    This is the direct replacement for the T500, but is fully compatible with all rims and pedal sets.

    Hopefully we get some real specs soon, instead of this marketing blabla. ("External TURBO power", "Motor Cooling Embedded system", "new Field Oriented Control algorithm" etc.) o_O

    I own a T.16000M Joystick which I use for Elite Dangerous. This one also uses this H.E.A.R.T.-feature which means a magnetic sensor instead of a potentiometer. This does of course not wear out and from my experiece with the beforementioned joystick is very precise.

    So this is at least a good feature.

    the t300 and t500 have this H.E.A.R.T. sensor too. What's the point of the TS-PC-Racer? A new algorithm, a TURBO-PSU (wtf?), and a new rim?

    I own a T300 for 1,5 years now. My next wheel will probably be a Fanatec (pedals already in use) and not another T300/500 iteration.

    LOL - didn't even know that although I own a T500 a lot longer than the joystick... :D

    There's alot of babble about the cooling system. Maybe it doesn't use an annoying fan anymore?

    I was confused by the fact that the discription doesn't mention a belt drive. That's why i thought it could be direct drive.
