Hi All,

Last night we had the opprotunity to host not only my good buddy Thomas here at the studio, but we also had long time friend Dom Duhan of Team Redline AND Paul Jeal, Stephen Hood and Andy Gray from Codemasters hanging us with us last night, drinking beers and talking sim racing..

Every year, Thomas of Fanatec brings us a new toy to show off, or play with.. Check out this new Forza Motorsports 4 Elite wheel.. It will debut at E3 today as well as their new CSR wheel (pictures and vid of that later as well as an interview with Thomas).

If you're going to share these at another site, please give credit to http://www.insidesimracing.tv

Enjoy !

[jonboy1066]

That looks awesome, is it XBox only or cross platform?

[Darin Gangi]

Cross platform

[iGuitar93]

Can the ffb rip your hands off like the t500rs?

[Tinker]

I guess if you pre ordered one now you MIGHT get one in 2013....

All joking aside, the hub looks decent but why can they make the wheel be a standard 5 bolt (70mm) or any other real world steering wheel pattern so it would be easy to swap out wheels in you wanted to.

Also what is the diam of the wheel

[slavke]

the housing looks the same as that audi wheel on previous thread. The rim is 10x better though.

Darrin, hurry up and get more info out. What is the price of this wheel? Will Fanatec *really* be able to have this wheel out for FM4? I hope the shipment is already in US. I will probably come up with the $$ to buy asap dependinhg on the details

[almattgti]

Please can u find out price of this and if it will be available online or in retails stores. Thanks for this information, has settled some of my hopes this year.

Any sightings of the ClubSport Shifter Darin???

[K_Soze]

The best news from this E3 !!! A new High End Fanatec Wheel !!!
Come on Fanatec, give us the full Clubsport package (wheel, shifter and pedals) !!!

[sandboxgod]

okay just re-read the original post. Details coming out in a few hrs then at E3 forza 4 presentation I'm assuming.

[Roy Visser]

Can't wait for more info!

[steakastig]

if this wheel has 360, PS3 and PC compatibility I might just change my GT2 order

[Crafty Fox]

Arrrrrghhhwwwaaaar, super fantastic forza steering wheel, arrrrghhhwwaaar...

Well done again to ISR and of course to Thomas on his new Babie(s)...

Look forward to the upcoming videos and oh my is that dual motors I see Darin

[sonac]

I hope you guys have some crazy video editing skills so you can get these videos out to us very soon You could even make them pay per view and still get lots of views I think

[brentsonier]

have they discussed the price for this? oh wow i want one! No D-PAD...is that a analog stick?

[El Delementez]

Looks like it'll be a tough choice for me now - was swaying towards a Fanatec GT2 [or a PS3+G27] but now I'll have to wait for this.

I've got a MS Wheel at the moment and thought it was horrible to use for FM3, ended up using a pad all of the time. Do the Fanatec wheels make Forza more enjoyable/competitive - trying to decide whether to jump ship and get a PS3/PC wheel, but I do love my Forza.

[rmattisonav8r]

Not quite as slick as the GT2 wheel. But I wonder if a guy could swap wheel
Rims more easily?

[RaceManIak]

This wheel will be ready for Forza 5 (the logo is only "Forza Motorsport")
FM4 is optimized for Kinect and the ridiculus new microsoft wireless wheel anyway
