Thrustmaster TS-PC RACER Ferrari 488 Challenge Edition Racing Wheel Black – 2960798

Ferrari, the most famous brand in motorsports, presents the TS-PC RACER Ferrari 488 Challenge Edition racing wheel with Thrustmaster. The combination of the TS-PC RACER base and a replica of the real Ferrari 488 Challenge wheel (officially licensed by Ferrari) creates an incredibly realistic racing experience. This 32cm (12.6"), 9:10 scale replica of the Ferrari 488 Challenge wheel is specially crafted for total immersion in the world of Ferrari racing. Crafted from polyurethane and Alcantara, a material also used by Ferrari for its wheels, the wheel features 15 integrated LEDs for the tachometer and two rotary switches for optimal ease of use and pure efficiency while racing. Compatible with the Thrustmaster racing ecosystem on PC (Windows 10/8/7), the TS-PC RACER Ferrari 488 Challenge Edition features a range of Thrustmaster's advanced technologies such as the external Turbo Power power supply, the Motor Cooling Embedded system, and a highly responsive 40-watt motor providing enhanced Force Feedback.

A powerhouse of technologies

TS-PC RACER is Thrustmaster’s ultimate racing simulator for PC racers. It faithfully reproduces the car’s response and track conditions.
TS-PC RACER is a powerhouse of technologies created to enhance gaming performance and offer a racing experience closer to reality, allowing gamers to be fully immersed.

Thrustmaster TS-PC servo base

Metal top cover, 270°–1080° rotation angle, Industrial-class brushless 2nd-generation motor, The TS-PC RACER’s motor provides powerful 40-watt brushless Force Feedback, Motor Cooling Embedded system, Field Oriented Control algorithm, External Turbo Power power supply.

Realistic competition wheel design

The wheel is a 9:10 scale replica (12.6”/32 cm in diameter) of the real Ferrari 488 Challenge wheel. Officially licensed by Ferrari, it features a total of 25 programmable functions: Faceplate and 2 paddle shifters crafted of black brushed anodized metal,15 built-in LEDs for tachometer function (RPM),2 directional pads (D-pads with push function), 2 rotary switches with push function, and 8 action buttons, Designed with hand-stitched wrapping crafted of the same Alcantara material imported from Italy as that used on genuine Ferrari wheels.

Brushless servomotor technology (40 watts)

To provide a high level of performance, precision and comfort for highly-demanding PC gamers, Thrustmaster developed the TS-PC servo base. The industrial-class brushless 2nd-generation motor ensures 50% more dynamics, and 4 times greater stall force than the previous generation. Torque is 1.6 times higher than the torque provided by the TX and T300 RS wheel bases.

Dynamic torque

Very responsive 40-watt motor for particularly dynamic and powerful effects, with enhanced feedback. The TS-PC RACER’s motor provides powerful 40-watt brushless Force Feedback and incredible velocity (dynamic torque): from long stall curves (STALL mode) to super-responsive zigzags (DYNAMIC mode).

Motor Cooling Embedded system (patent pending)

Maintains dynamics with the new motor by ensuring that there is no overheating, while remaining silent. Provides 50% more dynamics and 4 times greater stall force than the TX and T300 RS wheel bases, plus heat dissipation via monophasic cooling.

H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) + F.O.C.

Field Oriented Control algorithm: H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) provides 16-bit resolution (65,536 values), while the new F.O.C. algorithm dynamically optimizes the response to intense torque demands. The motor responds dynamically and swiftly to increased torque requests, while switching and reducing power drops.

External Turbo Power power supply

External Turbo Power power supply delivers constant power and massive peak power to instantly respond to ultra-fast requests from the game. Toroidal-shaped to optimize efficiency versus heat at 86%, with a finless design. Peak power: 400 watts!
