Hello everyone, I am posting here to tap into the knowledgable people on this website to help me to purchase my next Racing Wheel.
I currently have an old Thrustmaster Ferrari Force Feeback wheel, in my homemade cockpit, and while this provides me with enough realism to have fun, I feel that wheels should have advanced in the last 10 years, and upgrading should up the realism factor by a fair bit, not to mention being able to drive proper manual and not just paddle shift. I currently race on the PC, RACE series, F1 2010 etc. but would also like to race on GT5 on my PS3, which my current Thrustmaster won't allow me to do.
Here is Australia, I am finding myself quite limited in where I can buy my wheels from, and only recently have the new Thrustmasters shown up in online shops.
I am currently looking at 3 wheels, as follows:
Logitech G27 - $449 AUD
Thrustmaster T500RS - $699 AUD
Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S Clubsport Edition Bundle - $699 AUD
I really like the look of the Clubsport pedals, but I am not sure if the Turbo S wheel is comparable to the T500RS or even the GT2 from Fanatec, but I can't find the GT2 available over here.
The G27 is probably not up to either of the other wheel standards, but it is cheaper and has great modability.
So to stop me from rambling anymore, I will simply ask, out of these 3 wheels, for the prices they are, which is the best option to go with?
Cheers guys.
