I recently built my own GT3-R steering wheel using a kit from The French Simracer. This video will explain the process you need to go through to make one like this and the lessons I learned along the way.

Biro I would like this wheel but with some health issues that just cane up i dont have the funds to buy ready to go but is there a place u can send me to get a simagic one like this
Hey I want to order this kit aswel, is it holding up in the DD? Bit worried about no aluminium or Carbon plate being used on a direct drive
In this case hydrographic could be better to get carbon effect. Maybe you will try it next time.
Great job anyway! SUB +
Why you didnt use the spacer for the shifter paddles?🧐
That is cheap but a lot to do lol..love your videos on the phillips hue lights excited to do that myself..great videos for the sim community 🙂
I'll second the usefulness of a helping hand, I use one for myself when soldering. Also bad at soldering btw 😉
Will from boosted media sent me to say hi.
Very cool man. You saw something you wanted that didn’t exist on the market and you made it happen. There are so many replica wheels I’d like but people seem to be stuck on making just those few you mentioned earlier.
How about your button box? Did you get one made?
Is there a way to map butons to be faster in the straigths nad to change settings in the curves?
Hi, cool Video. Where is the Porsche Logo from ?
