It’s actually very interesting to figure out how to think about these two sets of pedals, because I feel like I’m missing some clarity here.
Right now I have the SimNet SP2 Pro, and it’s basically a typical GT-style pedal set. You can run it as a 3-pedal setup or just 2 if you want. You pay for three, or less for two, but in the end it’s the same system — same pedals, same design, just configured differently.
With Fanatec, I would expect something similar for the GT-style set. You buy the full set of three pedals, but if you don’t need the clutch, you just install brake and throttle and that’s it. I assume you don’t have to run all three, but that still needs to be confirmed.
Then you have the Formula-style pedals, which are only brake and throttle, but the design is completely different. That’s where it gets interesting.
I’m genuinely not sure how these will work in practice. Will they be comfortable in a GT-style cockpit, or are they really designed around a proper Formula seating position? Because if it’s the latter, then that’s a completely different use case.
Right now that’s a big question mark for me, and I honestly don’t know the answer.
