McLaren-Honda Announces New Partnership With Logitech, Teases "Plenty To Come"
Could future Logitech G wheels come branded with the unmistakeable speedmark? It sounds like it.

Will they start smoking and having fast fires come turn 1?

 

[PzR Slim]

This could genuinely be an interesting development for sim racers rather than just a gimmick.

 

[BLADErunner80]

Hopefully this will be an exciting collaboration not just a PR thing. I know McLaren have worked with various groups including a major children's hospital in the past creating data analysis and other tech for them.

 

[The Chosen One]

Will they start smoking and having fast fires come turn 1?

Hopefully not, Logitech should consider having a different engine supplier instead of Honda for the wheel.

So is the next Logitech wheel going to be really slow?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Didn't Stoffel Vandoorne have a steering wheel which showed no data yesterday?

 

[WyldAnimal]

PC, PS4, and Xbox support all In One. with Future Proof Up-gradable Firmware.
Direct Drive, Supplied with an F1 Wheel, with Quick Change Wheel Hub, for Interchangeable wheels.
Inverted F1 style Pedals, with Load Cell, Hal effect sensors, no More Pots. New H pattern Shifter Optional, and Optional Hand Brake, and an optional Button Box.

The New McLaren-Honda Logitech Wheel Looks like a real Contender for Sim Racing.

Let's hope it's Priced right.. Sub $1000 US I hope.















disclaimer: this is my Idea of what a New Logitech product should be.

How ironic would it be if the wheel design mimics the one found in a GP2 car.

 

[UnkaD]

The Honda engine's slow and breaks down. har har har

We get it, already.

Logitech trying to get back in the game! The G29 may become outdated soon...

 

[Tornado]

It's actually a USB light shaped like an F1 car.

 

[NFSCARBON1]

If it is a wheel, will FFB need to be turned off to stop vibrations breaking the motors?

 

[Flaren89]

Rumors say that next G31 will have the FFB motor of DFGT.

 

[RACECAR]

The Honda engine's slow and breaks down. har har har

We get it, already.

Funny thing is, reliability wasn't a factor in the race.

 

[Fat Tyre]

I'm guessing that they'll add a few orange stripes to the g29 wheel, slap a McLaren sticker on and charge one hundred bucks more for it.

 

[gtrotary]

I'm going to resist the urge to make a snarky comment and say that this could lead to some interesting collaborations. I want nothing more than to see McHonda become more competitive.

Hopefully it gets really cheap in price aswell.

 

[Mike_grpA]

I saw the headline and immediately thought "Well there goes Logitech's famous reliability then"

...Well, either that or Mclaren are getting so desperate trying to find ways to improve their reliability that they're now going to start using bits of old DFGTs in their F1 cars.

 

[MockngBrd]

what? no one wants merchandise from a slow team

 

[ALB123]

Isn't it already? It's like the product of an unholy union between the G27 and DFGT. That's incest, man!

 

[Simmpa]

It´s April 1st already?

Logitech trying to get back in the game! The G29 may become outdated soon...

G29 is a G27 in a new package It´s been outdated for years

 

[BlacqueJacques]

GP2, GP2 wheel!
