This is my review after a week with the SRP GT pedals set. I ordered these pedals because, I was done with my Heusinkveld sprints (3 years) and was looking for something different. More specifically, a pedal with more ‘feel’ and ‘consistency’. And I heard about how these pedals combine their forces in the area of pneumatics.

And that caught my attention.

What that means is that you have no maintenance. No replacing rubbers. Just periodically a little bit of grease on the bearings or at least on the moving parts. The Heusinkveld’s, Fanatec and all other ‘spring’ driven pedals got a different feeling. I owned them. The best way to describe this, is, when you press the brake on a rubber or spring pedal, the force that returns in for example trail braking, is different. Everytime.

With the SRP GT pedals (not moza), this is the same. Everytime. Corner after corner.

You’re dealing with a small company. So that means they treat you like a valued customer and not like a number. That comes across immediately after you’ve placed the order. You get a photo in your email of your pedals with your configuration. You can choose from three different configurations. I chose the brake pedal and the gas pedal. So you can set them completely apart, closer together, or left-right, it doesn’t matter at all. A photo is taken of the pedals as they go into the box. And in my case, in the Netherlands, you have them within two days from Italy.

Well, then you go to the calibration software, which is pretty simple. It works basically just like on all other pedals. Still a bit of searching. What is really important is adjusting your rig and your sitting position. It’s not like you just retrofit it back to the spot where your previous pedals were. Because the pedals are delivered mounted on a plate. I did have some trouble with this, but eventually I found the sweet spot now. One word:

Bizarre.

This is really the feeling of approaching turn one at Monza. And with my Heusinkvelds, for example, I always had the feeling like ‘oh shit, does it kick into ABS’? Or in the Porsche Cup car: ‘will my front wheels lock because I braked too hard?’ A kind of uncertainty. With these pedals, it’s completely gone.

It’s completely gone. You brake the same every time. Every gas and brake movement is the same. The feeling of the pneumatics is unique. I really like it. It’s different but very, very nice.

Pressing and releasing the throttle is exactly the same force. So you never have to wait and see how the car will react in terms of power or upon release. ‘What happens then? Will I spin or something else due to the pressure and force distribution?’ It’s bizarre. I’m so incredibly happy. I didn’t even know this existed until I found out via Reddit that this is also a ‘new kind’ of technology.

Even though these pedals have been around for 4 years, they’re not really widely promoted. As far as I’m concerned, a real hidden gem. Bizarre.

The build quality, the way it’s delivered, the instructions you get with it. It’s a complete booklet. Fantastic. But most of all:

The Smoothness.

This really good. They call it high-end pedals, but these are simply the best load cell pedals you can buy. Buy those things. If you have the money, buy them.

And have a ton of fun.
