This Footwork–Arrows car had a disastrious 1991 season. Firstly it couldn’t fit its engine, the Porsche 3512 3.5 V12, but even when it did it was heavy, slow, and unreliable. By mid-season the team redesigned the chassis to fit a Hart-prepared Cosworth-Ford DFR V8 engine, but that only led to a season high 10th-place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix.
First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).

Thrustmaster have announced a T818 Ferrari SF1000 rim and Direct-Drive Wheel base will be bundled and sold at a suggested retail price of £999.99 / $1,099.99 / €1,099.99 from Thrustmaster’s online shop and usual resellers. The SF1000 wheel features an interactive 4.3-inch screen which can display up to 69 key pieces of information, 15 LEDs for engine speed, as well as flag warning lights and this will be paired with the T818, which was Thrustmaster’s first foray into direct drive bases. The T818 features a new ‘Fast Release’ wheel attachment system that is forward and backwards-compatible with Thrustmaster pedal sets, shifters, and handbrakes.
Pre-orders and launch will begin:
– Europe — Preorders: May 15 | Official launch: June 14
– Australia — Preorders: June 5 | Official launch: July 5
– North America and United Kingdom — Preorders: June 12 | Official launch: July 12
– Rest of the world: 2023
Selfishly I’m a little disappointed to see Europe this far ahead on the release window than other parts of the world.

Rennes, April 6, 2023 — Thrustmaster® is thrilled to unveil a brand-new bundle, featuring a racing wheel base and wheel rim proudly sporting the Scuderia Ferrari colors: T818 Ferrari SF1000 Simulator.
Ferrari took the opportunity to announce the new flagship product in Thrustmaster’s racing lineup at the launch of the Ferrari Esports Series 2023 season. Composed of the very latest direct-drive racing wheel base — T818 — alongside the iconic Formula Wheel Add-On Ferrari SF1000 Edition wheel rim and a versatile mounting system for desks, tables or cockpits, this dream-team bundle delivers breathtaking esports-caliber performance.
T818, with its new Rosso Corsa metal plates and elegant Scuderia Ferrari logo, provides 10 N⋅m of constant torque for smooth, powerful and turbocharged Force Feedback thanks to direct- drive technology. The extensive configuration options let the most experienced drivers race with truly unfiltered power — allowing them to feel all effects being transmitted by the game as they were meant to be experienced, for absolute control of their vehicle.
With up to 69 items of information available via its 4.3-inch / 109-mm display, 25 buttons (including 7 encoders) and 100% carbon fiber central faceplate, the Ferrari SF1000 wheel rim really needs no introduction. A 1:1 scale replica of the wheel from the modern classic SF1000 single-seater race car, it’s a legend in the sim racing world.
T818 Ferrari SF1000 Simulator — an officially-licensed Ferrari product, compatible with PC and with 100% of Thrustmaster’s racing ecosystem — has been crafted to meet the needs of the very best racing drivers, and appeal to even the most discerning Tifosi.
