The full-scale replica of the famous Sparco® R383 rally wheel, now available as an add-on for the Thrustmaster ecosystem
Thrustmaster is expanding its racing ecosystem with the release of its first rally wheel – no less than the Rally Wheel Add-On Sparco® R383 Mod! With this new device, produced under Sparco® official license, Thrustmaster strives to deliver increasingly realistic rally competition experiences.
Designed for rally competitions
Measuring 13″/33 cm in diameter, the newest addition to the range of Thrustmaster add-ons is a 1:1 replica of the original wheel, whose name it bears.
The Rally Wheel Add-On Sparco® R383 Mod has been designed in the purest rally racing spirit, focusing on the essentials while maximizing efficiency. Rally competitions rank among the most demanding races, featuring tortuous tracks, sudden flurries of turns and switchbacks with little or no visibility, and real-life racers praise the original R383 wheel. In response to the enhanced realism delivered by new rally racing games for PC and game consoles, Thrustmaster is providing e-racers with the same performance enhancement devices as real-life drivers. The only feature not included is the co-pilot, but as rally games offer an on-screen road book, racers can now use this remarkably efficient wheel to hurtle through “long right curves,” “tight lefts” and “hairpins”.
The wheel boasts a sleek design, with a black suede leather-clad rim and a solid, black brushed metal faceplate. The two large, wheel-mounted metal paddle shifters, measuring 5″/13 cm in height, are adjustable to be instinctively accessible at all times, right at the racer’s fingertips.
From a technical perspective, nine action buttons and a directional pad with a push-button are located around the wheel’s faceplate, offering easy access in rally racing conditions. The carbon-style button areas, compatible with all platforms, are directly inspired by those found in rally cars.
Rally-style, yet versatile
Designed for rally games, this add-on’s 360° circular shape is perfectly suited to other types of racing simulation games.
