    I am rather disappointed about the display. 3 digits + RPM bar on a F1 wheel? Come on! :)

    yeah you are right, not a replica ... but very good looking and most probably a very strong wheel with the shape of a F1 wheel ... and affordable ... :)

    The Forza 4 wheel is also cool I think...

    well, cheaper then frex or ecci wheels at least ... and a very big upgrade from medium quality wheel like Fanatec Porsche serie or Logitech 25-27 ...

    I think they were talking of 700$ for the CSR wheel + paddles and shifter and maybe the double for the CRS Elite version which looks very good to me ... In fact the interview is not very clear, they are all mixed up when talking about the prices... But if it's really 1400 for the Elite version yes it's kind of expensive...

    and 'budget' is very relative ...

    I don't think the F1 wheel is included in those prices either. Just looking at it, only the quick release costs ~$150 at least.

    But in reality, let's wait on their official release and see. Hope this is just a hack job prototype on the front appearance of the wheel! The rest looks promising for the right price. :)
