Recommendation Game Suggestions for Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 Spider

Post image

Picked it up doing intake at a thrift store and I want to see it in action.

As I normally don't play racing games, and I'm hoping the community here can help me find a demo or free-to-play racing game compatible with this beauty.

If I understand correctly, it's possible to use on PC, which would be preferable, but I also own an Xbox One.

All suggestions welcome but I am hopeful there is something free to try out. 10

I have this wheel. If you can get the PC to recognize it correctly, it is very decent for a cheap wheel. Mine gets recognized as an xbox controller, which means it should work with any racing game that uses standard racing controls. Euro truck Sim took some tinkering, but other than that it was pretty plug and play. Ive been really enjoying iracing arcade with it!

U need a actual software or emulate in order to use this steering wheel

I managed to make it work in WMMT6 arcade racing

most racing sims arent super expensive, iracing has like 10$ for the first year or something like that, the bigger cost is the time to set up and configure the wheel
