Title: New Fanatec wheel for real GT3 car
Post by: Joe on December 07, 2020, 05:34:21 PM
Saw this a couple of days ago, but as nobody has posted here thought some people hadn't seen. Pretty cool

That's both cool and bizarre at the same time.

Seeing as it has all the tech in it so it works with a real car you'd assume that's going to add a lot of cost to making it that we'd never need. Think their Porsche replica is 600 so wouldn't surprise me if that one was more than that.

cool, not too bad,
I Wonder if you have to buy a podium wheel base to run it

Yeah I reckon they'll put a premium on this one, maybe around 800+. The new qr probably means podium only and even then it looks like you gotta replace the existing gold shaft section on the wb. It's easy to replace (in srg videos) but not something you'd want to do regularly. I'd assume that they will sell the wheel with option to choose either qr (old or new) otherwise there will be some upset customers. If they do sell it with the old qr then they will keep the "class leading compatibility" they bang on about.

I am expecting this to cost in the thousands (but i have no idea )  , as its not a replica its the actual BMW wheel they use in their race cars.

It's awesome. A pity you need a Fanatec base for it. I doubt you'll get it for less that 1k.
