My name is Mike and I’m an addict. The things I’m addicted to are usually round in shape and produce a feeling of euphoria, but they’re not drugs. Tragically, I’m talking about sim racing steering wheels.
It’s not really my fault. Back in the early days of sim racing equipment, the wheel rim remained resolutely attached to the base and was usually generic in design. Then in 1999 a company by the name of Thrustmaster, which I’ll confess sounds like the alias of an adult movie performer, released a licensed Ferrari 360 Modena steering wheel. Proper automotive manufacturers had got involved in sim equipment and all bets were off.
