What's better, the TH8RS or the F1 wheel?

[F1]

Hey guys, just wondering what you lot thing is better, the TH8RS shifter or the F1 wheel attachment for the T500RS!
Cheers!

I don't understand the question. One is a shifter and the other is a new wheel

What would you say is a better purchase?

 

[Mayaman]

TH8 shifter if you like shifting gears. The F1 rim if F1 games are your thing.

You can drive without the F1 wheel, but you can't H-shift without the TH8RS.

you cant shift properly with static paddles either.

thrustmaster really likes forcing people to buy both add-ons.

have you made your own experience Jos?

I use T500 for a month now and today I switched back to Fanatec GT3 for some testing, and guess what? I always missed the shifts because of rotating peddles.

It's just a matter of getting used to an practice.

The TT35 Monaco got me to thinking about the T500s static paddles when exiting the hotel hairpin using my Fanatec GT3, it took me a few tries to sync the wheel rotation and correct paddle actuation.

I think static paddles would have been advantageous there. At least with the normal rim, F1 rim would be different story.

Back on topic, TH8RS shifter will add to the immersion factor, but not necessarily translate into faster lap times.
