SG Racing RALLY LC:
a reason to reach for the shifter.

Review disclosure: SG Racing supplied this combo free of charge for review, and I retained it. The original video was not sponsored, and I had no affiliate relationship with SG Racing. The product link below is a direct manufacturer link.

The SG Racing Combo RALLY LC made me seek out cars and sims where I could use a sequential shifter and handbrake more often. That says a lot about how much I enjoyed it. I already liked SG Racing’s PRO V2 shifter, so I came into this review with high expectations. The rally combo delivered the solid, mechanical feel I was hoping for, with a few installation details worth planning around.

A purposeful design

The RALLY LC looks like equipment that belongs beside a rally driver’s seat. The design is straightforward, with tall levers and a solid aluminium body. There is very little decoration, and that suits what I want from this kind of hardware.

Both units felt substantial and well made in my hands. The shifter sat slightly taller than the handbrake, which helped the arrangement feel natural when reaching across from the wheel. My handbrake had the black finish. Check the current listing for the finishes available when you order.

SG Racing lists the combo at approximately 3 kg and 40 cm tall. Those dimensions are worth checking against your seating position, wheel and monitor arrangement. This is a prominent pair of controls beside your rig, so placement matters.

You can choose the arrangement for left- or right-handed shifting when ordering. I would decide that around the side of the rig you use and the space available, rather than assuming every configuration will be equally convenient.

The shifter’s feel is the main attraction

The sequential action was the highlight for me. Each push or pull had a strong, definite resistance that made shifting feel satisfying. It took enough effort to add to the experience without becoming exhausting during longer sessions.

The metal gear knob felt good in my hand. Its integrated button can be assigned for neutral or reverse in a suitable setup, giving me a useful control right where I was already reaching. Because of that integrated button, the knob on my unit was not designed to be swapped like a simple threaded knob.

I liked the balance of force and travel during driving. The mechanism felt deliberate and consistent, and I could adjust the resistance to suit my preferences. That is more useful to me than simply making a shifter as heavy as possible.

During my testing, I did not encounter missed inputs or double shifts. The response felt immediate, although this review did not include instrumented latency measurements. My praise comes from using it on the rig and enjoying the action repeatedly.

Progressive handbrake control

The handbrake provided smooth analogue input, so I could vary how much I applied rather than treating it as an on/off switch. That made it enjoyable for rally turns and drift adjustments.

SG Racing’s published figures describe around 7–9 kg of push/pull force to trigger a shift and about 10 kg of handbrake lever force for full input. I did not independently measure those forces. In use, the resistance felt substantial but manageable.

The adjustable handbrake angle helped me position the lever around my driving posture. It is worth taking the time to get that right: the best position should let you reach it naturally and return to the wheel without an awkward movement.

The handbrake and shifter worked well as a pair. Their controls felt distinct, and both added to the physical involvement of driving. That was the appeal for me, rather than a claim that the hardware would automatically improve anyone’s lap times.

Mounting: check the holes and the support arm

The combo comes on a shared mounting plate with multiple holes. That gives you options, but I would still compare the pattern with your rig or mounting bracket before buying.

On my ASR shifter mount, I could line up two screws rather than four. The setup worked for my review, but I would have preferred the additional attachment points. Do not treat my installation as proof that the plate is a direct fit for every ASR mount or other cockpit.

You may see movement when I pull the handbrake in the video. That came from the shifter support arm on my rig moving slightly, rather than the handbrake or its mounting plate flexing. It did not particularly distract me while driving, but it is an important distinction when judging the hardware.

A firm handbrake pull puts a meaningful load into the structure around it. I would give the mounting arrangement as much attention as the controls themselves, especially if your rig has a long or lightly supported accessory arm.

The control box, status light and optional knob

The wiring runs from the two units into a small control box, then connects to the PC or USB hub through a single USB connection. The cable-management coil kept the wiring together, but the separate box was one more thing to find a place for.

I managed to hide that box inside my ASR shifter mount. It worked neatly in my installation, although I would have preferred not to need the extra box at all.

The green status light was my other small annoyance. It stayed illuminated whenever the shifter had power, which meant it was always on with my USB hub arrangement. I would have preferred it to stay dark. That was a preference rather than a problem with the controls working.

My review unit included the optional brake-bias knob, which secured to the shifter base with small screws. The metal knob felt good and could be useful if your wheel has few controls. It is an extra rather than part of the standard combo, so include it only if it suits how you want to assign your inputs.

Driving with the combo

I used the combo in sims including iRacing, Dirt Rally 2.0, WRC and Assetto Corsa. The strongest impression was how much fun the controls added when I chose cars suited to this style of shifting.

The shifter had the positive action I wanted, and the handbrake let me modulate its input smoothly. I found myself choosing different cars and sessions specifically because I wanted to use the pair again.

I reported no functional problems over the testing period covered by the original review. That describes my own experience, rather than a promise of unlimited durability or an endurance certification.

The combination made a convincing addition to my cockpit. Its appeal was the repeated physical interaction: reaching for the lever, feeling the resistance and getting back onto the wheel. Those moments are a large part of why I enjoy sim racing.

Price and my final verdict

My October 2025 review quoted €390 before taxes, shipping and import fees for the configuration I tested, including the optional €40 brake-bias knob. Those are the historical figures discussed in the video. Use the official product page for the current price and the options available to you.

I thought the combo offered strong value at that review price. The build, shifter action and handbrake feel made it a compelling package for someone who specifically wanted these two controls.

This is a dedicated sequential setup. If you also need H-pattern shifting, consider how you will cover that separately or whether a different type of shifter better suits your cars.

For my use, the SG Racing RALLY LC was easy to enjoy. I would plan the mounting carefully and make room for the control box, but the small annoyances did not take away from the driving experience. The best endorsement I can give it is that it made me want to spend more time using it.
