The T500 RS is a real driving simulator, combining power and
precision. Thrustmaster has drawn from more than 20 years of
expertise in racing wheels, with a single goal: to develop a
wheel and pedal set that allows users to go as far as possible in
the Gran Turismo 5 experience. The designers have taken into
account the expectations of the most demanding gamers, while also
adhering to the technical choices of the developers of this new
opus in the benchmark car racing series.
An Infinite Number of Driving Styles
------------------------------------
Completely optimized for GT5, the T500 RS meets the demand for
absolute realism. The first thing you'll will notice when setting
it up is its weight: 10lbs for the wheel, and 16lbs for the pedal
set. Another instantly visible feature is the omnipresent use of
metal--for the gearshift levers, the wheel's central spokes
section (12" in diameter) and the pedal set. This has required a
mechanical design with no compromises.
Realistic Wheel Handling
------------------------
Ergonomics were at the heart of the wheel's development, with an
eye on optimizing game play, performance and driving sensations.
The sequential gearlevers ed on the base feature large 6.7"
levers that are constantly accessible without letting go of the
wheel. The wheel itself offers a remarkable 1080° rotation. These
3 full turns are also adjustable, thanks to a motorized stop,
allowing the gamer choose the maximum degree of rotation
according to the type of racing circuit and the car being driven.
Metal Pedals with Two Driving Positions
---------------------------------------
The spacing and height of the 100% metal pedal set is also fully
adjustable and accommodate individual driving preferences by
offering 2 positions: "floor-ed" F1 style, or "suspended" GT
style. The brake pedal has been given extra attention, with
reinforced and adjustable resistance that lets users perfectly
tailor their braking with near surgical precision, and which
includes a removable mod. A textured foot rest, also crafted
entirely of metal, completes the pedal set. Gamers will notice
that having 3 pedals at their disposal not only enhances the
level of realism, but it also gives them a taste of what's to
come with the addition of an independent gear stick, which will
also be available from Thrustmaster in the coming months.

More Power and Precision to Push the Limits of Racing
-----------------------------------------------------
The T500 RS is a true racing simulator designed for the most
die-hard racing fans. Its power is unmatched, with Force Feedback
effects relayed via a 65W industrial motor, providing 150mNm at
3000 RPM. The Force Feedback mechanism is vigorous, fast-acting,
and extremely responsive. While the power is potent, the
integrated large dual-belt system ensures backlash-free and
smooth behavior.
Fans of even the most intense racing experience know that power
alone does not allow them to achieve the best performance. With
this in mind, the T500 RS provides total precision which never
decreases over time. The T500 RS employs the same technology
developed for the world's latest benchmark flight stick,
Thrustmaster's HOTAS WARTHOG. The magnetic sensor-based H.E.A.R.T
HallEffect AccuRate Technology is incorporated into the wheel's
steering mechanism. As a result the wheel is super-precise with
16-bit resolution and 65536 values on its steering axis.
With this wheel and pedal set, users will go farther than ever
before in the thrill of the ultimate racing experience. Get ready
for an extraordinary ride.
