    Judging from the garage number its probably an Xbox 360 wheel for forza horizon

    I was thinking exactly the same thing, don’t think there’s any racetracks that have 360+ pitboxes :-)

    Partnership between SimBin and Thrustmaster for GTR3

    a new price @ $360 would be a good thing right now a bit too expensive!

    TM is the official GT5 wheel and Sony is known for not letting their official wheel partner another console.

    Xbox 360 Wheel from Thrustmaster? GREAT NEWS, hope it is true and I can buy one at my local game store.
    BTW I was so pissed about Forza 4 because of the Xbox Live Gold and the stupid Fanatec does sell products to my country, and I wont buy product like this without easy and effective after sales service. Hope everything will change as Thrustmaster make a Xbox 360 wheel.

    A 360° wheel? Not sure if making an xbox compatible wheels would be deserving of such suspense.

    Whatever it is it is using Ferrari badges.

    Partnerships end, just ask Logitech & Sony
    Besides, Thustmaster currently stock a 360 wheel right now, it just doesn’t have any FFB

    definitely something 360.

    BUT WE NEED MORE WHEEL FOR T500!

  • jswarthoff

    t500 needs moving flappy’s.

    A servo motor based FFB wheel or hydraulic pedal set with an attachment to replicate the feel of “Caliper Pods, Brake Rotor and Pipe Expansion”.

    The first one has been done- Leo Bodnar’s doing it although it’s not available commercially. The second- Frex has SimCaliper (to go with its HydroBRAKE) but again not something you can buy at your local big box store.

    If it’s never been seen that would have to eliminate anything 360 since there has been at least 4 different FFB wheels for the xbox- MS Wireless Wheel, Fanatec Turbo S, GT2 and the CSR Elite.

    I don’t own forza, so i would like to ask, does forza have pits, does forza even sound like what we are hearing in this video, it could be Simbin & Thrust master at the GamesCom expo

    This does sound exactly like a Ferrari-engine in Forza…

    You guys dont think it has anything to do with Assetto Corsa? Sort of has that very clean and sharp look like the Netkar Pro and Assetto Corsa Graphics have.

    That wheel also works on the PC. So I dont get what your point is. Just because its the official wheel for GT5 doesnt mean they cant do an Xbox 360 wheel. The CSR and CSR elite wheels were official Forza 4 wheels. That didnt stop Fanatec from making the CSW.

    yes is it finally an E-brake? ^_^

    I think all Xbox 360 controllers work with the pc, just software driver needed!! But I see your point and Thrustmaster had the Ferrari GT experience wheel for PS3 and the Ferrari 458 for the Xbox 360.

    Just wish I could afford the T500rs for my Pc :-(.

    My guess is ferrari branded road car style steering wheel addon for their their ffb wheel base (like the f1 wheel).

    A nice new wheel that doesn’t have a fan that makes a noisy racket would be nice.

    I’m thinking a 360 wheel also, but maybe not for Forza Horizon specifically seeing as how Horizon is moving away from the track. I’m thinking for Project CARS or F1 2012 or maybe it’s just a force feedback wheel for 360 (finally)

  • http://www.facebook.com/steve30x Steve Farrell

    I might be on the market for a new wheel soon. My replacement Fanatec GT3RS is starting to make noises that shouldnt be there already and I’ve only used the wheel about six times. I hope Thrustmaster is bringing out another decent wheel but at a good pricepoint.

    It´s a 360 mm steering wheel rim for T500 RS, sure…
