A set designed for single-seaters

This bundle doesn't try to do it all, and that's a good thing. The R12 base delivers 12 Nm of torque in Direct Drive mode, the FSR steering wheel features a 280 mm Formula-style rim, and the mounting hub neatly connects the two. Right out of the box, it’s clear what the goal is: to race in F1, Formula, or prototype classes with equipment that’s clearly a step up from the entry-level belt-driven models. We installed it on our cockpit in just a few minutes, and the first hands-on experience sets the tone: that of a solid, well-finished package.

12 Nm, the sweet spot of Direct Drive

On the track, the R12 won us over where it counts: precision. You can feel every bump and every undulation in the asphalt, and the rumble strips come through with remarkable clarity—so much so that you can distinguish the high and low points of each rib even at high speeds. Going into a turn, the feedback remains sharp and direct, without the slightest hint of vagueness. The 12 Nm of torque places the car in that sweet spot many consider ideal—enough force to convey oversteer and weight transfer without becoming exhausting during long sessions. You need to know your limits; when pushing a heavy LMP or a high-downforce single-seater at full power, the engine lacks a bit of authority on the most extreme peaks. For GT3 and reasonable prototype racing, this ceiling remains well above what’s required of it on a daily basis.

The FSR: Real Equipment at Your Fingertips

The steering wheel is the standout feature of the whole package. The aerospace-grade aluminum housing with an anodized finish, the carbon fiber face, and the perforated microfiber wrap combine to create a product that exudes quality. The shift paddles and the dual-clutch system—featuring magnets and Hall effect sensors—feel right at your fingertips with a crisp, satisfying click. The encoders, capped in aluminum (not plastic), and the backlit short-travel buttons underscore the attention to detail. You can keep your hands in position without ever letting go of the rim to reach the controls—exactly what you’d expect from a Formula steering wheel.

The Screen and Ergonomics: A Drawback to Be Aware Of

The 4.3-inch screen displays clear, easy-to-read telemetry at a glance, with its data pages and RPM LEDs at the top of the rim. There are two drawbacks, however. The pages aren’t customizable—you’re stuck with fixed layouts—and, more importantly, switching pages requires a key combination that engages the clutch lever, which is impractical in the heat of the moment. This is a good candidate for a firmware update. Nothing deal-breaking, but it’s good to know before you buy.

Compatibility: PCs First

An important point to check before purchasing. This kit is primarily designed for PCs, where everything works right out of the box with the Pit House software and its detailed settings system. As for Xbox, support is limited to a specifically licensed steering wheel; the Formula FSR steering wheel alone isn’t enough to get the console up and running. And there’s no PlayStation compatibility with this setup. If you’re playing on a PC, no problem—that’s the bundle’s natural home.

Who It's For

It’s seen as the choice for the discerning rider—not necessarily a pro—who wants to take their skills to the next level and keep their gear for several years. It offers solid value for the performance it delivers, both in terms of build quality and ride feel—provided you’re willing to accept the torque limit on the most power-hungry cars and the closed ecosystem of the MOZA mounting system.
