For the most immersive sim racing experiences possible, investing in a top wheel is a must. The trouble is, buying sim racing gear can be expensive unless you find what you're looking for while it's on sale. Enter Fanatec's Porsche 911 GT3 R Suede Wheel.
Yes, that is a long name, but the reason for it is that this is actually a bundle deal. You get a premium, suede, 911-branded wheel along with all the Podium modules pictured below for just $579.80 (also available in the UK). That is a $100 saving that makes it one of the best sim racing deals on the market. Let's dive into why...
Should you buy the Fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 R Suede Wheel?
Being an amalgamation of parts, you might think this complete Fanatec wheel lacks the performance of an all-in-one set. That, however, is almost exactly the opposite of what to expect. What you get here is some of the best components Fanatec has in its locker.
Starting with the wheel rim, you get a full-scale replica Porsche 911 GT3 Cup wheel, complete with a suede lining and Porsche branding in the center. Behind it slots the Podium Button Module Endurance, which features a customizable OLED display with an Intelligent Telemetry Mode (ITM), RGB lighting, and plenty of buttons and switches to give you complete control over your vehicle.
Then there's the Podium Hub, providing a 16-bit resolution and low latency performance, working alongside the magnetic paddles that allow for rapid shifts and advanced control over your clutch.
The result is a complete modular steering wheel with all the tools to create a high-performance, full-scale replica of the Porsche 991 GT3 R wheel. Just make sure you act fast to secure your one for less!
