Project Motor Racing is really set up to be a pretty hardcore racing simulation. With that in mind, choosing to race with a wheel can provide a better experience than a controller. That’s not to say you cannot use a controller with PMR, you absolutely can. And if you do plan on using a controller, I’d recommend checking out our Project Motor Racing controller settings to help dial things in.

But if you are racing with a wheel, you can’t get much better than using an Asetek wheel base. Any of Asetek’s wheel bases are ideal for Project Motor Racing, although they are only PC compatible currently, so you won’t be able to go down this route if you are racing on PS5 or Xbox. View our Project Motor Racing wheel compatibility list to see all Xbox and PS5 wheels that are compatible.

Asetek now has five individual wheel bases following the launch of the more budget-focused Initium lineup. In this guide, I’m going to share the best force feedback settings with all of Asetek’s wheel bases.


How to set up an Asetek racing wheel in Project Motor Racing

Setting up any Asetek wheel in Project Motor Racing is pretty simple. when you first start PMR with an Asetek wheel connected, you are guided through the calibration process, which is very similar to iRacing’s.

After this, you can head into the settings, and in particular the “Input device settings”. This is where you’ll find all of your button mapping and force feedback settings. I’d recommend starting with the button mapping, as the initial wheel calibration process only configures your shifter inputs.

Setting up inputs to control your car’s traction control, ABS, on screen dash and more will really help you out on track. After you have done this, head into the input device settings to start tinkering with your force feedback.

Below are the recommended settings that you should use with an Asetek wheel in Project Motor Racing. Asetek themselves provided their recommended settings, and we have tinkered with them ever so slightly in places to further refine the force feedback.

I’ll start with the settings for the La Prima, Forte and Invicta wheel bases. Then I’ll look at the Initium force feedback settings.

Asetek Project Motor Racing FFB settings: La Prima, Forte, Invicta

Now I want to look at the less powerful Initium racing wheel. The two Initium wheels are both direct drive, much like the more premium options. However, they have a maximum output of 5.5Nm and 8Nm depending on the model.

This means we need slightly different settings in a few areas to maximise the force feedback feeling on track in Project Motor Racing.

Which Asetek racing wheel is best for Project Motor Racing?

Honestly, you cannot go wrong with any racing wheel in Asetek’s lineup. Whichever racing wheel you choose will perform well in Project Motor Racing. View all of our recommended racing wheels for Project Motor Racing in our complete buyer’s guide.

I’d recommend choosing the wheel that is best suited to your budget. If possible, opting for the more premium La Prima, Forte or Invicta wheels will yield better performance than the smaller and cheaper Initium wheels.

My pick of the bunch would be the Forte wheel. It is in the mid-range of the three more premium wheels, and performs excellently across every racing sim I’ve tested it with.
