Yes, the SIMGASM Sport is the right tier for a Simucube 3 Ultimate. The Ultimate delivers 35 Nm, and SIMGASM recommends Sport or Pro for wheelbases above 26 Nm up to 40 Nm. The Sport gives you the stiffness this base needs, with a 40 x 120 mm profile and a 300 kg rated pedal deck, without the full size of the Pro.
Below you see why 35 Nm needs a serious frame, which Sport mount to choose and when the Pro is still worth the step up.
The Simucube 3 line up in short
Simucube offers three bases in its third generation, and each one lands in a different SIMGASM tier.
Sport, Pro and Ultimate
The Simucube 3 Sport delivers 15 Nm, the Simucube 3 Pro 25 Nm and the Simucube 3 Ultimate 35 Nm. The 25 Nm Pro base fits the Club tier, which SIMGASM matches with bases above 16 Nm up to 26 Nm, and the 15 Nm Sport base sits below that range. The Ultimate is the one that moves you into Sport territory.
Why 35 Nm changes the frame choice
At 35 Nm a strong base pushes and pulls hard on the wheel mount during every slide and kerb strike. If the mount or uprights bend even a little, you lose detail and the steering feels vague. A stiff frame turns that force into clean feedback in your hands. Our direct drive torque guide shows how these numbers relate to what you feel.

Why the Sport suits the Ultimate
The Sport was made for exactly this kind of hardware.
A thicker base and pedal tray
The Sport aluminium simulator range uses a thicker base structure and pedal tray than the Club. That gives a calm foundation for steering and braking. High end bases often come with high end load cell pedals, and the 300 kg rated braking load at the pedal deck handles very firm brake settings.
Room for a growing setup
A Simucube 3 Ultimate build rarely stops at wheel and pedals. The Sport includes the Apex side profile arm for a shifter or handbrake and has integrated cable passthroughs. Our article on routing cables on a SIMGASM Sport shows how to keep a big build tidy. The Sport is also motion ready, which helps when you add haptics later.
Which Sport mount fits a Simucube 3
Mount choice decides how solid the base feels, so take a minute for it.
Bottom mount or front mount
On the Sport, the Bottom Mount covers supported underside patterns from brands including Simucube. The regular Front Mount covers supported Simucube and VRS front patterns. The model table on each product page tells you which one fits your exact base, so check it before you order. Our wheel mount guide explains the difference in plain words.
Set the height first
Set the wheel height and angle before you tighten everything for good. The Sport wheel mount adjusts in height and angle, so you build the cockpit around your body. Leave a service loop in the power cable, as a 35 Nm base needs a thick lead.

When to choose the Pro instead
The Sport is the matched tier, yet a few cases still point to the Pro.
Motion and maximum margin
The Pro uses a 40 x 160 mm profile with heavy duty steel reinforcement at key points. Choose it when you plan a full motion platform, run many add ons or want the most margin possible. Above 40 Nm, the Pro is the only SIMGASM option. If you also own a 25 Nm base, read whether the Sport suits a MOZA R25 Ultra for a direct comparison.
What the founder drives
Johan Akkerman races on a Sport himself, combined with a Formula Atlas seat, VR and motion. Before SIMGASM, he moved his own rig to a Simucube 2 base, and as Project CARS 2 world team champion of 2019 he knows how much detail a strong base delivers. SIMGASM B.V. develops its patented cockpit designs in Wijk bij Duurstede and tests each one as part of a complete simulator.
