What’s not to like about this? Expensive yes but it looks and feels it. All the knobs and switches and the paddles have a really nice, solid, positive feel to them. The screen is fantastic. We use this with F1 2023 and it really does help put you in the drivers seat for realistic SIM racing.
For what is essentially a pretty cheap wheel in today’s market, the finish is absolutely beautiful. I use this on iRacing alongside the TGT-II and feels great. Not used alongside other sims, however the screen is a very handy background info display.
I have mine literally 3 inches from my router yet it constantly loses connection and switches off in game momentarily before regaining connection again, not exactly what you need during a race, great wheel but absolutely NOT worth the price, its clear you are paying for the Ferrari name and not the wheel
Got it on sale and think this is one of the best wheels I’ve used out there! Takes a while to figure out the telemetry for xbox and console which Is all on the thrustmaster website and I also watched some youtube videos but easy set up on PC! Feels very good quality and generally makes me want to play racing more! 🙂
Superb wheel. Using the clutch paddles (under the gear shift paddles) has shaved around a second a lap off my time on Forza Motorsport 7. Yes, it’s an expensive add-on, but it’s been well-worth the money. Excellent quality and feel.
The Thrustmaster Ferrari SF1000 Wheel Add-on is a fabulous piece of kit. Being a console user I cannot opt for the myriad of other sim equipment, but this is all I ever wanted.
Beautifully presented and an extremely well built wheel. Looks fantastic with the real carbon fibre front and the milled metal gear paddles and dual clutches.
Being able to use all the additional buttons and dials adds so much to games. My Assetto Corsa Competizione setup is now perfect and I don’t need to change anything in the MFD.
To date the only negative I have, and it is nothing to do with the wheel itself, is that more titles do not fully support it. GT7 for example only pushes minimal info to the wheel and does nothing to take advantage of the many dash layout options.
If you don’t mind, I need to go and do some more racing
I use this for ACC racing GT3 and GT4 and honestly this is the most comfortable wheel I have used yet and the buttons are extremely well placed and the screen is fantastic!
Setup was easy enough, however to setup the Wi-Fi on the wheel you need to enable it in wheel settings and then connect to it on your phone and then lets you pick your normal Wi-Fi for it to connect to.
Excellent wheel if your into your sim racing games.
Took a while to figure out how to get the display hooked up to the UDP of the game via mobile phone on the Xbox series X.
Took a lot of looking though YouTube and asking questions on Facebook but eventually got there.
Setting up the buttons to do what you want them to do is also a task as a lot are duplicated on the Xbox and are mainly used for PC.
There are a lot more different screens you can cycle through than I’ve shown in the pictures.
The barst pert is all the dials work and so do the buttons so mapping is endless to how you want it.
Enjoy and well worth having if you enjoy racing games.
This product annoyed the hell out of me in the beginning. However, Once I’d worked through several issues that presented themselves, it became exactly what I’d wanted this whole time. It’s very informative. Once you get used to what button does what, it’s very immersive. The build quality is very good, telemetry is absolutely spot on, especially for formula 1 games (others work too) . The number 1 issue was the gear shifters sometimes not registering clicks. However, a nice person on reddit had the following instructions. Clean all the prongs, on the wheel and on the paddles, screw the screws in this order:
2 1
3 4
It may take 1 or 2 attempts to perfect, but this sorted the problem for me, I’m a week without missing a single gear change, up or down. Also, please do make sure you update this wheel to the latest firmware.
This is a fantastic wheel add on. It’s LCD screen really add to an immersive racing experience. Yes it is a little costly, but wow it really adds something to your racing.
