We've seen an influx of new sim racing gear in the last year, but affording it all is getting harder. For many, the only affordable choices now are the older wheels like the popular Logitech G29 family. The strange part is, it feels as though all the brands in this sector are forgetting that not everyone can afford wheel and pedals sets that cost more than $500. The best racing wheels for PC, or any platform, made by Moza, Logitech, Fanatec, and even the new Revosim gear by Nacon, all go well above that $500 mark.
But what all of these brands forget while making the most up-to-date, realistic, flashy racing gear is that a massive proportion of gamers shudder at the thought of an $80 game. For niche hardware, I think things need to be more affordable. On that note, Thrustmaster is doubling down in the right way. One of the best pound-for-pound wheels, the Thrustmaster T248, is getting a brand new model, and it's available for pre-order now for $349.99 / £269.99.
