Formula, single-seater simracing wheels and accessories

Discover the world of Formula racing wheels with Thrustmaster

This page features all our products compatible with the single-seater experience. Thrustmaster’s Formula racing wheels are ready to win! There are no half measures here. Depending on the wheel model, you’ll benefit from advanced features to immerse yourself in the racing world. Inspired by the Formula racing standards in terms of ergonomics, responsiveness and precision, these products are designed for both beginners and seasoned players. In other words, you’ll feel what it’s like to be in a single-seater’s cockpit.

What’s a typical Formula simracing wheel?

A Formula simracing wheel is distinguished by its rectangular shape, closely resembling the ones used in real-life racing. This particular design makes it easier to drive cars with strong aerodynamic downforce, such as single-seater models. Thrustmaster’s Formula wheels feature precise technical characteristics, including a compact design, multiple action buttons, compatibility with force feedback bases and sturdy materials. They enable users to enjoy more precise and responsive driving experience, especially in sharp turns and intense braking phases.

Broad compatibility and simple installation

One of the great benefits of Thrustmaster Formula wheels is their broad compatibility with the brand’s hardware ecosystem. Whether you already use a T300, TS-XW, TX Racing Wheel or T-GT II base, or even the direct drive T598 base, you can attach a wheel from the Formula range without any hassle.

And compatibility doesn’t stop at the bases—it also extends to platforms. Depending on the model, Thrustmaster Formula racing wheels work on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, adapting automatically to most popular racing games. This multiplatform flexibility enables you to keep your hardware should you change consoles or switch to PC.

In addition, installation was designed to be quick and easy. You can attach any single-seater wheel with a quick-release or screw-in system on the base, which is itself secured with a solid system, be it a reinforced desk clamp for a light setup or a rigid cockpit-type support for a more advanced configuration. No complex tools required. In just a few minutes, your steering wheel is ready.

Key technical elements of a Thrustmaster Formula simracing wheel

Thrustmaster Formula wheels replicate the design principles of real single-seater steering wheels. Unlike a traditional wheel, this type features a flat, often rectangular or U-shaped design to optimize ergonomics during intense driving. This design enables you to free up leg space in your setup and increase hand responsiveness during quick maneuvering.

The wheel’s ergonomic handles are often covered with non-slip materials like rubber. Such an ideal grip means these wheels are made for long gaming sessions.

Who can use the range of Formula racing wheels?

Formula racing wheels are designed to meet the needs of various types of players, taking into account their level of experience and expectations in terms of driving feel. Thanks to their modular structure and broad compatibility, this range is aimed at a wider audience than one might imagine.

For beginners discovering simracing

Contrary to popular belief, these racing wheels aren’t just intended for elite simracers. Some models are perfectly accessible to beginners (such as the Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On) thanks to a simple handling and quick installation. These wheels can be mounted on affordable bases, like the T300 RS or T598 base, offering a good balance between immersion and ease of use.

For intermediate simracers

Intermediate players who have already experienced simracing or racing games with a racing wheel will find interesting quality upgrades in the range of Formula racing wheels. By combining a typical single-seater wheel with a base with more advanced force feedback, such as the T818 or T598, they enjoy a finer, more realistic driving experience, with a better feel of mass transfers, fast turns or hard braking.

For seasoned simracers and online competitors

Lastly, advanced simracers passionate about single-seater racing and online competitions will find highly technical and immersive gear in the Thrustmaster Formula line that meets their discerning requirements. The Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition—the line’s flagship model—faithfully reproduces the layout and functionalities of the steering wheel used in the 2020 Ferrari single-seater. It incorporates a 4.3-inch LCD screen displaying up to 69 telemetry data, robust magnetic paddle shifters and up to 25 active buttons and switches.

Experienced players will also appreciate its durable design and advanced software integration (via the Thrustmaster Control Panel).
