the set comes complete with 2 sets of paddles, small and large. And also a complete set of adjustable buttons and switches.
I will probably buy a wheel in a car shop to mount on it.

Just bought a wifi dongle to make my smart phone into a display. Maybe a 7" tablet can be cool for that as well.

Fanatec just released new software and firmware. The feel has even more improved. I'm impressed. I could easily drive the Lola to a top 10 position this afternoon, and that was with an untuned car. Those are the good old A1 GP cars and they are a blast to drive. Open Wheel class B. (GRID)

The set is much smaller and lighter than i thought it would be. And that is good for FFB reaction time. :woot:

New Fanatec Porsche RSR 918 Wheel
Please welcome the Porsche 918 RSR Steering wheel for your ClubSport Wheel Base.

The race version of the Porsche 918 supercar is the best what Porsche has to offer at the moment and a true masterpiece of Germaneering.

We loved the breathtaking style of the car and the interior from the first moment and the steering wheel got our attention right away.

The combination of elegant super car and minimalistic race car style is unmatched and there is no word to describe how great it feels in your hand.

But form follows function so it also comes with the extremely helpful shift light indicators which are placed right in front of your eyes. By the use of expensive materials like carbon fibre and high-end PU foam and leather on the rim we were also able to reduce the weight significantly. This will result in much better performance.

They are working on XB1 and PS4 products. There is even a CSW V2 in the making with direct drive.

But this must be the coolest wheel ever for Racing games. :2thumbsup:

I have. It is an awesome wheel. Because it is partly made of carbon fiber, the weight is almost 30% less than the BMW rim.
This results in faster movement of the wheel and even better FFB.

The leather wrapping is also very nice. IMO the best wheel available on the market right now. :2thumbsup:
