F1 Steering Wheel Weight

[Mihelich]

I was wondering if someone could tell me what the typical weight of typical steering wheels used in today's F1 cars.
I am not speaking about the load into the wheel but the weight if you were to hold the wheel in your hand.

Thanks,
Tom M.

I too want to know this, but PM showcar is a nice way to get the doubts cleared up.

There are a couple of people in the "Engineering Projects" section who have F1 cars. try sending a PM to them.

Hi, just picked up this thread and from the limited access I have I can tell you
BAR 03 show car wheel, no electronics etc is 1kg
IZOD Indycar wheel with no PI dash but with full paddles etc is 1.3kgs

In short depending on which wheel you have you could be in total about 1.6kgs if you include the quick release hub

The Amalgam replica steering wheels always feel about right weight wise so hope this all helps. Also please check out my other thread where I am trying to source parts for a Lola F3000 I now have
many thanks
