Thrustmaster Ferrari SF1000 Edition

This replica has a 4.3 inch / 109 mm interactive screen and 21 LEDs that are natively connected or connected wirelessly (via WiFi). The screen allows up to 69 pieces of information to be displayed with different designs for the type of game being played or the car being driven. The LED display consists of 15 LEDs for engine speed and 6 LEDs for marshal flags.

For the launch of the wheel, Thrustmaster introduced native screen integration in Codemasters’ F1 2020 on PS4, PS5 and PC. Xbox One and Xbox Series X users | S can enjoy the in-game screen thanks to wireless telemetry connectivity by configuring the wheel through the Thrustmaster TM Connect web platform.

In addition to its elegance, the Ferrari SF1000 Edition Formula Wheel add-on is also an incredibly powerful tool that prioritizes performance. Following Scuderia Ferrari’s commitment to constant innovation and excellence, the bike has several features designed to the highest standards:

• 100% carbon fiber front panel combines strength with a lightweight design for precise, perfectly balanced force feedback and improved race control.
• Textured rubber grips for exceptional racing comfort so users can stay focused during long gaming sessions.
• 11 physical action buttons (up to 25 total) with firm feel to prevent accidental activation, plus 7 encoders (including 2 thumbwheels) – 5 more available than the previous Thrustmaster Ferrari F1 Wheel add-on.
• Paddle shift lever made of 100% aluminum with push / pull and magnet technology for clear and precise activation in order to avoid driving errors and guarantee an unlimited service life.
• 2 alternative, adaptable analog rocker switches.

The formula wheel add-on Ferrari SF1000 Edition is one of the most versatile bikes ever developed for sim racing, thanks in part to the ability to swap out the main paddle shifters on the rear paddle. For even smoother shifting (jumping time of less than 5 milliseconds), the T-Chrono Paddles paddle shifters (sold separately) are a great alternative that offers a different feel and can help some drivers save valuable milliseconds outside of lap times.

The magnetic gear made possible by these alternative rocker switches, which include gold-plated silver contact switches, ensures even lower contact resistance and offers an extremely responsive switching feel that is second to none.
