Thrustmaster Grand Prix 1 Racing Wheel (1996) Unbox and Assembly

[@lsimpson50]

Great find! Was my first wheel back in 1999, starting with Grand Prix 2. Came with the throttle and brake on a single calibration axis, but later I modded mine to split throttle and brake calibration. Excellent compact, non-force feedback wheel. for the time.

How did you modify it?

[@TeamVVV]

Still got this one, my first PC racing wheel. Was handy back in the day.

[@chubbydidge]

That's the wheel i started playing GPL on. I loved the paddles for throttle and braking.

[@TeroD333]

Same for me! First wheel and first proper sim racing title!

[@RaceSimCentral]

Yeah they still had them until 10 years ago or so on a Ferrari Modena wheel. I had a Ferrari branded TM wheel I started GPL on that also had them. :)

@@RaceSimCentral This Wheel can work with Indycar 2 or GP2, GP3?

[@RaceSimCentral]

All the above! You can get gameport to usb adapters to make it work on a modern title, too, but it’s not as precise as you’d want ;)

[@smithed8408]

@@RaceSimCentral What is the reason for the inaccuracy?

[@Dethmeister]

I had the T1 or T2. Wheel with sequential shifting knob and gas and brake pedal base.

very interesting

[@TedMeat]

Awesome 👍 Now just play for a few days until the potentiometers get increasingly jittery and driving slowly becomes impossible 😅

[@JunhaoChang-tz8pc]

why?

[@junhaojun]

which can download Thrustmaster T2 Driver update?

[@smithed8408]

This steering wheel is separate from the base. Is there any way to modify the steering wheel? For example, modify it to a larger steering wheel.

[@RaceSimCentral]

The mounting column is really simplistic... I probably wouldn't risk adjusting it. You can get other 15pin wheels with larger rims that would be compatible on older systems.

[@smithed8408]

@@RaceSimCentral Do you mean that the steering wheel can be changed to a larger one, and can the T2 base also support it?
