The Logitech WingMan Formula GP are a series of racing wheels released by Logitech August 30, 2000.[1]

Compare to the WingMan Formula, the Formula GP have numerouns changes. The new model now has a built-in table clamp, a first for a Logitech racing wheel. The Formula GP also sporting the different wheel and pedal designs.

Just like its predecessor, the Formula GP has a gear-driven force feedback model in a form of WingMan Formula Force GP. The Formula Force GP was released as a PlayStation-licensed product in Japan as the GT Force, with two limited edition models released.

All WingMan Formula GP 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. While the Formula GP requires an included game-port-to-USB adapter to connect to the PC's USB port, the Formula Force GP doesn't need an adapter as it now has a USB connector.
