News Testing the Fanatec P1 racing wheel on Project CARS

News Editor

Posted on 15/05/2017

Game: Project CARS

Platform: PC, PS4, XBox One

Publisher: Bandai Namco

Release Date: 06/05/2015

We recently jumped on the Xbox One version of Project CARS to give Fanatec's P1 racing wheel a decent test.

We take an open-wheeler for some laps around the fantastic Watkins Glen track and we couldn't help but be impressed with the racing wheel with its satisfying force feedback and premium feel.

On the subject of premium, the cost is fairly substantial but then you get what you pay for with racing wheels, and making an investment here will certainly give you years of enjoyable racing on the Xbox One.

You can view the Project CARS action below along with our impressions on the Fanatec racing wheel.
