  • @Manaphyish if you buy the clubsport edition for 500, then yes

  • Is this compatible with the ps3?

  • @nbomb000 yes ps3 and pc

  • Hi, bought the same wheel yesterday. Im playing f1 2010 on my pc and i feel like the wheel is a bit heavy. On the wheel settings i have ff at 100 and dri at 2 it feels better, but when have dri at 5 the wheel turns of itself, is this normal?

  • thank you simracingtonight!!! you have really helped me which wheel i want!!! thank you :-)

  • does the wheel support non-racing games( like truck games or driving simulator)?

  • My only question, can you put the gear stick on the left?

  • Can you use the Clubsport pedals with a G27 on the PS3?

  • Hey SRT!

    I was wondering if you can rate this wheel on a 1-10 scale.

    Is it worth buying for an newbie level like me?

    Please respond, wal3290

  • its $160...

  • I can't decide between the Porsche 911 Carrera Wheel or The Driving Force GT

    Can anyone help me decide which is the better one?

  • @isaac000016 i cant decide either

    

  • Hello insidesimracingtonight team.

    I love your reviews.Can you help what racing wheel should I buy?

    The Logitech g27 racing wheel or the Fanatec Porsche 911 Carrera wheel?

  • Do i have to buy the thing that sticks it to the table too? Or does it come with?

  • its not that loud the wheel its may seem like its annoying but its not tht bad u ignore it

  • how do you know which buttons are which and are there any mods for this wheel?

  • @killoradorider9 They light up when it's plugged in on the final production. At least on the other Fanatec wheels they do. :/

  • @killoradorider9 I just checked a review someone else did, and they do not light up.

  • I want to buy wheel and i want to know whats diffrent when wheel can turn 270 degrees and when wheel can turn 900 degrees? I need wheel which is good with good price, with wheel shifting pedals, with acceleration and brake pedals and for Formula-1 2010 game can you tell me the wheel name which have these requirments?

  • I want to buy wheel and i want to know hats diffrent when wheel can turn 270 degrees and when wheel can turn 900 degrees? I need wheel which be good with good price, with wheel shifting pedals, with acceleration and brake pedals and for Formula-1 2010 game can you tell me the wheel which have these requirments name?

  • can you use it for a table ?

    i heard you need to buy a 40$ table clamb

  • @Xzibitfreek 10:30 it has a clamp :)

  • Could you change the brake with the clutch pedal? because i want too drive with two feet in my f1 car !

  • is it beter this or g25/g27??

  • should i get this wheel or the thrustmaster f430

  • @hiby555

    The Thrustmaster is cheaper but this wheel is beyond superior to the thrustmaster.

  • 24:21.... Sean....Lol, take it easy man, that was some super intense driving :D

  • this thing has a shifter for that price this wheel is a steel

  • anywhere is buy this wheel? I only see the more expensive turbo wheel. this price point would be perfect for me

  • i wanna buy the 911 carrera wheel for my ps3 but i cant find it on their website? where else can you get it from?

  • ordering Clubsport pedals right now!

  • does the clubsport pedals work with a g25 or g27 on ps3? please reply

  • 24:19 naughty word said :P

  • Comment removed

  • I cant find it either. Can anyone tell me where can i buy this wheel from? i tried the fanatec web site and couldnt find it there.

  • They postponed the release.. should be coming this year 2010.

  • @simracingtonight ok thanks

  • @Arsenal12195 did you find this wheel ? I'am unable to get this product anywhere.

    The Porsche 911 is available in canada for 200 dollars but is not available in europe. Come on the manufacturer is german and they are unable to deliver in europe. Really thinking about getting a thrustmaster or Logitech G25 for about 190 euro anyway, knowing I would prefer the fanatec..

  • Man this dude on the right is HAMMERED! Do you see his eyes?

  • SHaun cracked me up at the very end when he was racing.

  • i´m dissapointed with fanatec staff.

    Is impossible to contact with them.

    They completely ignore the buyer.

    Caution, keep in mind.

  • thanks for the advise, but since you sound like you know so much about them, then I am wondering if you can tell me if they ship their products to Malaysia, because I can't seem to find any retailer here or any Malaysian store at fanatec's website.

  • come on a 99 in cost. pointless but funny as hell!

  • omg, the g25 just got a price drop from 350euros to 169!!! (in mediamarkt, a local store) : )

    its getting hard to wait for the carrera wheel..

  • so when exactly is the wheel coming out(i live in australia)

  • Are there any 911 turbo s clubsport wheels left or are they sold out?

  • i just ordered 911 turbo s wheel. damm its sold out i have to wait till november. i really need to play forza 3 with good wheel. im glad fanatec wheel has 2 year warranty. porsche carrera wheel suck!!! go for high end 911 turbo wheel !!!!

  • can this be used on the xbox 360 and ps3

  • PS3 and PC when it comes out

  • @simracingtonight Do i have to buy the thing that sticks it to the table too? Or does it come with?

  • @shortykev123

    ps3 only

  • That carrera wheel seems to be the best budget wheel since it only costs 130$. Compare it with the Driving Force GT wich costs 150$ and it does not include clutch or a H shifter

  • Could someone link me to the Fanatec stand review they were talking about?

  • over all the g25 is built better

  • Y O U A R E  S T U P I D ?

  • first of all i was talking about steering wheels for gaming consoles. Second, do you think an f1 racer has the time or space to use a stick shift.

  • I just have the MS Wireless Wheel and it looks a lot better...it might not actually BE better but those pedals look hugely ugly imo... Plus the MS Wheel has paddle shifters which are 10x better than a shifter. The only thing Fanatec wheels have that are better would be that they can spin...900 degrees ??

  • this is is for people who enjoy simulation... paddle shifters are so gay and cheap

  • that's why F1 cars use them right..cause they're "gay and cheap"

  • when it comes out will still be at this price point

  • I want to ask you guys, because i saw in the official website it had these new wheel but the back of the wheel is orange. This is the final wheel right? because i think darin said this shifter does not have sequential only h-pattern. I'm asking you if you could make a new review of this wheel. tnx

  • Will these work with Nascar Racing 2003 season?

  • Yes when it comes out.. This wheel should make it out by year end.

  • which in your opinion is better. Fanatec porsche 911 wheel or Logitech g25.

  • I prefer the GT3 RS or the 911 Turbo S over the G25. If the 911 Turbo was wired, i would prefer it over a G25.

    Darin

  • great thanks :) i have heard you mention race driver grid in your videos but just 2 query is the clutch and h pattern shifter compatible with the lgitech g25. thanks again :)

  • How about the pedals? They will work with it too?

  • lol cole at the end driving some rally game " AW SHIT" pure gold

  • Does the shifter come with the wheel? And it's only US$130!!!!

    I can't wait!!!

  • Could you tell me where I could buy this wheel from? I live in England and I was looking at the Thrustmaster F430 ferrari wheel, but then I saw this and liked the fact that it had a gear stick. Don't get me wrong, I love the G25 but it's out of my price range. i guess I'm hoping that this will be cheaper

    Thnx

  • It's been delayed until later this year.

  • Could you give a indication of when it official will been released?

    (exact date? fanatec won't answer my questions)

    Thank you in faithfully

  • which wheel is better the carrera wheel or the logitech g25?

  • They are both similar.. If i had to settle on one, it would be G25. I like the pedals better

    Darin

  • . copy and paste

    2. send this to 2 other videos.

    3. hold your breath

    4.press refresh twice

    5.LOOK AT YOUR HANDS

  • baby

  • you know what i see? i see BULLSHIT!!!

  • IN YOUR HANDS? OMG!!!!!

  • does the carrera wheel work with NFSPS?

  • what do you guys think about the konig gaming steering wheel?

  • We've never tried one. We'll see about getting our hands on one to check out.

  • when you review the pedals later please elaborate the differences between these, G25 pedals and those expensive CST stuff. I have a G25 and I am ok with the wheel but the pedals could be better. Sorry for making silly jokes about your safety ratings in after previous episodes btw hehe

  • im buying it when its coming out

  • The price has gone up one hell of a lot I was about to go get my credit card but now they want over $300!

  • wrong wheel. This wheel's production has been postponed. It should hopefully be out later this year. It's quiet a wheel for the price.

  • Wow that's awesome! I absolutely cannot wait!

  • guys the price went up

  • I don't even see this wheel for sale on the insidesimracing site or fanatec's own. Major Bummer as I am just getting into PC racing (been playing GT since it came out, and did some forza online but never had a wheel.) What is the next best 3-pedal entry-level wheel set? BTW everyone at SRT, your show is awesome, super informative and your reviews aren't an ass-kissing fest. You guys and girls are looking out for us.

  • Where can I preorder this?

  • If you go to our site in the description.. insidesimracing tv. GO to our store and you can order it there.

  • I looked but couldn't find teh Carrera Wheel anywhere

  • Hi again!

    Just wondering if you could tell me when the Fanatec GT3 RS wheel will be avalible? And will it connect to my logictec g25 pedals, currently running on a PS3?

    Thanks guys!

  • Hi guys!

    love the show just wondering if you could recomend an after market manual shifter for my logitec G25 and also one that looks sweet!!!

    Thanks.

  • Sim Gear SST Lightning. We have them on sale at our insidesimracing tv site. $5 off through the end of March

  • Sweet reviews, very well explained. But i will stay with my G25 because of its potential for modifications and because of the metal parts. :)

    But the pedals you have reviewed are very sweet. :) Keep on the good work.

  • heard this wheel and clubsport pedals have been put back due to technical issues.

  • Where did you hear that ?

  • a few american friends have the clubsport pedals on order and they have said they got an email from fanatec saying the date has been put back a month and 2 months for the carrera wheel? could you please ask THOMAS if this is true because i am waiting for the carrera wheel. i,m not sure if there pulling my leg. but as it,s a new product anything is possible.

  • Comment removed

  • I think i will order the Clubsport Pedals.But there is one thing without i can't make a final descision.

    Mr. Cole or Mr. Gangi, does one of you know if the rumble-motor on the Brake will work with other Wheels like the G25 too or will it work only with Fanatec Wheels? I read that it will be able to use it with other Pedals but nothing about the Rumble...

  • - Quertr - The brake will work with any wheel as far as I know.. It will be a plug in specific for it regardless of the wheel you use.. It plugs into a USB port

  • very nice. THX that was fast :-)

  • The noise when Shawn's cranking that wheel is a bit scary and makes me wonder about durability ... and comfort while drving it is WAY too loud. Also the gas pedal looks very very soft is that so?

  • Gas pedal is very soft, you get used to it. The brake is very nice though at this price point.

  • How do these pedals (the ones that come w/ the carrera wheel) compare to the Thrustmaster RGT Pro Clutch edition? those are metal and LOOK a lot stronger and more solid.

  • They are actually very similar in build quality. I would take either set. The only thing that is metal on the thrustmaster set, is the pedals. Almost everything else is plastic

  • Definitely tuning in later if you do a GT3RS review!

    I've been out of the loop.. used to have a Logitech Red Momo back in the day, like many others, the noise was not too bad actually, I think it would be OK for late night driving.

    Carrera wheel? Hmm, I don't think so xD

    You guys going to do any reviews of Non-FFB wheels BTW, are there any good and affordable on the market?

    Maybe if you can get hold of a Red Momo still in good condition you can include it in some noise comparison for reference?

  • We can try.. we do have a DFp here and they are VERY noisy !! We will be getting a TSW in to review soon as well as a brake set from them. TSW has the only good affordable non FFB wheel on the market. ECCi also makes one for close to $1000

  • Oh and we'll be reviewing the GT3 very soon !!

  • Oh and I'm really looking forward to the GT3 review and seeing more of those sweet pedals.

    And when Shaun was driving RBR with the Carrera that was the best noise test I've seen!

    Please do that with the GT3 too!

  • TSW looks nice, but I'm in Sweden so lucky me gets to add 25% VAT :( also shipping won't be cheap, any eventual warranty service... well it's less attractive in my case but still good to know about!

    The red "Logitech MOMO Force" from 2001 was wire rope (steel cable) driven. I hope these new gear + belt driven wheels like F430 and GT3 are quiet enough.

    There's apparently lots of guys out there with DFPs so it might be worth including if you ever do a noise comparison with many wheels.

  • Hey guys. Thanks for briefly showing your DIY setup for the 6-speed shifter, I would like to see a little more in depth about that.

    Something that I was thinking about for making the gas pedal more stiff: Place a sponge under the gas pedal, hmm. I don't have one, so I don't know how it would work.

    Thanks for the cool review. This is a must have at $130

  • I'll put in on one of the next shows.. Basically what I did was take an L bracket and used wood screws to attach it.. I screwed right into the area where the rods go in..The L Bracket has holes in it that allow me to mount it to anything really.

  • So I guess the carrera wheel does not work on the 360, only the turbo s wheel. Would have been great if the carrera wheel worked at the price of $130 bucks since the turbo s wheel is twice has much. Well i guess it makes for an easy decision for what wheel to get for the 360, the microsoft wheel or the turbo s wheel since it seems almost every works on the ps3.

  • Thank You!

    That was very enjoying to watch. I was driven by emotions all the time, just like back the times when I had Lego catalogue in my hands while six years old or smth. Damn, I've just realized that I'm quite crazy - I'm about to buy things that will cost my whole salary, and I've lost job last month, but hell - It's better to be a happy psycho, than watching it all pass by. All that "second thoughts" are gone at last.

    Thanks again.

  • wat rally game do u play ???

  • richard burns rally

    i think....

  • We race Richard Burns Rally with the RSR 09 plug in

  • please help i,m just getting into sim racing. could you please tell me what spec my laptop needs to be to play R FACTOR and LFS thank,s guy,s.

  • you need laptop with normal gfx card, around gf 8800gs/gt to play online with 30 players

  • Comment removed

  • i have both rfactor and lfs. and both dont need a great pc specs. i have also gtr evo and gt legends that need a bit more power when u play online with more then 20 different cars , especially at night.

    however a normal nvidia or ati notebook card shoul handle those 2 games well :)

  • Hey what should I get for 360? I heard they were making a wheel for it, but it's supposed to be really expensive. Am I just gonna have to get the MS Wheel and hope it doesn't break, or is there another option?

  • fanatecs porsche turbo wheel! also with a 6-speed shifter an a clutch

  • Where is the Turbo S review? I want a multi-platform wheel fellas! :)

  • Our Turbo review will be the same.. Its essentially the same wheel and it works ont he 360.. Works awesome I may add !!!!

  • Now a wheel that works on PC and XBox360 :)

  • IT'S ABOUT TIME!

  • Thanks for the reply, you guys are pretty cool, I like muchly.

    Please to be putting the review up SOON :)

    (I can't believe it's a 10,000 limited run - ARGH!)

  • 900 degree wheel, 6 speed shifter, and a clutch for $130?

    Good thing I didn't buy that logitech PS3 wheel.

  • I want a wheel around 100 -150 dollars but I can't decide between the logitech driving force gt or the fanatec carrera wheel. I game mostly on my PS3 and sometimes on the PC. Which one should I get?

  • if you need the clutch=> fanatec

    but you are a ps3 gamer and only gt5 supports the clutch....

    anyway for the fanatec you still have to wait a long time..

  • "ahh SHIT!" Nice one Shaun

    LOL

  • Hey darin & Shan, thanks so much for this review. I was beginning to think that noone was going to be able to produce a decent, cheap, mass market rival to the G25, and now this! I check out Fantec's Gameshop to look at the GT3 RS wheel - OH MY GOD! That thing is gorgeous, I WILL be getting one of those! Only trouble is, given how shit the GBP (£) is atm, 430 Euros for the wheel, shifters and those awesome Clubsport pedals is alot of money... Oh well, i'll save!

    Thanks again guys!

    Chuck

  • Comment removed

  • Where did you get those numbers? It's only €289 for the wheel+Clubsport bundle, and another €50 for the shifter.

  • Dude, you just made my day! THANKYOU! (didn't spot the clubsport bundle ;))

  • The episode is awesome tecnically speaking, but if there is one thing that can be improved, that is your body language.

    Watch how some professional presenter move himself on tv. You notice a bigdifference between your movements and his movements.

    If you want to improve that aspect (that does influence a lot your personal life too) you should read some books about body language. Personally i have found the ones written by Allan and Barbara Pease very usefull. Search on google about them =)

  • Thanks for the critique.. We're just a couple of sim racers though.. As long as you liked it technically, we're happy !! :-)

  • Well, if there is a way for cutting this last tenth off the laptime, if there is way for improvement, a sim racer should always go for it. Would be a shame not doing it =D

    Especially looking at the efforts you have done on all the other aspects of the program ;)

    Anyway obviously is up to you =)

    Good job anyway!

  • shut up you idiot.these guy,s come across as real guy,s who are giving there real opinion.we don,t want some suit with a false opinion who is paid to look good.and has a false body language to sell us products.

  • This is really interesting to watch! Especially when I'm at work right now. haha cool video hope you make more in the future

  • THanks for the spam

  • Since you guys have all three.....I would like to hear your thoughts (Pro's / Con's) on the H-pattern shifters (Fanatec, G25 and Lightning SST).

  • SST doesn't compare to the G25 or Fanatec shifters. SST is a high end shifter and is awesome !. The other two are add ons to the package. They both have pros and cons (G25 and Fanatec) and do the job decently.

  • the reason i like watching these guys do stuff,is the fact that they love what they are doing they have a real passion for sim-racing,and they tell it like it is.nice review guys.

  • Thanks !

  • great review. Darin I want to know what is sis specs of yours laptop. thank you.

  • Thanks ! It's an Intel Dual core 2.2 ghz, Nvidia 8600 GTS graphics card and 2 gigs of ram.

  • Am I right if I say this wheel beats the crap out of it's competition in it's price rate?

    So Logitech DF GT

    Thrustmaster F430 FFB wheel

    I guess those two wheels are the competition because of the price rate :).

  • Yes they are.. We'll be doing a direct comparison soon ! :)

  • whats the gt3rs?

  • A new wheel by Fanatec with Alcantara leather. Other than that it's the same as the 911 Turbo I think, except it doesn't have wireless and some other functions.

    The GT3 RS comes in a VERY nice bundle with the Clubsport pedals for €290!

  • Great review guys, seems like it makes the 911 turbo a tad pointless at that price point

    .

  • Hey Likestig, Ive been racing sim for around 4-5 years, My first wheel was a Logitech Driving Force EX, Was quite cheapy feel, Then upgraded to a Logitech DF Pro, £69.99, I use this for PC and PS3 and its 3-4 year old now and still going strong, If you can afford it go with the G25 for sure, Otherwise the DFP does its job very well, £69.99 and I bet you I can drive just as good as these people with £300 pedals, and its nice to use too, if you want clutch then deffo G25. I wish I had one !

  • Hey SRT, I've been racing karts for some time now and been doing Sim Racing for about 2 years and am still using a MOMO (Black) and it work perfect just like two years ago. IN this time I've built a pod and am now ready to buy a new wheel. Whats the best out there below $350. I really dont want to spend alot, but the G25 looks great. Help Please?

  • hey i race karts to and i use a g25 and it works great its worth it to spend 300 for it

  • Hey what should I get for 360? I heard they were making a wheel for it, but it's supposed to be really expensive. Am I just gonna have to get the MS Wheel and hope it doesn't break, or is there another option?

  • You should explain more what the FF on brake pedal do exactly and how it feels, filming it in action =)

  • We don't have the plug in or driver for that function yet. A full review of those pedals will come with the GT3 RS wheel. so far.. I love them !! Starting to get them dialed in.

    Darin

  • yeah I think I'll be waiting for this one 2... so many features and a very good price.

  • Just watching the video I want to stop turning the wheel. It's so loud.

  • Another great review. The noise of the wheel reminds me of my old momo. But its a great alternative for those who cant afford the 911 turbo wheel or a g25. It has all the feature a a g25 or a 911 turbo has. The non-existant of a deadzone is interesting.

  • Only the Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel works for the 360!

  • do either of the wheels that you mentioned work on the xbox360?

  • Dialga - no.. We have a 911 Turbo S here that we're checking out and it works with the PC, XBox 360 and PS3

  • ok im going to get that one

  • Lucky for some eh ? Sim Racing is my passion but theres no way in the world id pay over £150 for afull package never mind a set of pedals, The G25 is about as far as id go, and who has the sort of money for these pedals anyway. Its all getting abit silly by the looks of things. All good and well for those who can afford them !

  • if it is your passion then money should be no problem to get the best tech.i,ve only just started sim racing and i got myself a DFGT but i,ve also placed order of a fanatec carrera wheel coz of clutch and 6 shifter and for both they are still cheaper than a g25.i,ve had alot of hobbies and trust me this is the cheapest.also 150 pounds for those pedals are cheap.

  • Yes I bet you my life its my passion, Why would I say its my passion if its not ? Like I said before, Yes if I or anyone else for that matter had this sort of money to waste on a set of pedals then id have them, and like I keep saying if people can afford them then good luck to them, In the meantime I have children to feed and to provide for, I notice people dissagree with what I said, Your telling me youd leave them hungry and without clothes to buy a gaming wheel/pedals ?

  • your right coz you have kid,s but i,m also right because i don,t.

  • £150 can buy alot of things so like ill keep on saying, If people have LOTS of money then its all good, That was my point, Ive been after a G25 for over 2 year now and im still stuck with my ever so reliable DF Pro ! I never have this sort of money to spend on a set of pedals that do exactly the same as any other, Is these vids purely for rich people who can afford all this yeah ! if so Im sorry im in the wrong place !

  • dude it took me 2 months to save 250 pounds for a wheel.i got the DFGT for 80 pounds from curry,s.also ordered the carrera wheel for 130pounds i get both for the price of one g25. those clubsport pedals will be better than any other over the counter pedals ?

  • Listen these guys do a smashing job in reviewing these wheels, I love watching there vids, That said I just really dont believe you need pedals of this expense for what you want them to do, I think its ridiculous pricing, To me it seems as tho people are looking for luxuries and not performance, Yes the may perform good but how much better if any is a mystery for the time being, sorry for not saying the Porsche wheel looks a good price ! I agree with you on that front m8. Nice Reviews SRT

  • Hello i am a big fan of the show, and i want to ask you something. If i have the Porsche 911 Turbo S wheel can i use these pedals with it. Thanks.

  • t3m - Yes These pedals are supposed to work with the Turbo S

  • Excellent! :) These pedals look awesome.

    I know you've reviewed the G25 with the Nixim mod previously. How does the brake pedal on the Clubsports compare, in terms of braking pressure and range of travel?

    Thanks!

  • If you ask me, I think the ClubSport pedals are superior to any pedal bundled with any wheel in that "normal" price range. They look robust and massive plus with the magnetic sensors it'll hardly go ever wrong.

    Even better offer will be the GT3RS wheel which comes with the ClubSport pedals as standard altough it lacks the 6speed H-shift.

  • What is the name of the song in the background 21.30/24.56? Keep up the good work! :)
