If you"re looking to build what amounts to a pretend car inside your living room, you"re pretty well covered. You can bag a force feedback steering wheel that will judder with every bump and rut in the road, pedals with realistic resistance to give you authentic clutch cramp and a sturdy H-pattern shifter so you can clatter satisfyingly up and down the box. Then you can bolt it all to a gaming seat for that perfect driving position and fully surrender yourself to sim nerd nirvana. There is one part of the driving control set, though, that remains woefully under-represented in most people"s rigs: the humble handbrake. Thrustmaster and Sparco are hoping to change that, uniting to produce the TSS Handbrake Sparco Mod, a consumer-targeted addition to your setup that allows for precision skids aplenty. Aimed at fans of rally and drift titles who up until now have been limited to jabbing a button on the steering wheel, the TSS gives you a proper fever lever" to yank as you"re negotiating mountain hairpins or kicking the tail out in a Tsukuba drift trial. The TSS is analogue, meaning it simulates a proper hydraulic motorsport handbrake rather than behaving like an on/off switch. If sideways is your preferred sim racing angle, this is a fantastically tactile addition to your rig and will work with just about any PC game. Sadly, console players need not apply for the moment.
