Logitech has announced a new range of add-ons for its G Pro direct drive wheel, with a new “Racing Series” (RS) and partnership with Momo expanding the options.

Logitech G has thrown open the doors to its entire racing product line with a new add-on called the G Racing Adapter.

Logitech has just revealed the G PRO Racing Wheel, and it’s a product I never thought it would actually make. The company has a long history of producing reliable, entry-level sim-racing hardware, but it has always ceded the higher-end of the market to companies like Thrustmaster and Fanatec. With this new direct-drive wheel, all of that changes in a pretty big way.

In a surprise shot across the bows of high-end driving wheel manufacturers, Logitech has announced its new direct-drive G PRO wheel — and it will be available from today, for both Xbox and PlayStation.

The 2020 season of the Logitech G Challenge is coming to a close over the next couple of weeks, starting with the Europe/Middle East/Africa region grand final today.

Earlier this month, peripheral manufacturer Logitech brought out a new racing wheel and pedal set. Going by the official name of “G923 TRUEFORCE Sim Racing Wheel“, it’s the brand’s first new wheel in five years — following on from the G29 and G920 in 2015.

Right on cue, Logitech has revealed its new console and PC racing wheel, which it calls the G923.

Although we heard some good news yesterday that the PlayStation 5 would continue to support PlayStation 4 racing wheels, it looks like Logitech has something else up its sleeve. The brand, officially called “Logitech G” as the gaming division, is due to unveil a new racing wheel tomorrow, which could be its next-gen offering for later this year.

If you fancy following in Igor Fraga’s footsteps and becoming the Logitech G — and McLaren Shadow — champion, your opportunity starts here.

We know a mouse is the last thing you want to play a racing game with. However, we also know that many of you are more than just sim racers; you’re gamers through and through. This is why we decided to check out two of the latest mice from Logitech — the G703 and G903.

One of the great bugbears for driving game fans is wheel compatibility. Unless you’re willing to spend huge sums, one wheel won’t work on both major consoles. And, it seems, old wheels are obsoleted every time a new console comes out anyway.

While we were at E3 2017 last week, we got time behind the wheel of some of this year’s most anticipated games. One of these titles was Project CARS 2, shown off in the Bandai booth. On the show’s first full day, we sat down with Slightly Mad Studios for more info on the game.

Early last month McLaren-Honda revealed its entry into the world of esports, known as World’s Fastest Gamer. Partnered with peripheral manufacturer Logitech, WFG aims to help the F1 team find the ten fastest gamers in the world.

As we edge ever closer to June, Codemasters has released the full supported racing wheel list for DiRT 4.

Following a short spell of mystery and intrigue, McLaren-Honda has revealed that it has entered the world of esports.

You’d have been forgiven for thinking that last month’s announcement of a partnership between Logitech and McLaren-Honda would amount to little more than a name on a car.

Recent developments in the automotive industry have pointed toward self-driving cars being closer than we might expect. Firms like Alphabet (the parent company of Google) and Apple are leading the way in autonomous car investment.

One annoying issue that sim racers faced when the PlayStation 4 was released was steering wheel compatibility. Owners of wheels like the highly popular G-series from Logitech (G25, G27) or older Fanatec items quickly found out that they wouldn’t be able to use their existing wheels to play racing games.

The first race of the 2017 Formula One season is done and dusted (check out the results here). McLaren-Honda used the season opener as an opportunity to announce its latest partnership, with a name that should be immediately recognizable to sim racers.

Indeed, who could have seen that coming? The new adapter from Thrustmaster features compatibility with non-Thrustmaster pedals as long as they feature a DB9 connector. That naturally includes Logitech and its G-series pedals.
