And for the Thrustmaster T248’s money you just get that wheel base, not the the rim and pedals. While we’re not bowled over by the changes made in this brand new generation, to get a true next-level experience you’d have to upgrade to something like the fab-looking Fanatec CSL DD. You also need to take our observations in the right context. Still, you can add a separate gear shifter if you like. You can’t upgrade the rim, creating a clear delineation between this wheel and Thrustmasters top models.
It also side-steps upgrade-itis, in one sense at least, because the Thrustmaster T248 is not part of a modular system.
