The Fanatec budget wheel will cost 130 EUR according to their website, which is quite a bit more than ~80 for the F430. Also, according to current estimates it will take three months before the Fanatec wheel is out.

The Carrera Wheel is listed for 129 Euros so it’s a little more of a difference.

I couldn’t imagine anyone buying this when you can get the new budget 911 (130 US, 102 EUR) for not much more money. Way more features and SRT says it’s the absolute best bang for the buck on the market.

Jux, the position of the levers is fine.

The wheel has an ergonomic shape to place your hand on and from there, you can easily reach the levers with your fingers.

Nice wheel but cheap-looking pedals.

Nice review! Hopefully the product will be a success for Thrustmaster, as Logitech sure needs some quality competition.

What do you think of the shifing levers? Based on the pictures they seem to be placed quite high, and I wonder whether it would feel comfortable using them with middle fingers like I’m used to doing with other wheels.
