CORE F1 Display steering wheel
Opens the wheel as a 3D model: rotate it, press buttons, try the rotary switches and the display.
The 3D model needs a mouse and a larger screen. Please open this page on a computer.

Display steering wheel
The CORE F1 combines driver controls, a colour display and a shift light in one part. It only needs a power supply and at least one CAN bus.
Launching in Q4 2026.
Available for pre-order: €2,999 incl. VAT
What sits on the wheel
- Colour display 4.3 inch, 800 × 480 pixels, 850 cd/m². Pages are designed freely on the PC and stored in the wheel.
- 18 RGB LEDs Twelve above the display, three on each side. Colour and shift point of every single LED can be set.
- 10 illuminated buttons Latching or momentary, set per button. The backlight is freely configurable as well.
- 2 menu pads Up, down, left, right and press, plus a relative encoder.
- 3 rotary switches Absolute, 12 detents each. When turned, the display shows the new position.
- 2 side encoders Relative encoders at the thumb, for adjusting while driving.
- Paddles Two shift paddles and two analogue paddles with 0 to 100 %, depending on the version.
A standard CAN stream sends every control onto the vehicle bus by itself, and its ID can be set. All other messages can be configured freely, for receiving as well as for sending.
All settings are made on a PC over USB or CAN while the wheel stays installed. Logic sequences are built graphically too, without programming.
The display shows what you set up
A live editor in the PC software makes setting up easy. With the wheel connected it shows every page with live data.
Bundled template with rev counter, gear and lap times. Every field can be bound to a signal of your own.
Built in the page editor
The page editor is part of the Cronesix Configuration Software. Widgets are dragged onto the page, bound to a signal and written to the wheel.
You can design pages entirely your own, with your own images and your own fonts.
In the simulator too
On a PC the CORE F1 works as a wheel for racing simulations. The connection runs over USB and SimHub, and the SimHub plugin is always needed for it.
The wheel switches to simulator mode by itself as soon as a PC with SimHub is detected. From there you have two ways.
- AutomaticDisplay and LEDs show the data from SimHub by themselves, on ready-made display pages. Nothing needs to be set up.
- Like in the carYou link the signals from the game by hand. The wheel then behaves exactly as it does in the car, with the same pages, the same logic and the same settings.

Frequently asked questions
Does the wheel have to be removed for setup?
No. Every setting of the CORE F1 is made on a PC over USB or CAN while the wheel stays installed in the car.
Which software do I need?
The free Cronesix Configuration Software for Windows 10 and 11. No driver is needed for the USB connection.
What does the wheel need in the car?
Only a power supply and at least one CAN bus. The CORE F1 has two CAN buses, Classic CAN at 125, 250, 500 or 1000 kbit/s.
Does the CORE F1 work with my engine ECU?
The wheel reads any message on the CAN bus. A CAN Input in the logic editor sets which signals it takes, straight from a DBC file or from your own definitions. DBC files are included for Bosch Motorsport MS 4 Sport, ECUMASTER EMU Black, MaxxECU and MegaSquirt, among others.
Do I need a GPS receiver for lap times?
Yes. The wheel detects tracks by the position a GPS receiver on the CAN bus provides. It then times laps, sectors and acceleration runs itself.
Can I use the wheel in a simulator too?
Yes. On a PC the CORE F1 works as a sim racing wheel over USB with SimHub. The same wheel serves in the car and on the rig.
Can I design my own display pages?
Yes. The page editor of the software builds your own pages with your own images and fonts. Templates such as Apex and Combustion are included.
