I have had this rim for almost a year now (since i got my first wheel) and i 100% recommend it. I got mine second hand in good condition for about 100 gbp and it have done me very well
I’ve used this rim with the TS-PC base for a couple of years now, and it’s great. I usually use it only with open wheel and modern GT cars where I won’t have to do hand-over-hand steering, like you mention. The best feature of it definitely is the rocker switch that allows you to use one hand for shifting, if you need to do so. Great to have so many buttons as well. Great review! 👍🏼
Did same a few weeks ago but removed plate with fake dials... remove back cover careful as not much room for error as cable/wires has not much play! then one at a time unplug each button pull it through then plug back in over the top (keeps in correct place with no mistakes ) then the aluminium plate with the fake dials peels off (bit by bit and slowly to avoid bending it, I've heard hairdryer makes easy but mines old so came off very easily ) then carbon wrap over the plastic underneath (sounds daunting but if I can do it ha ha), I also removed ferrari "dial " in centre and replaced with Mercedes badge (from wheel hubcaps ..cheap from car wreckers and full size plastic logo) .......BUT..... I did end up putting plate back on as I made all my thrustmaster wheels "stock" again f1 rim ,open wheel rim, sparco rim had Holden badge in centre (v8 supercars), and on the ferrari rim (599xx)I have the gt3 rim on it from eBay I kept that on for ACC , but made all the rest stock again as it looks cleaner/more matching I guess ( I fiddle with em alot so I'm never happy ha ha)...
Ugh, remember it is compatible with newer TS-Servobases (TS-PC/TS-PC 488/TS-XW/T-GT) - 24 buttons - onegrip steering wheel. Quite old rim, but still my prefered. I have updated mine with also the 5 middle usable as the real wheel.
I have the t300 and am really considering the tm open wheel add-on or the f1 add-on. I love the f1 design and the additional buttons. As well as the rotary dials. But the plastic centre with the fake buttons are an enormous turn off for me. The tm open wheel looks sturdy, clean and i like that the bt-led part can be placed on top. Just seems to suit me better, but I’m still considering. Does anyone have any thoughts about the choices?
The ferrari wheel is mainly more expensive because of its ferrari branding and the better build quality. The tm wheel add on is probably just as good just a little thinner and the gear shifters are also different. If you can get both for the same price i would go for the ferrari wheel
Do you recommend using driving gloves as well? Does it help with grip? I mostly play trucking simulator games but love the feel of the F-1 wheel more than standard wheels.
I really want this wheel rim. I already have the Sparco P310, it's really good. I like it a lot, but I definitely want more buttons. The SF1000 looks a lot better, but I have only seen it going for $700+ USD, which I find ridiculous. As far as I know, TM will continue producing it into the coming years, I just hope that it goes for MSRP at some point in the near future. In the meantime, I'm struggling to decide whether I should buy this one or not. On the one side, it looks decent, on the other, I already have the Sparco one, so buying another one feels unnecesary.
If u really want it, I think you should go for it. You should definitely not spend the money for a brand new one, try to get a used one for cheap. I have both the f1 wheel add on, and the tm open wheel and my thoughts are that the f1 wheel looks cool3r and more buttons, but the tm open wheel doesn't look plastic. Both are solid, but I would say get th3 one which will cost u less l maybe around 100$/£. Then u can resell it again and upgrade to the sf1000 and also use it with the dd tm is releasing this year
Nice review. I just wish thrustmaster would actually sell the ts-pc racer gt rim seperatly. I do alot of gt style racing in iracing and from what i heard the quality of the f1 wheel is kinda bad as you said. The other option is real rim from ricmomod but they are really pricey :( .
You'd say its the only one available for the thrustmaster. Wouldn't the thurstmaster open wheel addon be an alternative? not as expensive and with that many buttons... but still pretty good looking!
@@RowdyTT Would you be able to explain us how exactly? Because with my G27, you have to use the D-pad and go through (iirc) up/down, -> x ERS mode you want, then down for maximum beans with fuel mode. It's a BITCH really
True! Hope it will be available in store soon. Dont want to drive with this Ferrari logo in my face all the time. The "new" open wheeler addon has also suede handgrips.
Thank you for calling out the fake rotary dials. I was going to buy it assuming they worked but now I know they’re fake. you save me a lot of money so thank you.
I recently got myself a t300 gte alcantara edition , the amount numbers on the set is not enough for me eventhough i am going to buy this wheel , i think i might build myself a button box too , thanks for the review .
I wish Thrustmaster would make this an upgraded version of this rim, with all the dials functional! They are the real disappointment with this rim and make it seem toy-like :S
I love this thing. I used to only have the 599 rim which i adore. But that is 33cm in diameter. The f1 rim is a bit smaller. I had no idea how much that would help in nasty situations. I was so much quicker to catch a spin that i started driving slicks in the wet just to see what i could do. XD (PC2 that is) Also, i think 3drap is just a bolt on solution. You do need to open up the wheel. but as far as i know you dont have to solder anything
meamjustme Yeah it is, I currently use the 599XX rim as well, and since I primarily play F1 games and open wheel cars I’m considering getting this wheel.
@@SN13K3R its a must have then. I use it for GT cars as well. Tried drifting just for fun. I did buy a used unit however. Not knowing if i would like it.
Hey mate, great content. I just installed my F1 Wheel Addon. In ACC the Wheel wasn't recognized automatically, although I updated the drivers. Did you ran into this problem also? I can assign everything manually, but not sure if that as good of an implementation as otherwise. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
I've run into a problem on ACC where some of the buttons (mainly the switches) can be assigned but they over write the two buttons on the wheel base, which I like to use for the ignition and starter. I'm finding the rim has a lot less programmable buttons than advertised as the encoders and hat switches act as one input on a lot of games.
If you’re still around, I have a question. If you were to pull the wheel to a 90 degree turn, and then let go, would it rush back to the centre and shake a lot, or would it stay at the 90 degree angle?
@@rubinvantuil3071 this is an *add-on*. All the wheel bases that are compatible with this have FFB. This does NOT come with a wheel base. As the title states it's an add-on
Hey. I really want to buy the ferrari f1 wheel. But i have problems with understand how the setup works. Do you only get the wheel? And what do i need to buy besides the wheel? I get that i need to but the pedals, but what about the case that is holding the wheel? I hope you will see this and can help me. Thanks in advance :D
@@randomcallsign Thanks for the answer. Yes i do understand that. My question was, what do you attach it too? I know that there is the t300. But I just can't find any other options than that.. is the t300 the only steering wheel that you can attach the f1 wheel to?
been using this rim for a few years now.... but once you move on to FANATEC this thing feels more like a toy... still for its price this is a VERY GOOD piece of kit. Still use it in my older rig.
just got this... i feel like i’ve lost some force feedback though?! can’t feel the road as much.. going to have a fiddle about with the settings i guess 🤦🏻♂️😂
Well having another wheel in your hands would alter the feel you get... Different matirials, density to them and the diameter through which the force goes. Larger wheel-> more leverage will always need a bit more force.
This wheel have very poor quality rubber grip, its sticky to touch and leaves residual on your palm after extended playing, I recommend the open wheel over this
i didnt understand where you said it has metal assembly?its plastic. it has a thin ally cover over the front and metal paddles but thats all. i stripped and modded mine so i know its all plastic throughout.sorry, great review otherwise.
Nice job on the review does this wheel help you drive into me faster ?
Absolutely
He only drives into you because he’s faster than you GM
@@chiledog9442 no then you overtake
Yeah man no matter what car you pick, it'll handle like an F1 car!
You’ll be more immersed and it gives you better grips and design for F1 so maybe

Nice review. Never seen a review on this rim before, so glad I saw this in my sub box.
* NOTE: Other rims have now become available, including the openwheel rim that was exclusive to the other base

- 24 buttons - onegrip steering wheel. Quite old rim, but still my prefered. I have updated mine with also the 5 middle usable as the real wheel.

1:49 Yeah thats just not a quickrelease mate
He said thrustmaster Jesus quick release is the ability to take off a wheel to put another one on
A fairly late review but I was on the fence between this and the 599evo rim. Might go for this one
I know, butthat's what happens when it's viewers subsidizing purchauses and not companies :D
Do you recommend using driving gloves as well? Does it help with grip? I mostly play trucking simulator games but love the feel of the F-1 wheel more than standard wheels.
I have bicycle gloves and its a good strong feel
Usually I use my "old" batting gloves and they're perfect
Trucking simulator with an F1 rim lol I respect it
@@huttonberries768 right lmaoo

1:37 can you use the rotators to change the ERS mode on F1 2019 for example ?
the rotors work as assignable buttons. if ERS modes can be assigned, then it can. If not, then it cannot.
