McLaren and Logitech launch $900 Formula 1 simulator bundle featuring papaya McLaren colors and direct drive technology.

McLaren and Logitech revealed the RS50 McLaren Racing Bundle at the G PLAY 2026 event, offering a complete wheel-and-pedal setup in McLaren's signature papaya and black colors. The PlayStation/PC version costs $899.99, while a PC-only variant runs $799.99 without Sony compatibility requirements.

The bundle includes the RS50 Base with 8 Nm peak torque through Logitech's TRUEFORCE force feedback system, paired with the RS Formula Wheel McLaren Racing Edition styled after the 2024 MCL38. The package features magnetic paddle shifters, fully integrated controls, and Bruce McLaren's words printed on the wheel's back.

The RS Pedals include a 75kg load cell brake that measures pressure rather than travel distance, plus a contactless Hall-effect accelerator sensor designed to resist wear and drift. Pedal spacing can be customized, with an optional RS Clutch Module available for those seeking three-pedal setups.

Richard Neville, Head of Simulation at Logitech G, emphasized that sim racing captures the emotional connection between driver and machine rather than just replicating physics. The bundle aims to translate professional team demands into accessible equipment for fans wanting to experience Formula 1 driving challenges.
