To the owner of Formula Steering wheel
The new Formula Steering Wheel belongs to the last generation of AIM dashes for car racings and provides the driver with an high technology steering wheel with an innovative design. With anodised chassis, ergonomically shaped, hand-woven suede covered the Formula Steering Wheel has a real “racing look”. Thanks to AIM ECT (Easy Connection Technology), the connection with AIM products and external expansion modules comes in a click. Formula Steering Wheel allows to monitor RPM, speed, engaged gear, lap (split) times and custom sensors. Formula Steering Wheel, moreover, is configurable with Race Studio 2 software, that can be freely downloaded from www.aim-sportline.com.
