| Logitech WingMan Formula GP |
The Logitech WingMan Formula are a series of racing wheels released by Logitech since 1998.
The WingMan Formula is Logitech's first racing wheel ever released. The Wingman Formula has bungee cords for steering centering, and has potentiometer for steering position tracking. It also come with a pedal set with 2 potentiometer-based pedal.
A model with a single-motor-gear-driven force feedback, the WingMan Formula Force, was released in 1999.
All WingMan Formula models are supported in games that incorporate Logitech's steering wheel SDK, but requires specific version of Logitech Gaming Software to be installed in order to work. Both model can be connected either directly to the game port or to the USB port via the included adapter.
