ThrustMaster Ferrari Challenge Racing Wheel

The low-cost solution from ThrustMaster cannot boast of excellent materials, but in terms of its functionality it does not lag behind older models.

Pedal block

The steering wheel is designed to connect to the Sony PlayStation 3 game console or a personal computer. The manipulator comes with a large and comfortable pedal set, on the belly of which there are anti-slip stops that securely fix it on any surface. The brake pedal has a progressive resistance and responds to all the actions of the driver in much the same way as it would in a real traffic situation.

Steering speaker

The steering block is mounted on the surface of the table. It should be noted that the diameter of the steering wheel is only 20.5 cm, so it may seem somewhat uncomfortable for owners of large hands. But drivers with small hands (for example, children) will like everything, including 11 control buttons thoughtfully distributed over the body of the manipulator, duplicating the functions of a gamepad.

Resistance intensity

Immersion in the race is achieved thanks to the power steering resistance mechanism, the advantage of which is the ability to adjust the intensity of feedback depending on the behavior of the virtual car on the road. In the high sensitivity mode, the bright red indicator of the device’s operation begins to catch the eye too much, because. it stops just glowing and goes on blinking. When the power is turned off, the memory of the set level of rudder resistance intensity is not saved.

Orientation

The manipulator is aimed at children, novice riders and those who want to save a lot on buying a steering wheel for virtual trips. A more complete immersion in the gameplay is achieved with older models of steering manipulators.
