A review of the Thrustmaster T818 Ferrari SF1000 racing wheel and wheel base, plus the T-LCM load cell pedals - is this…
, it's hardly in impulse buy territory, but if you want a high-end direct drive wheel for playing the Formula 1 games and other PC racing titles, this certainly fits the bill. After several weeks of testing the wheel, base and Thrustmaster's T-LCM pedals, I've got to say I'm impressed - but before committing to a purchase of this magnitude you should know what you're getting yourself into.
Despite being a PC-focused peripheral though, you'll find no helpful simplified icons or numbered labels on each of the 25 buttons - just proper accurate descriptions like DRINK or RADIO. That's great for immersion and style, but perhaps not ideal when F1 23 prompts you to press button 15 and you've got to work out which one is button 15 by pressing them all in sequence. Similarly, the 4.
The display can be handy to reference when you have a moment on the straights - although the LEDs at the top and sides of the wheel that indicate your revs and course conditions are more consistently useful throughout the course of a lap. You can adjust the display through turning some of the lower knobs too, with an almost overwhelming range of information and different presentation styles available.
