Today we continue our series taking you from an entry level sim rig through a typical upgrade path all the way to ultra-high-end to help you find the sweet spot for your needs and budget. Today we're upgrading from the Logitech G923 to the Thrustmaster TS-XW wheel which comes bundles with Thrustmasters T3PA pedals and comparing the experience, as well as comparing to some other common hardware from Fanatec within a similar price range.

The new "CSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC" is the first product we've seen from Fanatec's official partnership with WRC. On the outside you'd be forgiven for saying it looks very similar to the P1 wheel, but under the hood there's some interesting changes, most notably a new Quick Release system. So let's check it out!

DISCOUNTS & FANATEC GEAR HERE: https://boostedmedia.net/discounts-coupons-codes/ IMPORTANT - Check pinned comment for some important corrections to this review.... About a week ago, I published a first drive and brief review of the FANATEC CSL Elite Wheel Base and commented that I felt the cockpit I had it installed on was not doing it justice and that I would revisit and do a more detailed review later on. Since then I've been running the CSL Elite Wheel Base in my daily driver and putting it to the test in a rigid cockpit to see how it compares to the ClubSport Wheel Base 2.5 that I've been using for the past 10 months. In this video, I take you through a comparison of the two wheelbases in terms of their specs and design features, then take you for a drive to describe the differences and where I think each excels or falls short. TIME STAMPS: 1:54 - Specification and pricing Comparison 11:09 - Hardware and Design Comparison 17:00 - Driving Test 32:10 - Final Thoughts If you're keen to pick up either Wheelbase, or anything else you've seen in this video, you can do so using the affiliate links below.
