This is a review that was posted on the samen.co.za website so we thought we would repost it here so you could see just how good the Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition is!

Hi, I am a gamer. I like to play racing games, F1, WRC, GT4 and any other racing games available!! I play because I love the sense of winning, I love learning a course and going faster after each lap, along with playing the game for hours to pass time!

Some say it is a waste of time, but when you ride and you feel like you in the car that is the ultimate for me when it comes to racing.

Technology is giving us gamers a more real life sense on the screen, but what would be even better than sitting on the couch is getting that real life feeling of sitting in the car. Now unless you have been in a simulator, as I had the privilege of doing in Paris a few years ago, there is not many ways of getting that sense until now!!

When Bowline asked me to do a review on their new Ferrari Wireless GT Cockpit 430 Scuderia Edition (what a mouth full), I thought it would be cool, but I had no idea what an awesome experience this would be. The rubber-textured steering wheel is solid and detachable, buttons on the wheel is like the real deal (and they work), gearshift levers is metal, everything is programmable which took a little while to learn but not difficult, and this thing is solid. There is no movement when you step on the peddles, the peddles are as sensitive as you would expect to be when you racing a Ferrari, not that i know but it felt so responsive that you might as well have been in one, and this piece of equipment is sexy. You can now sit on your couch, legs stretched out, set up just the way you want, and off you go. The time I spent behind the wheel was much better than I expected.

Only negative I could ascertain was that there is was no feedback, which in my opinion does not detract from the overall experience. So take it from the master, the Thrustmaster is worth every cent and if you have a racing seat stacked away, you can make this a really great addition to your gaming controls.

This piece of equipment retails at R 4999.00, but if you want to get a special deal on one you can contact me, there is one or two available at a special rate from SA Men.co.za!! Send me a mail, [email protected]!
