Lead normal late custom we're gonna leave that on normal So yeah, you can just oh and here's all our different color options So you can change Everything this say red for the last three and then if I want to do Blue And green You can adjust the brightness of it too that is awesome So we're gonna see how this is and also it shows that there's you got it you can configure Different games so that's actually super intriguing to me that it does configure that way We're gonna make sure we get to our speakers because we're gonna take this and kind of do a first little I would guess impressions on it and see where we're at because this is actually I Like all the profile settings because I know we have the app so let's see if we can actually get the app to work Because I was talking about this before so Robin of the Mazda racing app And you can see right there. It says R9. So we're gonna go connect the device When using the app Okay allow So it is pulling up my R9 so I'm gonna click connect Super simple on that one Error check the Bluetooth is turned on or try again. Oh well Actually, I probably should have Searched it So I may have to actually somehow turn on Bluetooth or something like that on this Because I'm not sure if this is actually. Oh, it is confirmed. There we go. Now. I just confirmed it steering wheel normal screen not detected In her car so I Can literally I think switch it to drift mode from my phone and It just did that and then we can go We'll go to cart mode because that's a big change Recenters my wheel and makes the cut so you can do all of this GT racing mode Right up there. You can change your force feedback. You can change everything Just via the phone You can even adjust your your timing for your lights and everything like that if you need to I didn't want to do that You go back up We're gonna confirm Reset parameters. There we go So reset all the parameters now keep it in the wrong button resetting all the parameters and We're just gonna So you can do presets save preset preset library so you can have Presets for say personal drivers and things like that like I was talking about when I first took a look at the at the wheel so let's go ahead and Go back to the main screen and I want to make sure we're gonna go GT and Then we're gonna go back here. So it says it's at 80% force feedback that might be really high We're gonna launch competitor zone So we're gonna go into options. Let's see if everything is just automatically connected steering is not So we do need to Rebind our controls for our wheel So shift up if down so that does work Pit limiter Gonna do that one We're just cycle wipers up top Next dash up top Increase trash control Decrease Decrease Okay, so I need to That's decrease And that's increase. Okay, so the increase and decrease on the toggle. Okay light cycle You do that one for now Nable rain lights cycle camera Look left And we can use our glance buttons Which is really Awesome So we're gonna leave all of that for right now, but now we need to get There it is. Mazda R9 is calibrated now So we are good on that aspect. We got our R9 calibrated just by doing that And we're gonna go back again, and we're gonna do a Practice session. We do have the BMW M4 GT3 Set up so we do where did my phone go? So we do have the app on And we are still connected to We are still connected to the wheel so we have everything I'm gonna put the brightness up for the lights at 100 I'm not sure what 1 and 2 mode mode 1 and mode 2 are but we're gonna figure that we're gonna keep the app up So that if we want to make some sort of adjustments we can So we're gonna start the session And we're gonna go straight to setup We're gonna do our aggressive setup, and we're gonna set our break bias how I like it And we're gonna go back so this could be the first initial test with the with the R9 base on GT setting in the app so the app is set up in that so we're just gonna click drive We got to make sure get our ignition turned on and Right off the rip the lights Work super cool, so now I want to see what the actual 2 mode is so we're gonna click mode 2 oh So mode to the tracks and then when it gets to red line the whole bar flashes red And then mode one The whole that's super cool. All right We're gonna do mode to where it tracks blue and then the whole light flashes So the fact that I can just change it on my phone without exiting the game is Amazing we can change parameters and everything like that. So that is super awesome and super cool So now we're started up We're gonna Get our gloves on Because I want to keep the new rim nice and clean So we're gonna get our gloves on and we're gonna go for our first initial drive We have our glance left and right on our back. So we got our pit limiter button Works right away It's the first initial Drive with the new R9 wheelbase and the RS racing wheel Super excited for this to feedback off the rip feels Really good for their basic settings All that light is so cool So Mazda good to say gets a track that I know so we should be able to get a good feel Feel of it initially the dial up track control a little bit and first Initial feel of this wheel Is this a lot more road feel I'm noticing off the rip from my club sport And that could be you know the fact that they have a GT setting In this I like right there I felt the wheels with the base started chattering a little bit because it was a lock up so Things that I probably didn't really notice much on my club sport and I can definitely tell That was a one-to-one For my steering that's actually really awesome. Oh, that was a late break Yep, I could feel the vibration to the base because of a lock up of wheels. That was a really bad Bad break but what I like so much about this is those lights Are super nice. They're super bright and the fact that you can adjust all of that how you want is By far awesome now. I think I have it set to normal and I think they're coming on way sooner than they should Yeah, so I could set it to go on later or percentage of everything which is what's really cool and overall feedback from just their basic profile on Whoa Little bit little bit squirrely there their basic profile feels really good and Fine-tuning this is gonna make this thing feel so much better and I cannot wait to get you know behind the wheel of a drift car and see how this thing works in drift mode because it does have a drift mode In their settings, so they already have Parameter set up for drifting so definitely very curious to see what their drift mode is gonna be like And if you know I can make some tweaks and you know get it to feel how even better We'll flash the pass there Ever like controls So with my fantasy pedals being able to be separated From my base, I'm able to run my fantasy pedals right now and my handbrake works, too But my shifter doesn't I would need to get the USB adapter for my shifter But Overall first impressions so excited about this wheel. It feels super amazing out of the box right now You know, I haven't even gotten into fully fine-tuning it myself But like just the effect of the light on top is Something that like I'm gonna utilize in all my parameters because you guys know I have a stream deck on the outside for like parameters and I love my Outside parameters that I get to look at and watch and you know the get immersion is you know, hopefully whoa Okay, settle down there car might be moving into three screens soon and doing the triples But I do have my VR but having these lights you couldn't Enjoy them in VR if you notice I'm just switching between driving cameras as I'm driving to give you guys a full view of the rim and everything so Definitely super excited about this base. It feels so much nicer and Little I feel like a little more precise. I just you know, I'm gonna be driving a lot more I'm gonna be doing some more comparison with my club sport and then also Looking up with my buddy Charles But you guys know was in that 12 hour race we did at Sebring. He has a CSL DD So we're gonna definitely do a comparison between the DD and this Mazda R9 because I feel like these those two are on the same Parameters and it would be good to you know, just compare that to I feel so I hope you guys enjoyed this video If you guys want to keep seeing more of the other cop six down below Definitely once again a big thank you to awesome racing for making this possible and becoming a new partner to the channel and myself Definitely feels super nice. I'm noticing a lot of different road feel different Precision in this out of this direct drive from my club sport So as always I think I've come back and watching me should follow me on all social media I'll try to watch below be sure to check out Mazda racing everything will be in the description box below for them And as always I think you guys come back and watching I'm evil rabbit. I'll see you guys on the track
