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! 👍🏼
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
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.
@@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
Biggest issue is the thin diameter hand grips. The wheel feels and looks like a toy. I know it's fairly cheap but for an extra $50 USD the Fanatec ClubSport F1 wheel and is light years ahead in quality and looks.
@@randomcallsign even tho can it work with a logitech base? im saudi and its about 1100 riyals and i want some confirmation before i buy and blowing 1100 saudi riyals
Since when does Thrustmaster have good value? They make overpriced plastic products with technology from twenty years ago. Others like Fanatec, Moza, Asetek and even Logitech make better products.
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
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)...
Does the setup for the wheel work good (the automatic setup) for f1 2018??? Btw pls like my comment then unlike it an hour later so get notified And what base so you need
@@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
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
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.
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.
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!
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 :( .
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?
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
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.
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.
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

Actually just bought one of these and I'm pretty excited.
how do you like it?
Very solid review. Seems like a sweet spot for f1 or gt simracing.
No problem reaching the D-pad while not looking. Sometimes, when using gloves, I hit the rotary on accident.
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

Nice vid, I might get this for an upgrade
Also, the TS-PC rim does not completely work with another base. I read that it works on PC, but console it wont recognise.
Great review! Thanks

Tom Lambert random question since I can’t find it anywhere but if I get a tmx pro for xbox can I still use the add on wheels like this?
Thank you very much for this review... what do you mean with the "advance mode"? also someone know if all the buttons can be mapped on ps4?
yes they can be i just got this wheel and i use it mainly for f1 2020 and i was able to map each button for different things
@@forzaferrari1655 you can map all the buttons in advanced mode or in normal mode?
@@oliese advanced mode is not available for ps4, so the two dials and dpads do the same job in normal mode
@@forzaferrari1655 So no point buying it for f1 on ps4 in my case, thanks for answering
@@oliese it still works well for me because you still have 8 other buttons. it’s better than the thrustmater t300rs in my opinion
Will this work with the tgt??
So hard get fantec csl elite now only ebay and still expensive
Hi does this fit the Ferrari 458
Great review
Only fits the bases I've mentioned in the video
this wheel can be fitted to the xbox version of the 458 spider ????
Buy a fanatec wheel they are more expensive but much better build.
Hmmmm
Is it easier to drive with than it is with a circle steering wheel
Compatible with T80?
logitech g29 wheel got more functional button than this? wth
Biggest issue is the thin diameter hand grips. The wheel feels and looks like a toy. I know it's fairly cheap but for an extra $50 USD the Fanatec ClubSport F1 wheel and is light years ahead in quality and looks.
It’s on a thrustmaster base, dipshit
Is this compatible on a g29 base 🤔
can i also play FORZA with a F1 Wheel?
What base do i need for this wheel for ps4. Thanks
Ciao! Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On è compatibile con Thrustmaster tgt? Grazie
yes

Can I use it with the rwa steering wheel
What's the name of the base
*Cool, but does it touge?!*
Do you get the pedals with it ?
This is just the rim. No pedals, no base.
Can I ask I can u drive with it without pedals
no
Does it come with the thin got attach it on to

Does it work on ps4?
it does
@@randomcallsignokay thanks
Can I use my t150 base too for this wheel?
No you can't
Have it got pedals?
Yes
Since when are steering wheels referred to as rims?
Well, the "steering wheel" causes confusion as it normally refers to the whole package. Hence there is a differentiation between "base" and "rim".
Can you give me a list of pedals you can use with it
This is an add on steering wheel.
Does this work on the TMX base?
No
Is this compatible with the tmx?
No
Can you use it om the thrustmaster t150
No
Between this one and the thrustmaster open wheel one, which would would be better?
is it compatible with T80?
it isnt
Can you place this one on a logitech mod? Thanks
No lol

0:16 you’re just stationary XD
Yes
1:49 Yeah thats just not a quickrelease mate

Does the setup for the wheel work good (the automatic setup) for f1 2018???
Btw pls like my comment then unlike it an hour later so get notified

* NOTE: Other rims have now become available, including the openwheel rim that was exclusive to the other base
