JOYTECH, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of third party peripherals, are planning a day guaranteed to set hearts racing, upon the launch of the astonishing JOYTECH Official WilliamsF1 Team Racing Wheel on the 17th of October.

Launching on PSone™, PS2®, Xbox™ and GameCube™, the JOYTECH Official WilliamsF1 Team Racing Wheel, has been shrouded in secrecy for its entire life in development, but now plans to be unveiled to an anxious audience of retailers, business partners, and enthusiastic journalists at the state of the art WilliamsF1 Conference Centre, located in Oxford England.

Peter Jackson, Product Development Manager, gives us a sneak preview of what to expect. "JOYTECH and WilliamsF1 Team have been working together on this project for the best part of a year, and have been meticulous in designing an innovative peripheral, that offers a range of unique features, and cutting edge engineering principles, never before seen on such an accessory. Working so closely with WilliamsF1, has allowed us to produce an exact visual replica of the wheel used inside the Williams FW23 Cockpit, and represents the final word in F1 authenticity."

The launch on the 17th of October will mark the official unveiling of the Racing Wheel, and the first opportunity for the industry to sample the new peripheral first hand. Karena Doherty, JOYTECH's Brand Manager reveals a little more about the day. "The WilliamsF1 Conference Centre is an exciting venue for gamers and racing enthusiasts alike. With a state of the art presentation theatre, interactive exhibits, F1 tour, and of course a chance to sample the Racing Wheel itself, the day promises to be one steeped in F1 history, and a glimpse at it's exciting future."
