I don’t understand why they have less buttons on the face than the 911 wheel? I mean, why? The 911 has 8 and this looks like it has 4.

I wonder if a pure racing version will ever come out. That is without that plasticky thing in the center, but something that looks like a 997 Cup OMP wheel… plus a button plate.

Manuals are not available yet, you can use the Porsche Turbo Wheel manual for the time being since the wheels are almost identical.
