Which Sim Racing Wheel Is Right For You: GT Edition 

Ok well now i need a big Fat wooden rim... great stuff

Presentation is flawless, and the accompanying 'B roll' is straight out the top drawer. No-one matches Chris for film footage

I feel personally attacked by that last part... jokes aside, insanely high quality video as always Chris! :)

Can't wait for the open wheel edition

When discussing on-wheel displays "I personally don't like to look at my wheels much", but produces a 10 minute video showing off fancy sim racing wheels no one can afford! 🤣🤣🤣. Seriously though, great video as usual. The production value is off the charts. Having recently tried a little video editing (of my own appalling driving), I can now appreciate the time and effort. Thanks. 👍

And here I was, falling in love with the idea of getting the Turn Racing r20, and Chris comes baring in with an unexpected GT rim video and some new wheel maker I hadn't heard of! Take responsibility, Mr Haye, and tell me how that Lambo wheel compares to the r20 with Turn's button plate! It's fifty US dollars more and comes with two more buttons and an extra encoder, but I've heard only great things about Turn. Don't make me have to buy both...

Map probz for the effort you are putting into making your videos dude! The Sim-Racing community can be truly glad to have people like you among them!

For what it's worth, the Ginetta G55 has rather satisfying clicky paddles. I didn't get a chance to drive one mind you, but I did mess with a rim like an amused toddler when I helped scan one for work.

i'm having a weird issue with sim racing.. i reeaaallyyy love all gear aspects about it, but actually driving mostly frustrates me. often i just start a sim because i have the gear, have a little bit of fun but end up frustrated after about 40 minutes. Everytime i see cool gear i wanna buy it, but end up restraining myself because i will probably not make good use of it. im trying my best to learn this hobby properly, but its really difficult and everytime i make my car spin, frustration hits me again x.x OK, Enough for my self help, great video as always, we need more people like you chris

I love the ending! That was hilarious!

9:12 this! Everytime I look at getting a second rim for my T300 I think this, shrug and go "better save the money instead for when something breaks".

7:16 Real MVP shit. Thank you Chris

The one thing that you didn't mention is the dual clutch paddle option. As far as I can tell, the only GT style wheels that offer this as an option (upgrade) is Fanatec and either the Ascher F64 (possibly their button boxes can add them, but not sure how difficult that is). I realize that the dual clutch isn't always an option on most GT cars, and are less useful with rolling start races, but some titles and race series put you into standing starts, where the dual clutch can be handy. Any feedback on how hard it is to modify say an SRC, GSI, Cube Control, etc, wheel to include dual clutch?

I have Simracingbay GT3 wheel for GT and open wheel racing, and a Sparco round wheel with simline button box for Ovals and Rallying, so I am pretty much covered, and since I race in VR two different button placements to memorize is enough :)

Off to a good start with a Mitch Hedberg reference 😂

Chris you forgot to cover the most important aspect: how cool it looks and how cool you feel while using it.

Wow, I feel personally attacked by that ending

I have my eyes on the Fanatec Porsche wheel 👀

.... and for everybody who wants to Keep their kidneys and their G29/920/27, Iran only recommend the MVH Studios GT Wheel 😉 Really good video Chris, thanks for making me research wether I need two kidneys.

Oh yes so good living in Brazil (where I would have to sell my apartment to buy any of these) and watching this video, I'll go back crying to my g29 T_T

Yet another question 4 U, Does the Magnetic Shifter Mod for the G29 &920 work with the G923... ?

What a wheelie good video. 💪

What shape/size is apt for 50s to 90s open wheelers...?

Mclusky fan here, to hell with good intentions.

Single round wheel for me every time.

can formula 1 edition please as i’m trying upgrade

Load cell pedals were faster when tested against g920 pedals by driver61

Anybody know if the turn racer style wheel can be used with an h pattern or does it not really work

“A new wheel…is not a suitable replacement for human companionship” That’s where you’re wrong, kiddo!

6:44 Yeeeaaahhhhhh

I prefer wheels you can drift with.

This video is so much like pornography that I instinctively shut it off when I heard my GF coming down the stairs.

Boi the 🐑o wheel is sexy

me: controller OP

If your not first your last

Money.

When it takes u the first half of the video to realise that this is kind of a April fools

高性价比模拟赛车游戏周边看这里，朋友们

first!

Quality content - perfect mix of helpful information and subtle humor, honestly haven't not been recommended this channel I'd probably be procrastinating on building a sim setup for the 14th time...

I race in VR so have one beautifully wallet-friendly round wheel.

It's an honor to be able to make something you enjoy 🙏

I have a thrustmaster 458 spyder Ferrari wheel with no force feedback it does the job for every car that I drive

I'm at point where I can't drive a car if I don't have a replica wheel

does the sim line Lamborghini wheel work with Xbox and the fanatec csl base

Any wheel that has around 300mm diameter I find is good for GT racing.

my god the production value is stunning, I could watch these videos purely for the satisfaction of watching them rather than the actual content, which is stellar as well.

Have you tried the Rosso Sim Racing replica wheels?

Grandpa tell them about your G27!

As a Simracer you can never have enough steering wheels... kind of... like women and shoes ^^

9:11 WRONG! I simply cannot support this blatant misinformation masquerading as analysis. You ALWAYS need more gear! ;-) Great video Chris. I've been waiting for this with great anticipation. My Turn Racing R20 should be arriving this week.

I watched a load of your stuff back in November before I bought my first wheel, even saw the video where you warn people this is like crack and we'll get addicted, yet here I am, four months in and I've already bought a rig, upgraded my pedals and bought a handbrake and now you tempt me with shiny new wheels arghhh! that wooden wheel does look like a beauty though....

Hmm a review of the wheel conversion kits like for the T300 wheel or the TM Open wheel addon. Swapped my used modified G27 (GTEye springs+replaced potentiometers with the 3drap kit) for a used T500RS set and so the topic of the Video was really interesting. Especially as modding the brake pedal to my taste and requirements (sadly I can't hardmount them) was a bit tricky, given that I want a progressive feel and a pedal roughly as firm or slightly firmer than the GTEYE s but not enough to send the Pedals sliding.

Your Videos Are awesome!!!

I been looking at the Simline wheels. They seem to be pretty high quality, what are your thoughts on the HURACAN GT3 you have from them?

As the saying goes : A Chris Haye video a day keeps the blues at bay. Lovely video, mate. I bet you have as much fun making them as we do watching them. Loving this new style and presentation. Truly reflects that you’re just happy making videos that you enjoy making. Back to the topic at hand, I’d probably love to have one of those semi open wheels, or D-wheels for GT racing since that’s all I sim race these days. But unfortunately, my wallet begs to differ that I should first prioritise getting a gaming pc that can actually play ACC optimally. For now, the t300 ferrari alcantara wheel will have to do. Not to say that I’m not enjoying it, it’s a great wheel and wheel base when you stop comparing gears all the time. Besides, what more could I ask for since I’ve already added thrustmaster’s T-LCM load cell brake pedal set.

To dim down the "clicky" part of the shifter I used 2 layers from a rubber glove to cover the magnets and it works perfect for me by just slightly muffling the click.

I’m 55 I can’t afford 1 iv got PlayStation 5 and gran turismo that’s it I’m disabled so don’t work I’d love one but it’s going to take me over year to save for one I want fanetec so it’s going to be longer 😭😭😭😢👍

Mclusky rocked, the only difference between you me is that I don't have a fanatec wheel, or do mclusky does wheels😂

330mm Fanatec Alacantera GT. I do dirt oval, and a fat ass, so I need that extra room at the bottom to get in, and out of my rig.

2:23 me 360 drifting it to the inside of the corner while flipping off the newbs behind me as I face them

Good work. Thanks.

I know this is an old video but I have to know more about that Corvette wheel. I neeeeeed it plzzzzzz

That same Turn rim is my primary rim for ACC, it's been great. I'm always surprised by how many people use the 270MM Fanatec Formula V2 for ACC. The only reason I can think of is it is the nicest mid-range all in one wheel they have. The McLaren wheel is relatively plastic and cheap, while the M4 rim is as much 4 to 5 times as much. Fanatec would be smart to release a GT all in one on the same level as their Formula wheel IMO

I think there's a problem when the racing wheel (the whole setup) costs more than a decent Mountain bike.

I need some rally stuff do some one now some business that make good shifter and some other stuff for rally?

Huracan Gt3 ❤️

69th like

Did you just open with a hedberg joke?

Love that end video 🤣. So true .

♥️❤️

there's a 100% that there's a Mclusky fan

Do you now of a wheel that you can change for xbox?

Chris, what's your impression on the Ricmotech Sim ?

Please make one with formula 1 style wheels

I've always been that guy that appriciate things that replicate the real counter part, for an example, I prefer the Simline Porsche wheel over the Fanatec one, just because it has the raw finish to it, it's just like it should be, no more, no less. That's the reason to why I never got myself to buy any of the licensed Fanatec wheels either, they simply don't look right, they might have the shape, they might have the right diameter and so on, but there's always a compromise to fit that LCD screen for an example. They add unnecessary things like a extra frame, to fit things like the rev lights, TC/ABS lights, which has never been a part of the real life counter part. I understand that people enjoy this kind of stuff, and I understand that people take advantage of the info they can get out of it, and I got nothing against it, whatever floats your goat I guess. But for me, it got to look right. And the irony here, is that I'm using VR, I'm not even looking at the wheel when using it, like at all. 😂

What would you say is the best gt game?

I Have no idea how you can rate wheels if you just straight up say - price doesnt matter. Might as well then say Lambo or Golf - ah price doesnt matter.

Mitch Hedburg lives on

Hi Chris, thanks for another video, great idea for the content. I have DD1 F1 wheel PS4/5 but I always had T300 F599x alcantara edition. I play ASsetto Corsa Competizione but I want to try all different street cars in Assetto Corsa and also try a rally game. Obviously I can’t enjoy it with F1 wheel. My plan was to disassemble DD1 F1 wheel (the blue one) and add F599x wheel using podium hub to DD1. You meanthat will not work? What happens when you add F599X wheel to podium hub and DD1. Is there reduced FFB or there’s none, do shifters work? (I haven’t got a gear shifter). Many thanks!

I just need one racing wheel and sit in front of that wheel which is attached to a real racing car, any GT3 racing car or an AMG GT3 my beloved car. Unfortunately I cannot afford a sim wheel like these you are presenting and I won’t never sit and drive a racing car in my life. Money and ages talks.

I think a lot of people spend far too much money on fancy wheels. Completely unnecessary but you like what you like I guess. For me it's just a wheel and I'm happy with the one one that came with my wheelbase. I drive all cars with the same wheel, if I need faster initial turn in I do it thru the sim software. I think size becomes an issue with more powerful setups, even 6Nm gets pretty tiring via a 280mm wheel. You can add magnetic shifter mods to just about everything that doesn't have it it out of the box and in some cases the mod can also be used to shorten the travel on the paddle should you wish. The stuff that is crammed into it the more likely it will go wrong especially when the manufacturer overtightens the screws. Yes, you know who you are. Fix up.

As usual your trademark laconic British style makes something as unimaginative as GT wheels compulsive viewing; add in a smirky innuendo or two & I'm grinning like a Cheshire cat....'Carry On' producing this kind of brilliant content :)

I had a wheel with magnets... And I hated it

I own too many gt wheels (fanatec mclaren and porsche, a turnracing mclaren and an aston) but i keep coming back to the cheapest, but grip-superiour mclaren gt3 wheel by fanatec. Bang for the buck

Chris I’m wondering if you are aware of a video comparing a number of direct drive wheel bases? I am now ready to purchase my first dd base and I am aware of Fanatec’s new $350 base but for my next purchase I am hoping for a base that gives me the best force feedback experience or rather the most realistic representation of what a game might provide. I found one vid from sim racing garage but they compared 3 and I was only familiar with the one that took 3rd place. I am guessing that it would be difficult and expensive to bring a current selection of dd bases together for this comparison. Is there a generally excepted brand that is currently considered the best racing experience?

Another video, another step closer to self-justifying buying the McLaren v2 rim...

I been to a travel from Logitect to Thrustmaster to Fanatec CLS Elite to Fanatec Podeum DD1. It sure cost me some bucks.... but actually, practice with what you got will make you a better driver. Switching wheels all the time is not practical when it comes to getting better :) Have a good race.......

Where's our McLusky at?

Sparco L360 is the best

Lastima. Acá en Argentina no llegan

God damn that PSA video insert was amazing lol. Great stuff, my TMX will have to carry me for a good while still, but I'll get to this kind of stuff eventually. (Just don't tell the wife!)

I am an avid racer - just not in a sim. I’m looking at the fanatec club sport alcantera fully round wheel as my only wheel to start out with. I love rally so think a round wheel will be best for everything - plus that’s what I’m used to in my own race car.

Hi mate, what do you use to keep your wheels standing upright? I Need it :D

Gt7 wheels compatable??

3:05 number of digits? jesus

How do I give a like for video and a second one for the public information broadcast? It was brilliant and funny.

Hi Chris, are you planning to record a review of the latest F1 car from RSS?

I was triggered when you tried to imply that getting new sim gear is not a suitable replacement to human companionship. My sim gear is the only thing left that can't reject me!
