Are you looking forward to the build of the cockpit? Well the Ferrari, Thrustmaster’s latest model is extremely well-built. However, the actual desk clamp gives out a slightly flimsy feel to it. However, the entire gear shift, control rods and the pedals are mounted on a beautiful metal. Along with there are also the hard feeling buttons that are dotted around the centre of the wheel.

These, as well as the four more body parts of the body are completely programmable. The favourite control in the machine is the switch that is designed solely to rapidly flip through the car settings at the time when it is in race. It is dubbed as the “manettino” that resembles a similar dial in the life of Ferraris. It comes along with the five settings as well as the push button that can either modify the level of the driver assistance you receive. You can also fine tune the configuration of the car especially for the things such as rear axle differentials and traction control.

In case if you need the suspension for the subsequent lap, all you need to do is turn the dial on the left side and if you need some cornering then you might just flick the dial to the right. The drivers that are included come with the pre-configured profiles for quite a few games and they are of course programmable for the others. However, the best part is that it offers proper wheel-locking feedback; similar to that we used to have before the consoles with the USB parts exist. You can get all of this with the price as low as £80. This one is the clear winner produced from Ferrari these days.
