The only issue you might have with the race information is viewing it while you’re driving.
One thing to note about the brake pedal is that, wow, is it stiff.
There’s nothing worse than yanking a cable free after it gets tangled without you realizing!
Playing alone with headphones on, you won’t notice.
For a wheel that hits perfectly in so many areas, the gear paddles almost feel like an oversight.
How that works with heat is interesting.
Switching to a leather lining definitely reduces these issues and is very comfortable to use for long periods.
But aside from the leather rim, the rest of the wheel is predominantly black, sculpted plastic.
That’s not to say it looks cheap, because it doesn’t.
Handbrake placement is another issue, as without a dedicated attachment, you’ll be using a button.
Turning the wheel and holding the handbrake can prove a very tricky affair.
