Every tenth of a second count! If you’re looking for pedals that help you to be both quick and consistent, look no further. Years of experience and all new testing methods have been used during the development of this innovative top-of-the-line simulator product: the Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Sprint.
The Sim Pedals Sprint is a strong, compact and highly adjustable design, with the main parts made out of CNC precision laser cut steel. Mathematical models were made to accurately calculate pedal travel and force curves, predicting with great accuracy how each pedal behaves in different configurations.
All metal profiles either have a RAL7016 Anthracite Grey fine-structure powder coat or a bead blasted semi-gloss metallic look.
The pedals include all new concepts for bearings and pivot points in order to minimize unnecessary play. Automated testing routines have been used to simulate up to 1 million duty cycles.
Durable load cells measure throttle and clutch position/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/18.jpgn and force applied to the brake. Unlike designs with rotary potentiometers, load cells provide true linear output in relation to your pedal output. They are insensitive to dust and dirt and do not wear out, resulting in unmatched accuracy and durability over time.
Custom developed and EMC tested electronics make sure each pedal responds instantly and accurately in your favorite simulator software. The included SmartControl software allows easy configuration of dead zones, brake force and customize (non-linear) pedal output curves.
Throttle
Smooth, accurate and greatly adjustable, the throttle pedal gives you excellent control over any race car. With five pedal travel settings, adjustable pedal force curve, spring preload, pedal angle and pedal height you’ll be able to set up the throttle exactly to your liking.
The graphs below show the effect of the force curve (left) and preload adjustments (right).
Brake
The dual stage brake system consists of an adjustable initial coil spring, simulating the pad to disc gap, and progressive rubber springs. The pedal firmness is adjusted by selecting from 6 different rubber stack heights. The pedal angle and pedal height can also be adjusted.
With up to 65kg (143lbs) of maximum brake force, this brake pedal caters both for simracers who like to apply significant force while braking but also for racers who like much lower operating forces.
The graphs below show the effect of the force curve adjustment.
Clutch
The clutch features a regressive spring mechanism to simulate a typical concave clutch curve. Furthermore, the clutch features three pedal force curve settings, adjustable spring preload, pedal angle, and pedal height.

Electronics
The all new electronics have been integrated into the brake pedal. This allows for a clean setup with a minimum of wire clutter.
The controller board has received a conformal coating in order to shield it from moisture and dust. The product as a whole has been tested to be compliant with all applicable European EMC norms and regulations.
Smart control
The Sim Pedals Sprint comes with powerful configuration tools allowing you to set up your pedals in ways not previously possible: SmartControl. Working together with all-new electronics, SmartControl allows for instant mapping of (non-linear) pedal output curves, pedal dead zones and brake pedal force.
These adjustments can be made without having to recalibrate the pedals (including iRacing). All settings can be saved into profiles, which can be loaded again in a few mouse clicks.
Mapping pedal output curves
A key feature of SmartControl is the ability to set custom signal output maps per pedal. Traditionally race simulator pedal output has had a one-on-one sensitivity in relation to the pedal input. SmartControl allows you to map non-linear output curves using 5 zones (six input parameters).
Each pedal has a Curve Type pull-down menu with pre-defined output curves. You can also select the option to make a custom curve and manually set the desired pedal output percentage for each zone. You have complete freedom to set your own shapes.
Dead zones and brake force adjustment
SmartControl offers quick and easy adjustment of pedal dead zones. The effect of changing these adjustments can be seen visually and real-time. Also, the required brake force to get 100% brake output in your simulator can be set in a few mouse clicks.
Profiles
There is support for an unlimited amount of profiles within SmartControl. Saving and loading a profile is done in a few mouse clicks. Because profile data is saved relative to your calibration values, it is possible to exchange pedal profiles between Sim Pedals Sprint owners.
Calibration wizard
Your Sim Pedals Sprint is pre-calibrated during assembly and can be used as a plug&play device. All adjustments in SmartControl can be made without having to recalibrate the pedals.
In case you do need to recalibrate (for example after making certain mechanical adjustments to the pedals), SmartControl has an easy to follow calibration wizard.

Been searching for a set of Sprint pedals for a couple of months and was finally able to snag a pair from Simulation1. Shipped out same day.
In terms of the pedals, after doing research between the Fanatec V3 and Sprint pedals I decided to go straight to the Sprints based on feedback of users that upgraded from V3 to Sprint saying they wish they went straight to Sprints.
Coming from Logitech and Thrustmaster none-loadcell pedals I can say they are well worth the investment if you are serious about sim racing. A good pedal set adds not just immersion but consistency. IMO, it was a better overall upgrade than the TS300 to the DD2.
Smooth, adjustable and feels high quality.
One note, you will need to have a sturdy cockpit/rig to take advantage of these pedals.

Can’t go wrong with these for the casual racer. The clutch feels less like a clutch than other pedal sets I’ve used. They have a good amount of adjustability. The software is great. They felt better than the Fanatec V3 set (brake and throttle) but not as good as the VRS pedals, however the VRS pedals are more in-line with the Ultimates.
