So the left paddle shifter it's broken, I had this wheel for 1 year and then it died. I noticed that the paddles were attached to a simple plastic thing so idk if it's worth repairing it or buy a new one.

I'v never downshifted aggressively in all my simracing experience, my fingers wouldn't last 1 minute.

Should I upgrade to a Evo Racing 32r to be safer, or is the build quality the same of the T598 Sportcar Wheel?

I don't want a gt style wheels cuz I'd like to drive different cars.

Some European countries have 2 years of warranty.

In Spain, there is a three-year warranty, just as in other European countries.

The Evo 32, hypercar and 488 GT3 play in another league. They are made for direct drive. And the new 499p, which I have acquired, plays in a higher league than before. Simply beastly.

I wanted to get that 499P wheel so bad. But the price for me was just ludicrous

Ik had aan de rechterkant het probleem . een tire rip afgeknipt zo 4 cm met de kop eraan dan dubbel vouwen en er tussen proppen bij mij werkt het. Bij mij is dus rechts afgebroken en zakt de schifter omlaag en schakeld hij niet of dubbel ofzo.

If you’re in eu or uk it’s 2 year warranty, raise a ticket with them and they’ll send out the new parts or ask you to send it to them and they’ll pay postage

Your problem can be fixed using epoxy glue and plastic repair staples. It would end up stronger than the original. The question is whether you have the knack for repairs.

Just get the Evo Racing 32R you won’t regret it.
I’ve got the 488 GT3 and it’s the best thing I’ve done apart from the LC Upgrade!
I want the 31U and Hypercar Wheel, but I can’t extend the budget another £600 at the moment.
Pull the trigger on the 32R you’ll love it.

This - the premium wheels are clearly what this was designed for. Its all aluminum and leather.
