![]() It looks as though it was pinched straight from Lewis Hamilton’s championship-winning Mercedes. This is the official wheel of the F1 Esports league and for good reason. Priced at around £1,600 before you factor in pedals, it’s almost double the price of most top-end wheels, but it still packs in serious value. One of the most expensive setups you can buy right now, the Podium Racing Wheel for PS4, PS5 and PC is a statement of intent for the serious sim racer. Launch titles include Assetto Corsa Competizione, GRID and Gran Turismo Sport, with F1 2020 and Dirt Rally 2.0 to follow. It will work with other games but then you'll only get the same type of feedback as you got from the G920/G29. The only caveat to all this is that for the swanky new TrueForce system to work fully, it needs built-in support from your favourite racing game. The force feedback motor inside is the same, too. Build quality remains very impressive, from the slightly refined stitched leather steering wheel cover to the metal gear shift paddles behind the wheel. Otherwise, the wheel is similar to the G920/G29 but that's no bad thing. The new LED rev counter is a handy addition, too, and it's good to see that Logitech has brought over the 24-point rotary selection dial to the Xbox version of the wheel this time around. There's also now a stronger, more progressive spring in the brake pedal and a programmable dual-clutch system to help you launch off the line faster than ever. ![]() Not only can you feel strong resistance as you pull left and right on the wheel, but you can also feel what's going on under the wheels of your virtual race car as tyres scrabble for grip and rattle uncomfortably over kerbs of your favourite race track. The new and improved TrueForce force-feedback system is the star of the show, using games' physics engines and audio output to provide a more realistic experience than most other wheels can deliver. Available on Xbox and PC or PS4, the Logitech G923 takes what makes the budget G920/G29 wheel so good and adds a host of premium features.
