Racing Wheel with Force Feedback from Thrustmaster (T248 Force Racing Wheel)

Racing Wheel with Force Feedback from Thrustmaster (T248 Force Racing Wheel)

The new optimized HYBRID DRIVE system combines belt and gear mechanisms for unrivaled Force Feedback. 

The T248 also boasts increased power: it is 70% more powerful, while offering cutting-edge new features including three Force Feedback presets that can conveniently be changed on the fly. The T248 has been designed for racing gamers looking to upgrade from their gamepad and take advantage of industry leading performance and immersion, as well as those who want to take their racing game to the next level having started out with a wheel aimed at beginners. This brand-new racing wheel is officially licensed for PlayStation 5 consoles and PlayStation 4 consoles and is compatible with PC. Choose from more than 20 different displays available onscreen:

  • Manual adjustment of a range of settings: the wheel's rotation angle, Force Feedback type, etc.
  • The user's choice of telemetry displays: gear ratio, speed, number of laps, driver's position, best time, etc.

Dynamic Force Feedback

Users can easily adjust the level of Force Feedback on the fly, thanks to the screen as well. The T248 features three Force Feedback curves (presets included) compatible with all games:

  • FFB 1: linear Force Feedback, with the force felt by the user being 100% proportional to the force requested by the game.
  • FFB 2: enhanced Force Feedback, for better skid control.
  • FFB 3: boosted Force Feedback, allowing users to clearly feel all racing effects from the track (rumble strips, skidding off-track, etc.).

Next-generation Thrustmaster HYBRID DRIVE system

The T248 is currently the only racing wheel in its price range to feature a belt as an integral part of its unique, high-performance mechanism. Allowing gamers to enjoy increased power (up to 70% more powerful), T248 masters each track thanks to the outstanding level of drivability made possible by this hybrid system, avoiding counterintuitive sensations and friction problems commonly found in racing wheels without a belt drive component.

H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology (with Hall effect sensors)

Built into two key components directly linked to gameplay, this technology helps to enhance gamers' precision in all games, while eliminating any possible dead zones.

  • The magnetic paddle shifters included with T248 allow for super-fast gear shifting, with clear and precise activation feel (30 ms response time) to avoid driving errors. This contactless magnetic technology also maximizes the paddle shifters' lifespan, for problem-free gaming sessions over the long term.
  • The brand-new included T3PM pedal set also features the same proprietary, patented H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology.

Providing truly exceptional, thousandth-of-a-second precision, T3PM features 4 different spring configurations allowing gamers to race comfortably — and with the same level of precision — no matter what type of setup they're using (desk/table, cockpit, or Wheel Stands). With completely smooth motion and avoiding the loss of precision over time experienced by standard potentiometer-based pedal sets, T3PM represents a huge, striking leap forward both in terms of versatility and in-game responsiveness.

Pricing & Availability

The T248 (racing wheel and pedal set) is now available for pre-order at suggested retail prices of £299.99 / $399.99 / €349.99 with deliveries from October 21st

Unrivaled... lol.
Being placed between the T150 and T300 I wouldn't expect to much, better double the amount in cost or more and get something propper.
If on a low budget there are other choices as well, heck, even the TX Leather Edition can be found for only a bit more these days.

Btw. SCS is currently running a giveaway for a few of these wheels.

RUBBISH, anyone with half a brain would buy a T300RS instead, for the price they're asking
