How the reviews work

Editorial policy
Specification first.

Every product page carries the manufacturer's specifications and the compatibility rules that apply to it, sourced and dated.

A score only after testing.

Marcel's verdicts and scores are published only once he has signed off the testing behind them. Until then a product shows no rating rather than a placeholder.

Affiliate links, disclosed.

Retailer links are tracked affiliate links and say so. Commission never changes a score, a badge or the order of a list.

Reference prices, labelled.

A price is either a manufacturer RRP marked as reference, or a retailer price with the date it was checked. Nothing is sold here.

Gear for sim and track

Manufacturer specifications, platform compatibility and retailer links. Marcel's scores arrive as each review is signed off.
