A few days ago, I??ve posted a story on the first video reviews surfacing of Fanatec’s upcoming CSR Elite wheel.
While video reviews of sim racing hardware are rather common these days, here’s something new as the Fanatec Wheel Fansite has published detailed benchmarks of the new wheel, comparing it to its closest competitors from Fanatec, Thrustmaster & Logitech.
The benchmarks have been made by using the iRacing Force Feedback Test software that is available for download to iRacing members here.
Benchmarked values include Force feedback strength and wheel linearity, the full article with very detailed descriptions of the testing procedure can be read by clicking the chart above.
The CSR Elite is Fanatec???s first wheel that uses the brand-new developed base that will also power the upcoming Clubsport wheel base that is aimed at PC users. The CSR Elite is primarily aimed at console users, being compatible to both the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 and offering most of the pro features the Clubsport wheel will offer.
For a direct comparison of Fanatec???s wheels, please??check out this chart. The CSR Elite Wheel sells for 499 Euros/Dollars, it will be available starting around Christmas time.
