Steering wheel advice (again)

5 posts by 5 people · 12 Apr 1998 - 13 Apr 1998

I know this has been asked many times on RAS - but now I need make a decision the answers aren't around. Please advise whether the Thrustmaster Nascar Pro/Formula One is a good option at a reasonable cost. (I know there are better wheels but at a premium price I can't justify to the wife!) Cheers Tony

I've found this wheel to be excellent, I've had it for 4 months now and unforunately the throttle spring just snapped :( However, new springs cost next to nothing so I dont care, I still say its an excellent setup. Steve

I don't have any problems with mine, and I use it quite a bit. There are better out there, but most of them are hundreds of bucks more.
What I like best about it is not only does it have pedals, but it has buttons on the wheel AND a shift lever. The buttons on the wheel are a big plus as apposed to being on the dash. The clamping system is the best compared to any other wheel I've seen, and other than my wheel getting stiff after some hard play, I love this wheel for the price.

I have had my Nascar Pro since last Christmas and it has performed great thus far. If ya don't beat it up it will last , Used quite a bit by me and my eight year old.
