    Thank you for being honest and having some integrity. Literally no one else talked about the shifters not being magnetic and the cheap thumb encoders. Everybody is praising the wheel. You also seem to be one of the few, who doesn't have an affiliate link, which explains a lot.

    It's a flagship "Hey, look at what we can do" wheel and wont be their top seller. People who buy it will buy it because it is a one to one and they LOVE Lambos. I think it's a beautiful wheel and while its a great looking replica of a real wheel... The lack of backlighting in todays market is a no for me. I race a lot at night and in the dark. Back lighting is essential

    Few issues with this replica in my opinion:
    It is rather Unpractical on most cars
    It is of a relatively unknown and very rare car so people don’t buy it because they see it Sundays on the race track
    You cannot find the car in any major sims unlike the McLaren GT3 and GT4, the BMW GT3 and GT4 and even the Bentley GT3 that is represented in ACC
    Replicas are always a balance between practicality and realism but it is very beneficial for that to pick a car that is represented in both the sim and real world a lot so people actually have a relationship to the history of the wheel. If your favourite driver is Rossi for example you’re more likely to buy the fanatec BMW GT3 wheel whereas if it’s James Baldwin you might buy one of the many McLaren wheel replicas. Anyways TLDR it isn’t the product itself it is the car that they chose to replicate from that’s the issue.

    Naw i think all brands need high end wheels like this. Happy to see it but moza needs to uograde some components if they are going to charge 1300 like the damn shifters are just not good to me.
    Then you hsve people like that gt7 player whats his name he has that green logo for his channel and talks about fanatec all the time and covers all of tgat stuff. Yeah him he didnt talk about one thing being not good on it and its horrible he isnt doing so because there are a good bit of comprimises on this wheel for the price. Like in a pretty bad way.

  • @Nick_Kearney
    @Nick_Kearney 2 часа назад +3

    I don't mind spending that type of money on a high end wheel. But I've yet to buy any of these high end replica or FIA Homologated wheels. I'm much more interested in wheels like GSI Hyper P1 with amazing functionality for that kind of price.

  • @Gizfreek
    @Gizfreek 4 часа назад +6

    No magnetic shifters and no clutch paddles for 1300€? Saying it's a replica is one kind to justify it's lack of features but in a very competitive segment for high end wheels I don't think many would go for this if they are not ones who adore Lamborghini or simply want to stay in the Moza ecosystem without any 3rd party wheels.

    Different marketed target audience, different needs and wants. There should be a shift in feature priorities when making a sim wheel, even if it may differ in terms of aesthetics from what the wheel is based on.

    After getting the FSR and their poor support for their underwhelming dashes, never again, MOZA. They have basically ignored their customers who invested into the FSR wheel.
    They also made way too many concessions on this wheel and if the screen still doesn’t work with simHUB by now, it’s not worth the price.

  • @Dasspapirfly
    @Dasspapirfly 2 часа назад +1

    Looks kinda neat but not a layout I would be interested in using, not to mention that AFAIK you need to buy a special hub to run Moza wheels on 3rd party wheelbases and then I'd much rather have something that works natively with my system.

    • @marcushillerstrom25

    If there’s any way to get this working on a Fanatec wheelbase with a QR2, and the screen/telemetry/touch works, then I’m sold.
    I’ve always loved Squadra Corse, and I’ll do anything to get this working cross platform

      @@ParrotTheBird well I can't justify the price for this wheel as a sim wheel due to its other flaws. It lacks buttons, encoders, funky switches, double-clutch. And it's too heavy. So I think it's useless as a simracing wheel. Besides, making a replica of the wheel of the car that you can't actually drive in any sim - well it clearly is just a marketing move. The car isn't even a racing car but a track-day car for a bunch of wealthy dudes.
