It's a long name for Fanatec's latest wheel and, at $200, one of its most affordable.

That's just the cost of the wheel itself. You'll need to buy a wheel base to connect it to as well.

This is actually a reboot of an earlier wheel, the biggest change being revised shifters.

The new shifters use magnetic resistance to provide a crisp feel.

At 300mm, the wheel is slightly larger than the company's ClubSport Formula wheel.

There are plenty of controls here for various in-game functions.

Those controls are designed to exactly replicate those on the McLaren 650S GT3!

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
