Thrustmaster Ferrari SF1000 Review: The Ultimate F1 Sim Racing Wheel?

Here is our review of the Thrustmaster Ferrari SF1000 sim racing steering wheel. This is a replica of the real F1 steering wheel used by Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc. In this review, I put it through its paces and see if it's every F1 fan's dream sim racing wheel.

I'm running this with an T818. Works quite fine. The most important development were the replacable pedals.

[@tenbob1973]

Was lucky enough to get this before Christmas at £100 less than rrp. I've still not used it yet as I want to complete GT7 before I mount it up for F1 21 ('23 will follow once 21 is completed). Mounted on my wall atm via a 3D printed part and it looks so awesome!

[@tf1sebas585]

I love my SF1000 wheel. It is true it was a pain to get the firmware updated, but it was really worth it, previous firmware would reset the wheel midrace and lose control for a second in F1 23, there are no more crashes after the update. I highly recommend upgrading the paddle shifters, it feel less clunky and its more helpful during fast downshifting

[@downoldinho9459]

The main issue I have with the paddle shifters is the loud sound. Are the upgraded ones quieter ?

[@tf1sebas585]

@@downoldinho9459 I would say as much as 50% quieter, you cant go wrong with the upgraded ones. I honestly wished they never shipped the wheel with those loud and slow shifters

[@SimRacingSetups]

Good call. I’ve only heard good things about the upgrade shifters. Honestly updating the firmware is a nightmare!

[@downoldinho9459]

@@tf1sebas585 alright thanks for the info. This was my first wheel so I assumed they felt the same as other shifters it was just the sound that bothered me.

[@googleuser9193]

Are the upgraded paddles the T chrono paddles

[@smithy0901]

I have the upgraded shifters and it feels so much smoother and its alot quieter

[@apexvisiontv]

I don’t regret moving on from my thrustmaster gear but I do miss this. It was perfect for F1 and LMP cars. Could have got the 488 GT3 and T818 to go with this and been done

[@SimRacingSetups]

This wheel is ideal for formula style cars like you say. Really unmatchable within the price point.

[@apexvisiontv]

@@SimRacingSetups yeah I definitely miss it. Sometimes I wish I gave the t818 a chance. Cool video like always 😎

[@osmanseedat]

Can you make a video how to enter and exit pitlane manually please

[@TheEnrique911]

Do youhave a set up for Thrustmaster TS-XW Racer Sparco P310 Competition Mod Racing Wheel

[@ortiz2287]

F124, so I have the Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition with PS5 and TGT-II Base, during a race when my DRS is available and I click on the button on the wheel, nothing happens and I don’t go over 160ish or so. I reassigned the button several times and the DRS still doesn’t work. Another question, under settings, (controls, vibration and & force feedback) which wheel do you select that is listed? Because the SF1000 doesn’t show up as an option but it still works if I choose any other wheel. One last thing to mention, under settings when I am assigning the DRS to a button it does respond but not in races. I have found out I am not he only one with this problem.

[@Coturocks]

Do you know where you can get the best deal on this with the base because I don’t have much of a budget but don’t want to get a cheap, different version of this wheel.

[@gene2640]

Planning on buying this wheel along with the T300 base. Is the desk mounting kit compatible with all the base?. It only says T818.

[@SimRacingSetups]

Not sure is my honest answer. I've only tried it with the T818 and it shipped with the T818. Hopefully someone else in the comments can help you out with this one. Sorry!

[@djmrnorf4297]

I have this same steering wheel with the t300 base. Does work with F1 23 but needs to be remapped in game

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

Quality aside it looks fantastic.

[@kelanridder2490]

What are good pedals and wheel base with it?

[@peat6773]

I have the thrustmaster tx-sw racer base with the T-LCM pedals the base has very good force feedback and the pedals are excellent

[@KingAlbono]

@@peat6773can u send me a link to the tx-sw? i can only find a tx-xw

[@TheAnimal260]

Can you also just use a fanaten wheel base with that wheel

[@SimRacingSetups]

Not that I know of without a bit of tinkering.

Few years late innit?
