Precision Sim Engineering GT3 Wheel Review

[@jstoezel]

I’m not even watching until there’s an in depth SRG special review of Barry Rowland’s fantabulous hair.

[@Rookie811978]

Hahaha good call...😂

[@andrekrause6581]

You are like the James May of Simracing. You need more views, Sir!

[@haaake]

I could listen to Barry guessing thread sizes and talking about tolerances all day long. "And now we've arrived at the knob feel section of the review process".

[@alpha007org]

He has "ASMR"-like voice, doesn't he?

[@ahmadyassin3182]

The intro always hit me 😍

[@simracer1386]

Just ordered one, you talked me into it !

[@kurtb369]

Barry, we are still waiting for your long awaited Fanatec DD1/2 review ... you’re almost our go / no-go benchmark. 👍😎

[@TheStigmacher]

Yes please! I hope this comes soon.

[@Mikey6048]

It won't be a fair review until the Fanatec software is finished, unfortunately.

[@danielmt6635]

@@Mikey6048What's wrong with their SW?

[@simracinggarage3026]

I am waiting for Fanatec to release the software.

[@kurtb369]

@@simracinggarage3026, fair answer Barry. But would the Fanatec Podium software "unlock" any hidden features of the DD hardware which the current software isn't doing ? Asking this, just to understand better and yes, looking to purchase ...

[@alpha007org]

I am like a dog looking at a piece of meat through a glass... Superb wheel. Nice in-depth review.

[@yurimolotov5886]

Still the best reviews. And no adds. Class a thanks man

[@larrymcdonald2317]

I am so glad you did this review. I have the same wheel at home in my closet waiting on my SC2 to arrive. Glad Simon, sent you a wheel. I wonder if he sent it at the same time he sent mine out. I opened my box and seen the rim and also I have an envelope in it, I didn’t see that connector end in my box. I am sure it’s there. So I will have to look when I get home on Thursday night. Great review as always Barry!! You comment on how great his encoders are, but what people may not also know is that Simon is very, very easy to work with!!! He is always happy to answer questions. I found it easier for me to message him on Facebook. And he’s very quick with replies.

[@simracinggarage3026]

Actually, this wheel belongs to fellow Sim Racer. He was kind enough to send it to me for the review. It is being returned to him now that the review is finished.

[@mymusings5948]

Another great review, thanks Barry! I own the wireless version of the GT3 and it is spectacular. The wireless implementation is rock-solid and far superior to the Bluetooth implementations I've tried in the past. I can't wait til Simon comes out with wireless versions of his formula rims.

[@Mikey6048]

Barry you make my Mondays at work go buy more quickly with your awesome reviews. Thanks!

[@dtrracing5233]

Great video man. Always loved your channel it’s extremely helpful when looking for that next wheel to add to my collection.

[@MalcomMcLeod]

We need a Simetik K2 sim rig review

[@1701nero]

Barry, I love your video's, In fact I have just bought the GT1 version of this wheel based on your review. There is one thing I must share with you....When using a vernier caliper to measure, you should only use the front most machined "Sharp" edge, further back the tool increases inaccuracy

[@bgssim5981]

a good review I am thinking between two wheels, Cube Controls GT Pro Sparco and Precision Sim Engineering GT3. Which one do you recommend more? And do you have any review plans for the SimWorx Pro Series GT V3 LC Pedal?

[@Mike_FTR_273]

I ordered the wireless GT3 wheel a few days ago. Super excited to turn some laps with it

[@faKeeeeeR]

i ordered my LM-Pro couple weeks ago. Cant wait to get my hands of :)

[@ulyssestripolguin7508]

I love this channel thanks for all the reviews!!!!

[@fetB]

10:40 build my own and used several iteration of such encoders, but then bit the bullet and got myself some CTS288 which those probably are. No bouncing, no inaccuracy anymore

[@EdLeake]

Hi Barry, Do you prefer this to your Cube Controls GT Pro Sparco?

[@simracinggarage3026]

Both are great wheels. I like the lighted buttons on Cube's stuff. At the end of the day, I would prefer the PSE GT3. It has the edge when you look at the finer details IMO.

[@reptilexcq2]

Thanks Michael Douglas.

[@bucho9979]

Thank You Barry

[@f15active]

I've been looking forward to you reviewing PSE gear. I had the pleasure of trying out the GPX last year, and it was something pretty special. Would really enjoy watching you review that wheel and/or the LM-Pro. In the meantime I'll enjoy this breakdown of the GT3, thanks!

[@Jonah-Hosein]

Do wheels without bases have a technical name? Like a category name they fall under?

[@dr_arcade]

I want to buy both GPX AND GT1. Can I easily replace them?

[@P3ktoRis]

did you find out who produces rotary encoders?

[@alexportugal1212]

Got the Gt1 wheel, best steering wheel ever

[@viktorpowers118]

Thanks for nice review

[@albertotaras141]

Hi Barry, when will you try the GPX model from Precision Sim Engineering?

[@simracinginsider2231]

As always Barry, GREAT REVIEW! Love these wheels! Gotta ask...what pedals are you currently running? Couldn't tell by the close up when you were showing the zip-tie USB cable. EDIT: Are those the wave impetus pedals? Thanks! :-)

[@simracinggarage3026]

Yes. The Wave pedals

[@tomdemeester7076]

900 pounds :D it better feel good, holy cow!

[@whosthisguythinkheis]

I was really hoping to find out what encoders were used in that, anyone have any idea for what are really good encoders to use on a wheel for thumb encoders that provide good feedback? Trying to DIY a f1 simwheel for myself

[@josevelazquez4966]

I see you mounted the Bodnar back on your rig. Could this be in anticipation of a Bodnar vs SC2 Ultimate review?!?!

[@simracinggarage3026]

Still trying to source an Ultimate for testing.

[@chillil321]

You have to do a review or joint review on the many different gloves that you have tried.

[@josemalbran2815]

i have it, the only problem i have is the some of the bottons if u dnt hit dead on center they flicker, for example one of mine is set to look left for iracing and while im driving i press it but it flickers insted of just stay looking right. If i press perfect no. but while racing u want just a quick look not a flikering left center left center.

[@MrMarlby]

Have you contacted PSE about this? I think this can probably be addressed via timings on the board.

[@mvagusta]

I’ve worked it out! Barry looks and sounds like Michael Douglas... 😂

[@PandorusFightStick]

Barry can you do review of the OSP wheels please !!!

[@RobinRein]

Can you test the Podium?

[@tome8169]

Hi, i was wondering if i could use this on the fanatec clubsport v2.5 wheelbase?

[@simracinggarage3026]

You would need to use the Universal Hub adapter from Fanatec.

[@tome8169]

Could you provide me with a link? Is it the podium adapter?

[@simracinggarage3026]

The Podium adapter would be better, as it is a bit smaller in diameter and more compact overall. fanatec.com/us-en/steering-wheels/podium-hub

[@sergeymironenko9871]

Mine shipped Friday... is that my wheel? Haha.

[@smoove7932]

I wondered if you have used VR before and your thoughts vs triples if so?

[@TurnRacing]

baaaaaaaarrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@alextanner3500]

Review the LM-PRO!

[@simracinggarage3026]

If Simon would send me one.

[@haaake]

👀 (me looking to see if Barry also has the GPX hiding somewhere in the background.)

[@simracinggarage3026]

I hope to get one of those in for a review in the future.

[@_pjd]

For that price, I would have liked an Alcantara option.

[@zanewalker1487]

You should make your own wheel

[@02semiata]

So no more simucube2 ?

[@simracinggarage3026]

Still have it.

[@02semiata]

Happy to hear that :) your setup is the most analyzed one online lol. Do you feel the simucube2 will be your everyday wheel or the bodnor

[@AngeFIN]

That offtrack was BS

[@ferrariftw]

this is a company that is well known to everybody from years back.they were the first making these kind of wheels,before sam maxwell and way before martin and others. but because they were overpricing their products and especially the first gen of their wheels, those who remember had aluminum paddle shifters and back plates and were ridiculously expensive.and then came sam and later martin with much better products with real carbon and great prices for all.don t forget that they were in collaboration with leo bodnar who is also overpricing his products according to competition and now we have simucube that to me at least that i have try both i really dont see any deference to justify that deference in price.honestly i think both of them and leo lost a chance to become No1 in sales and way ahead of the competition especially because they came out first.Propably they think they have the holly grail.to me they are completely off the market.you have to be natch to spend what they are asking when you have so many choices in products with better prices and better quality materials.

[@Precisionsimengineering]

ferrariftw Well said sir...
