Description
The JQ Werks Madtrace® GEN2 FORMULA Line Racing Steering Wheel System brings endurance motorsport-inspired ergonomics straight to your Porsche 981, 982, or 991 chassis - whether you're piloting a Cayman, Boxster, 718, or 911. Featuring a 290mm precision machined billet aluminum housing with high grip rubber, this system delivers authentic GT3/GT4 race car feel with zero compromise on control or feedback.

With over 20 programmable CAN bus functions, an OLED Driver Information Display, GT3-style RevLED shift lights, and up to three fully customizable driver profiles, this system puts complete command of your Porsche at your fingertips on the track.

FAQ
Is this steering wheel system legal for street use?
No. The Madtrace® GEN2 FORMULA Line Racing Steering Wheel System is designed exclusively for off-road, track, racing, and competition use. It is not intended for street use, and installation on any vehicle subject to state safety inspection is strictly prohibited. Removing the factory airbag also poses a significant safety risk - if you install this system, you must use a 6-point racing harness with a roll bar.
Do I need professional installation, or can I install this myself?
The FORMULA Line system is designed as a true plug and play installation - no wire splicing, no cutting, and no modification to your factory harness is required. The included harness kit, adapter hub, locking wrench, trim removal tool, and hardware kit provide everything you need. However, given the safety-critical nature of steering system installation and the complexity of CAN/LIN bus electronics, installation by a qualified motorsport technician is strongly recommended.
What is the difference between the "Control Hub Only" and the "Full Complete Kit"?
The Control Hub Unit Only option provides just the FORMULA Line hub itself, designed to integrate with an existing Madtrace Podium Line system. If you already own a Podium Line setup, this is the right choice. The Full Complete Kit includes every component needed for a brand new installation - including the quick release base, CAN bus module, harness kit, adapter hub, and all hardware - making it the correct selection for first-time buyers.
Which Line Up option should I choose for my Porsche?
Your selection depends on two factors: whether your car is a standard or GT model, and whether it has a PDK or manual transmission. If you drive a standard Cayman, Boxster, or 911 Carrera, choose the NON GT option matching your transmission. If you drive a GT3, GT3 RS, GT4, GT4 RS, GT2 RS, or Spyder, choose the GT option matching your transmission. Make sure to specify your vehicle's year and model during checkout.
Can I use this on more than one car?
Yes. The multi-profile system allows you to store up to three fully customized button layouts and LED profiles in the hub's internal memory. You can configure one profile for each vehicle and switch between them instantly with a single button press - no laptop or reprogramming required at the track.
What is the ENP Finish Kit add-on?
The optional ENP (Electroless Nickel Plated) Finish Kit upgrades your paddle shifters, quick release ring, knobs, and hardware to a premium nickel-plated finish. It is a cosmetic and tactile upgrade that gives the system a high-end, motorsport-grade appearance and a distinct look from the standard black and red anodized components.
