The Thrustmaster TM Open Wheel Add-On is a 28cm diameter detachable steering wheel designed for Formula, GT, and Prototype racing simulation.
Engineered for high-torque Force Feedback environments, the wheel features a brushed black aluminum faceplate and hand-stitched suede grips. This lightweight construction (weighing less than 2 lbs / 900g) reduces rotational inertia to maximize the transmission of Force Feedback effects from the motor to the driver's hands. The wheel utilizes the Thrustmaster Quick Release system for compatibility across the entire T-Series ecosystem.
