Nice review Will. Thanks for going into this level of detail as it helps people make smart choices.

[bart_set]

Thank you for this review. I used this material to evaluate this steering wheel and I finally decided to buy it. Nice tutorial allowed me to quickly assembled the wheel and I am very grateful for that! I was looking for versatile wheel, something without flashy LED display and without too many buttons (minimalistic).

[coisnotpog]

Minimalism is really what sells this hub. After i watched this, and a few other reviews i ended up buying this hub, and buttons with out a wheels or paddles. I only use one button box with a wooden NRG wheel for drifting, and driving around. For that i think this hub was a big winner.

[AttilaTheHun]

Your conclusion really shows your integrity and honesty as an independent reviewer, no matter if you’re in the Fanatec program. Thank You.

[trick]

I’ve just built this following your video step by step, thanks very much Will much appreciated. 👍🏻

28:00 The shifters on the Universal Hub are now magnetic (v2)

[dingusmagee]

just got mine in! I decided on this for the versatility between gt and formula cars, so it was nice to be validated(as this is my first wheel and sim rig). Hope I don't miss the easy access tuning menu. I think I will eventually get a similar quality round rim for rally and drift, but that's way down the line.

[FlatTheMatYT]

Totally agree with you 100%
I have the r300 podium wheel and would love to be able access the tuning menu. Pidy i didnt see this review before buying

[ewold]

Love this wheel, use it together with the endurance module which came later. Bought it before the 911 R came out so the endurance module was more of an upgrade the me.

[sidepocket]

What is the advantage of the podium hub over the universal hub? You can still use the advanced paddle module with the universal hub and you'd get more buttons as a bonus.

[cylok]

totally agree with you re leather over alcantara, problem is not many nice leather wheels out there.

[rl]

nice to know I am not the only one that changed thoughts on alcantara...all leather now.

[TheMotorHubCarMedia]

I bet your rim collection is mega now lol I weirdly find these videos relaxing love a good old review/unboxing

[Steve]

Nice video Will. I sold my Porsche wheel because it is sluggish and slow to turn. You did have the solution in your hands there, but never assembled it. The perfect Sports wheel is the R300, advance module, single magnetic shifters and 300mm rim. Test it if you can and do review. It works fantastic. Keep up your great work mate 👍

[aeroplanekelly]

The gold leather marking the center point of the wheel is off-center on all R300 wheels, massive oversight by fanatec

[BLITZKRIEG]

I have a question mate. What is the weight difference between the BMW wheel and the new Porsche wheel with the button box? I always found the BMW a little too heavy.

[Putridlives]

Got this wheel updated drivers and now h pattern shifter not working any ideas? Thanks

[crasho]

Regarding the Carbon thickness for the APM. I Bought the Advanced podium module last week (Fanatec EU) and still received them in 2mm, so if someone wants them in 3, do not buy them (yet).

[goldengraeme]

What becomes the OK button? Its the tuning menu button on my others but there isnt one here
