Industrial-style technology museum set to be built in Bengaluru - Dezeen

The AURA GT is a new button plate, or hub, and there’s a fresh range of rims to create four new steering wheels, too. Ascher Racing has unveiled a new GT-style sim racing wheel range at the SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026. The AURA GT is, fundamentally, an all-new button plate (sometimes referred to as a wheel hub), which in turn can be paired with third-party wheel rims, or two new Ascher-created units. Each of these two fresh designs can be had in either leather or suede, meaning four new steering wheels are available. Ascher terms it as “three shapes, five styles”. It’s also its first wheel range with native Simucube Link support, should you choose. AURA GT wheel plateBilled as a successor to the existing B-Series range (the hub specifically is set to replace the Ascher B16-USB), the AURA GT wheel plate features eight RGB-backed push buttons taken from the company’s McLaren Artuta wheel range. These sit alongside two thumb encoders, two seven-way joysticks, two 12-position rotaries and 21 LEDs.
