Simply attach your Ferrari F1 rim, and repeat the same process in reverse to lock the new rim in place. Then simply turn the release mechanism until your current wheel comes away from the base. You have to unscrew the quick-release system that you’ll find at the back of your current wheel rim. To get started using this Ferrari F1 wheel rim, you have to do a little bit of work. Other formula style wheels such as those by Fanatec, despite costing a lot more do offer a much better level of finish. This plastic is limited to only a few areas, but they do remind you that this is very much just a replica wheel. However, that is quickly negated by the cheap plastic that is found across the top and back of the wheel. The face of the wheel itself is finished in a authentic brushed metal, which looks great, and elevates the quality of this wheel. I mean, if it was good enough for Alonso, it’s good enough for us. There are a couple, including the toggles at the bottom of the wheel which are just out of reach, but this is OK. The great news is, that all buttons and dials are quite easily in reach without having to take your hands off the wheel. In total all of the buttons add up to a total of 19 map-able inputs excluding the paddle shifters. Again, this is handy so you don’t require a mouse or a gamepad to control the menus.

There are also a couple of d-pad like analogue sticks which can be used to control menu inputs. These allow to adjust the car settings without taking your hands off the wheel, which is a crucial inclusion when travelling at speeds of up to 200mph. The working dials are the two thumb encoders. And these can be used to control engine modes among other programmable functions. There is a good selection of dials which do actually work. It would be great to see these working, but there are so many of them that to be honest, we would run out of things to actually program in! These are primarily included so that it matches its real world counterpart. Unfortunately, a lot of the dials on the front of the wheel are only for show including the large center dial. Compared to regular Thrustmaster wheels which generally include only the normal game pad buttons, this is a big step up. It offers Thrustmaster sim racers a wheel with a lot more buttons and options. Launched back in 2011, this steering wheel is relatively cheap for an add-on, coming in at only $170-$200. The classic Ferrari design is made entirely possible thanks to Thrustmaster and Ferrari’s partnership that has been on going for a few years. For us as life long Formula 1 fans, this is an extremely cool wheel add-on.
