Looks very professional, really happy you’ve made it to this point 👍

[lestercombs]

I’m 64, so I’ve had to turn the FFB lower. I use this as my physical therapy.

[craigerisbojangles]

I got this as my first wheel and I am not disappointed, I love it

[UFwho]

I ordered one yesterday. I used to have the CSW/Formula rim. I just want to say thank you for using the word “remarkable”. It really is the only word that gives me some indication that I didn’t waste my money. “Remarkable”... it says so much. Lol. I remember the power in the CSW. After seeing the review and hearing that word. I felt relieved that I don’t think I just went down a step.

[rafinieto]

This video actually really helped me on making a decision. I have a T-150 now but I’m definitely gonna start saving for this set

[kirk]

Well done mate 👍
I've got a T150 with the T3PA pedals only had it a couple of months after playing with a pad for 25 years lol

I love it it's so much better, next stop is Fanatec

[brieflean]

It’s awesome to see your success because it pushes us all to continue our dreams!! Keep up the great work and I love that you include the community into your content!

[nellojohsonphotography]

Great video. I have this wheel and came over from Logitech G29 an T300. You have to really be in shape when you start to step up the force feedback in this View it really exhaust is you. The CSL ELITE is absolutely brilliant and I hope to release a video very shortly about it

[ibrahimahmed]

I’ve had a t150 for the last few years that sadly broke but I have now put my order in for a fanatec thanks to this video

[jitsemiedema]

My brother has the tm300rs. I bought the CSL elite. BIG quality difference. I also drive acc. It's... Awesome. Lately I adjusted caster in the setup. And I felt te car bite more and the wheel load up in a different way. It genuinely gave me goosebumps.

[grandadssimracing]

Looks great Olie, but only had my g29 a couple of weeks so maybe next year! Content great as usual keep it up :)

[acehendrix]

Nice set Ollie. With all that force feedback you arms will start to grow 💪.

[LuukVdStreets]

It’s a fun to see how much of a leap in quality this set already is for you. The paddles for example are one of the weakest things quality-wise off that wheel but it’s incredible coming from a g29. Go for the APM upgrade and once you feel the magnetic shifters the original paddles feel really bad. Also the brake pedal the obvious upgrade would be a loadcell or the V3’s with the rumble feature. It’s going to be just as much of a leap for you as when you switched to this from the g29. Have fun with your new setup! And have fun upgrading and spending a good chunk of your savings on more wheels and other fanatec stuff 😀

[AshW]

I can only imagine the difference that feels like 👍 I use Dpad for steering always have done but this is a different universe let alone planet 😂😂😂😂 cool video as usual mate 👍👍

[CarlRaven]

It definitely is a step up from the Logitech G29! Which is what I've been using when trying out racing games on Sim rigs.

Great to see you like the set!

[ra_gorillagaz]

Great video as always mate. Fantastic quality and very professional 👌👍

[alistairwells]

Using a g29. Luv it but think it time to upgrade soon. Keep up the good work.

[suborpion]

Im very happy for you, that you have made it this far, Fanatec send you that.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👍. Your growing Ollie Glada to be part of this community..

I have a week with the G29, im really struggling o lot with, i need to practice a lot, can’t do daily races with it yep, I always lost, im a lot better with the DualShock😂😂😂😂

[MorfiusRacing]

Great review Ollie 👍 was what I originally was gunning for at the start of Lockdown 1 back in March. If only Fanatec allowed 3rd party sellers like BOX or Amazon etc. Not confident on their customer service records to sort out issues, that's why I opted for Thrustmaster, but yeah Fanatecs quality is soo awesome

[brieflean]

11:45 yo I need one after seeing this. Time to save up
