New Guillemot Digital Racing Wheel

3 posts by 3 people · 30 Sep 1999 - 02 Oct 1999

Not to stir the pot, but I'm really curious to know -- is Guillemot a well-established enterprise with a good track record of quality product and customer service? I don't keep up with PC *** stuff as much as I should, but their acquisition of Thrustmaster (is that what happened?) was quite a surprise to me. I see on their website that they have an exclusive license with Ferrari, similar to Mattel's...that may be impressive or it may not. What's the consensus -- are these guys OK or otherwise? Bart Brown

Guillemot has been making strides as a world class sound and video provider, I think their original image was low price low quality, but I think with the last couple of vid cards thier quality held up well. Remember that the big French G has bought Thrustmaster, I don't know if this wheel is an inhouse design or something bought from TM. dave henrie

Last winter I had the opportunity to test a alpha version of what I think this wheel is based on at TM headquarters. TM never got around to releasing it, I always got the impression that it would be out for Xmas season '99. -- **************************** Michael E.
