Many young men have dreams of becoming Formula1 drivers, including yours truly, but 99.9999% of us will never see that dream come true. However, thanks to the advancements in the gaming industry, we can pretend to be superstars in the comfort of our living rooms playing racing games; now we can make that racing experience even more authentic with the Thrustmaster F1 Steering Wheel. The F1 steering wheel is based on the Ferrari F150th Italia F1 racing car’s steering wheel, the same cars driven by Fernando Alonso and Filipe Massa.
The Thrustmaster F1 Steering Wheel replica is an add-on to the T500 RS and is detachable with a quick release function. The wheel works with PC and Sony PS3 racing games and just like the real F1 steering wheel, this one comes with lots of buttons and knobs that are used to adjust car settings; it even comes with F1-style scratched-brushed metal “Push & Pull” paddle shifters.
The Thrustmaster Ferrari F150th Italia Steering Wheel replica will be shipped out in early October and will be priced at $199.99, which is pretty cheap compared to the real F1 steering wheels that cost around $50,000. However, you will need the T500 RS, which already comes with a steering wheel and pedals, for a price of $599.
