But the genre really comes into its own with a dedicated wheel/pedal setup. There are a number of affordable options out there, as well as higher-end wheels like theThrustmaster T300RS (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/21/thrustmaster-t300rs-racing-wheel/) we checked out earlier this year. Meanwhile Logitech recently announced the $400 G29 and G920 (for the PS3/4 and Xbox One/PC, respectively). But if those wheels just aren't quite high-end enough for you,Fanatec (https://www.fanatec.com/us-en/) is happy to help you out. I've been using the company's modular ClubSport line to see if it can help me tame the vehicles on offer in the racing sim Project CARS (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/22/project-cars-developer-is-already-crowdfunding-a-sequel/). It's about as top-of-the-line as racing wheels get, but I'm warning you right now: The best doesn't come cheap.
