Customer Reviews
Massive upgrade from my old wheel
Switched from a Logitech G29 and the difference is night and day. The force feedback detail lets me feel curbs and tire slip like never before. Setup with Pit House was straightforward.
Great torque, software needs polish
The 9Nm feels powerful without being overwhelming for a mid-tier wheel. My only gripe is the Pit House software occasionally needs a restart to recognize the device properly.
Perfect for iRacing
Been using this for six months now with the ES rim. The direct drive precision has genuinely improved my lap times. Cooling fan keeps it comfortable during long endurance races.
Solid but needs adapter for console
Works flawlessly on PC. Had to buy the separate adapter for PS5 which added to the cost. Otherwise very happy with the build quality and feedback strength.
