    Thrustmaster quality.

    Bought in February, I owned the T300RS for iRacing.
    T300RS out of order after one year, motherboard problem and calibration impossible.
    The PC-RACER has a good FFB but nothing like a Fanatec Clubsport v2.5R.

    7 months later, my PC-RACER is down... (motherboard, impossible calibration).
    Thrustmaster after-sales service: I have to send it back for a new card, saying that the problem is isolated and not known. A joke when you see the number of returns on the forums and YT videos.

    Only happiness

    I am very pleased with the quality of the steering wheel.
    The steering wheel is of very good quality and the alcantara is very well made. I am a player on iracing and I have improved my times and especially my regularity.
    The price is still a bit high but no regrets, compared to a fanatec.
