Description
You roll up to the starting line and your engine idles as you take a look left and then right at your opponents. You can hear the roar of the crowd over the purring sound of each car, and you tighten your grip on the wheel on anticipation. Your crew throws out some encouraging words through your headset as the countdown begins. The second you see the flag wave, you throw it into gear and slam the pedal into the floor. Within seconds, the landscape is whirring by you in a dizzying rush of color and your gaze is focused with laser-like intensity on the road before you. Best of all, those opponents to your left and right are nowhere in sight. Of course you've left them in your dust — you're driving a Ferrari.When the racing action begins, you want the power of one of man's most precisely engineered vehicles at your fingertips. This officially licensed Ferrari Challenge Wheel Controller takes that power and delivers it to the game sphere. The wheel-mounted sequential gearbox features two Ferrari-style digital paddle shifters, one D-pad plus 12 action buttons and one home button to activate PlayStation 3 menus for all the gaming control you'll need. The wheel provides realistic linear resistance with automatic recentering, as well as adjustable steering sensitivity, for an authentic, optimized driving experience that will make you forget you're not really out there on the road. The acceleration and braking progressive pedals let you feel what it's like to push the pedal to the floor and take off on a high-speed race, while the nonslip footrest and central clamping system provide optimal pedal and wheel stability. The wheel controller is fully programmable with a mapping function that gives you a completely personalized experience. So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride — you've got precision, power and control within your grasp.

This product is well made and works fine, but be aware it is strictly a digital product with the PS3 compared to some of the other driving wheels. In other words it is a glorified hand held controller. A good driving wheel allows analog input and improves your steering capability greatly.
