I have the pro and i can tell you now, best wheel I've ever owned. The price is quite steep, but it's modelled similarly to the actual Artura GT4 wheel (probably where most of the money goes) and is made very, very well. No creeks, weird movement or stress signals. Fantastic.
Those clutch paddles are PERFECT in resistance regrds to us who can not use our legs for gas and brakes, so im very very happy of these. It demands A LOT of training to grive with your fingers as gas and brakes and your fingers hurt for 2 month before you fingers get use to it, espicial the gas throttle.
I doubt this really effects sales. I mean, if you're going to invest 1.6k in a wheel you'd look for the best one and if it REALLY bothers you, you can always get a sticker or even design a personalized one to cover the McLaren logo. But that's just my thoughts.
I’m Italian. I don’t really understand why McLaren logo should be a problem. You buy a real wheel based on McLaren Artura GT4. It’s a partnership, it’s like this.
As someone who races exclusively in VR, I'm torn between not being able to consider a wheel with a screen and then being happy that I won't feel upgrade envy and get eyes bigger than my budget! I'd love for someone to design wheels for VR, with ergonomics and design that cater to VR users who can't look at the wheel to find their way around. Probably not viable economically.
I own a GSI FPE, learned that it's not really worth it in the long run. I purchased the GT Neo, and I have a DDU (3d printed with vocore screen) that's a better, and less expensive purchase.
I race solely in VR and have a separate DDU so I can drink coffee and know things when I take of my VR headset. I think Cube Controls are the only ones who sort of take VR in account when designing new wheels. Separate dash saves a lot of money, you can buy the cheaper wheel versions with same quality but no dash. I like the look of the Cube Controls F-core, anyone here already tested that one in VR?
I love my Ultimate, Martin did an amazing Job, also constantinos the lovely dashboard integration is a charm and Daniel Newman profile for sure ..... Nice video Will.. 👍
The McLaren logo is ok to me. Besides, you see it as well in professional sports where individuals will use equipment from the competitors of their sponsor brands because it is what works best for them. Granted it doesn't happen often but some examples I can think of are when cyclists use a non sponsored saddle on their bike or use non sponsored shoes. In cases like these, you typically see the logo scratched off or taped over.
Thanks for such a detailed review, Will. As someone who is looking at upgrading to a different wheel and pedal set-up, reviews like this are so helpful 👍🏽👍🏽
As im watching this on my steam deck these wheels with larger and larger screens remind me of the deck itself. I wonder if some madman is gonna stick a qr on it and go racing
Appreciate the review. I've had the Grid RSR wheel for half a year now and the branding has never bothered me when driving an AMG or something, but I can see how it can be a turn off for some people.
@@georgma87 I wanted the prettiest wheel on the market and thought about it for 3 months before finding a "barely used" one for an ok price. All other replicas are missing "something" for my taste, but the Grid has it all in terms of looks. It has some shortcomings in terms of the usual utility (no funkies) and other wheels have more hardware adjustability (e.g. rotary pulse width), but it makes me more likely to jump on the rig every time I pass by and look at it. So overall yes, I'm happy.
I love the look of the wheel, very classy and smooth outline. I don't like the sharp lines and aggressive look of other wheels. So i wish there was a replica for half the price ($500 or smth) that looks exactly the same (without the logo 😃). But close in quality. The rotaries certainly cannot be cheaped out on, those MUST be tactile.
Great wheel, great review! Ps5 gamer here..If Fanatec survive, I hope they can add a Formula style wheel with dash that doesnt fit in a real car 😅 (= lower price)
Gotta say, at that price point (+1500USD), I much rather have a GSI Hyper P1 (screen) or a Hyper SL (same wheel though without the screen and a slightly different RPM + Telemetry LED layout). You get more rotary switches, more thumb encoders, and an extra 4 way switch (clickable and twistable).
Spoke with ascher and 12 left the factory missing the logos on the front ..mine being one of them ... I'm happy without it 1 of 12 limited edition now 😂
been waiting for this one for a while. a bit out of my price range but one can dream. edit: I bet real F1 wheels feel pretty toylike. weight is second only to aero there.
I’ve been waiting for new boosted media vid hoping it was the simagic P1000 review 😭 is it coming soon cause I’m wanting to upgrade and that’s the last one I’m waiting for you to do 😁 P.S great vid again as always 👊🏾
I have SOELPEC and Ascher Ultimate, personally I prefer Ascher for few reason like adjustable shifter arm position, shifter paddle quality, button key caps, etc. Both has pros/cons, you cannot go wrong with one or other. For me, not able to adjust shifter paddle location in SOELPEC is a deal breaker for me as the default location did not work for me.
The issue I have with the Soelpec wheel as well as other so called high end wheels nowadays is that they have plain old rotary encoders where they should be multiposition switches. I don't know why at that price they're cutting costs, but I won't touch their wheels for that reason.
@@rajeshkannan_s interesting. I had the same issue with Tue paddles but I moved them from the rear side to the front side as I have short fingers. Fixed the issue for me quite easily
Hi Guys as always a very nice review !! I have an Artura Ultimate my self paired with an Asetek La Prima Wheelbase with the QR . I love the wheel its feels just perfect. I do have problems with connection when I use the QR, when using the coiled cable there is absolutely no problems. I am in contact with Ascher ofcourse about this problem but I was wondering if you guys have had the same problem?!! Currently I can only use the wheel with the coiled cable wich is kind of annoying at this price point...
Hey guys, Love the channel thanks for all the effort. Mai I ask a really silly question? I am looking to get a base and wheel, just wondering how Iracing loads? Does the game need to get launched though the Base software, or does it get launched through the app and it reads the Base software? Thanks again!
I had the Ultimate and what really kills the wheel for me is the low quality Vocore screens that they put on such an expensive wheel. I'm not calling out Ascher on it as most wheels in this price range uses the same Vocore screen but the Ascher is marketed as using the same components and quality as the real steering wheel on the actual McLaren Artura car. Granted, the real steering wheel in the car doesn't have a screen on it, but if it did, I'm quite sure it won't be using a ~$50 Vocore screen. I'm aware that real automotive grade screens have much higher price tags and it will certainly more than double the cost of the steering wheels using them... I don't know, I just wished the screen quality was a bit better. The issues I had with mine was the LCD glow with off axis viewing of the screen. It was quite noticeable while turning the wheel during a race. Another bigger issue for me was the unit I received had the actual graphics of the screen off-centered. It was quite noticeable when using dashes with a line border around it such as the Lovely Dashboard. Apparently, this is the result of loose tolerances of the Vocores and are quite common with wheels such as GSI. This is why I returned mine. I still do really like the functionality of the wheel so I exchanged it for the Pro USB instead.
Any issues with the grips driving gloveless? I saw a Reddit poster who said the seam on his grips were so bad that they rubbed a callous on his thumb. Forced him to drive with gloves.
@@JHolistic77 I have no issues with it. I don't even notice it. Honestly, if he got calluses from that, it means he has a super death grip on the steering wheel. Even with sweaty hands and no gloves, the grips still feel very grippy.
I also agree with the logo on the wheels, don't like it as well but maybe you can remove it with acetone? I'm not sure would you have warranty issues in that case.
That’s a debate I’ve been going through screen or not too screen. My friends who have displays aren’t racing and looking at the display much at all. Maybe pit stop, yellow on ovals. I’m 20” from middle screen and 18 to the back of the wheel so really to close for me
The McLaren logo no bueno. I don’t drive a Mac ever… So how about putting a nice vinyl sticker over it? I’m in the market, not the display as I use all the in game dash except 1 car, Porsche RSR in iracing. I am looking at the Rexing V2 rim, beautiful rim, Zero reviews, talked to 2 owners though 🤷♂️
"I want to have some weight in my wheel so it doesn't feel toyish" Yeah that's dumb. that's not pure functionality. sim racing games are not twitch shooters, so some weight in wheel is ok. you could have discussion that having it is good; but then again, you can add inertia in wheelbase force feedback settings. there's settings in wheelbase software to help that. well i guess... i have a question: is too lightweight a bad thing?
Yeah don’t like the branding and I’m a McLaren fan. Will likely go for GSI Hyper SL, Rexing Mayaris V2 or Soelpec XR. Have a GSI X29, amazing wheel in itself
How do you compare this to mayaris 2. And are the mayaris and McLaren wheel compatible with the fanatec podium dd1 ps4 wheelbase ? What would you need to connect them ?
I’m personally allergic to the colour red, can you swap these red encoders/rotaries for a different colour? Also hope lovelystickers will create some stickers for the non dash wheel
No. Not sure what's going on with GSI. They said they were sending us a bunch oif their wheels to review back in 2023 and have gone completely quiet since.
dont get me wrong, thats cool that you cann extend your buttons with the rotary encoder, but bro. there are so freaking much buttons and rotarys and these thumb encoders on the wheel. why tf should i even bither doing this looool
As a complete newbie doing 1000,s of hours of research can i presume 99% of things reviewed here don't work with ps5?? As that's what I'll be playing on. TIA
Hello, very good review, but I think that 30cm is a little big for sim racing and that the grips should be able to be used without gloves. Regarding the logo, it is much nicer that Mc Laren has it instead of its Logo, which is not very accurate. It's a steering wheel to consider but I personally prefer the Cube Control Pro or the Mpx. Obviously it is my personal opinion. Very good review and thanks for your videos.
I also agree with the logo and I would defenetly both a wheel if it wasn't for the logo and 4" display, I think I'm going for the rexsing wheel but It depends on the review.
when simracing cost almost the same as real racing i dont get the point any more , 1500 euro for a wheel is insane in my book, but i do belive the product is amazing its just the price of high end simracing are really getting up there
I get your point, since this *is* expensive (but imo well worth it for me) but "almost the same as real racing" is stretching it a bit. As an example - doing one(!) 4h VLN race at the Nordschleife will cost around 6k€ for just the race (GT4 in this case). Practice, meals, racing equipment, a place to stay for the weekend and cost for the racing permit will still be on top of that. Skipping the 24h event, there's 6 events in a year. If you'd do all of those at this price you're looking at 36k€ for just race expenses. And that's for a bit over an hour of drive time during each race - if all goes well that is. 6k€ is currently what my whole rig roughly cost - including the Artura Pro wheel - and I get far more than one hour of drive time out of it. I won't deny it's an expensive hobby, cause it very much is. But it is the closest I'll ever get to driving a big variety of cars around all sorts of tracks I will at best see from the grand stands in real life.
Pair of slick tires which last for few hours cost more then direct drive wheel. We all burn money for passion and that’s the main reason world evolved 🤛 And I totally understand if those prices don’t make sense for many people but that is absolutely subjective topic. We all prioritize different things.
@@chepilevski100%. I was in real racing for years, even if you go the highest end sim racing equipment it’s not anywhere near real life price for real racing.

I agree with the McLaren logo. If it was removable they would probably sell a lot more.
I wonder if Martin will allow you to order without it?
I doubt this really effects sales. I mean, if you're going to invest 1.6k in a wheel you'd look for the best one and if it REALLY bothers you, you can always get a sticker or even design a personalized one to cover the McLaren logo. But that's just my thoughts.
You can apply alumiblack over it. It will anodize it black and make it look more stealth like. This is not reversible though
I’m Italian. I don’t really understand why McLaren logo should be a problem. You buy a real wheel based on McLaren Artura GT4. It’s a partnership, it’s like this.

I love a more lightweight wheel. I just got 2 weeks ago the new rexing wheel it’s amazing. Can’t wait to watch the review
As light as possible for wheel weight, a wheel that's too heavy makes my simagic alpha work harder then it needs to
I agree about the logo. If I ever the money. The one with the screen is at the top of my list! Looks so nice 😍
If they didn’t have the McLaren logo they would also be cheaper. Great review as always

"I want to have some weight in my wheel so it doesn't feel toyish"
Yeah that's dumb. that's not pure functionality.
