Description
The JQ Werks Madtrace® GEN2 FORMULA Line Racing Steering Wheel System brings authentic GT3/GT4 endurance motorsport ergonomics directly to your Honda Civic Type R (FK8/FL5) or Acura Type S.

FAQ
Is the FORMULA Line legal for street use?
No. The JQ Werks Madtrace® Racing Steering Wheel System is designed exclusively for off-road, track, racing, and competition purposes. It is not intended for street use, and installation on any motor vehicle subject to state safety inspection is strictly prohibited. Because this system replaces the factory airbag-equipped steering wheel, it must only be used in conjunction with a 6-point racing harness and a racing roll-bar. Always consult local laws and legal professionals before installation.
Does the FORMULA Line work with both automatic and manual transmission Honda Type R models?
Yes. The FORMULA Line is compatible with both automatic and manual transmission vehicles. For manual transmission (MT) vehicles, the optional magnetic paddle shifters can be added and programmed to enable additional functions beyond traditional gear shifting, giving MT drivers the same level of control customization as AT drivers.
What is the difference between the Control Hub Unit Only and the Full Complete Kit options?
The Control Hub Unit Only option is designed for drivers who already own a Madtrace® Podium Line System and want to pair the FORMULA Line hub to their existing setup. The Full Complete Kit includes everything needed for a first-time installation - the hub, quick release, CAN bus module, adapter hub, harness, and all hardware. If this is your first Madtrace® system, choose the Full Complete Kit.
What is MadtraceLAB and do I need a computer to use it?
MadtraceLAB is JQ Werks' proprietary software platform used to configure button layouts, update firmware, and expand features on your FORMULA Line hub via the built-in USB-C port. However, the equipped OLED Driver Information Display (DID) also allows on-the-fly button layout mapping and profile switching directly from the wheel - so you can make adjustments at the track without needing a laptop.
What does the optional ENP Finish Kit include?
The optional Electroless Nickel Plated (ENP) Finish Kit upgrades your paddle shifters, QR ring, knobs, and hardware to a premium ENP finish. This is a cosmetic and tactile upgrade that gives the system a distinctive premium look while maintaining the same high-strength billet aluminum construction.
Can I use this wheel system on multiple different cars?
Yes - the FORMULA Line's multi-profile system is specifically designed with this in mind. You can store up to three separate button layout and LED color profiles in the hub's internal memory and switch between them instantly. The system can be swapped between compatible vehicles and your saved profiles recalled immediately, making it ideal for drivers who run more than one track car.
