Just looking at getting these for our Ligiers.
What do drivers think of them, comfy, good grip, buttons easy to reach, dash easy to read etc etc.

Many Thanks
Graham

Having to put your fingers in dedicated holes was awkward at first then got used to it.
The MAIN thing is that the warning lights on the left and right of the steering wheel can be overlooked as you really have to depress your head to see them. ( the chinbar of the helmet obstructs an easy view ) Radical installed a large red warning light ( I put it in easy eye view ) that was worth its weight in gold.
Software problems - I had little or none but I know others did have regular problems

DD's comments are much more meaningful than mine, but for my personally-speaking tuppence worth, 'ergonomically' on the face of it, it doesn't do much for me .......... I'd rather not have small holes wherein digits can get more easily/quickly trapped than with big holes, albeit in the hopefully unlikely event of a steering wheel getting 'wrenched' out of one's hands, even if the rack is a 'quick' one.

Make sure you get one that is straight, otherwise the steering will be out laugh

I had one on my Juno, it worked fine but the thing is tiny and it was pretty tiring in endurance races TBH

A steering wheel like that would be way to technical for Charlie to use, give him a pair of mole grips he will still be quick!!
