Madtrace® GEN2 FORMULA LINE Racing Steering Wheel System For TOYOTA/SUBARU GR86/BRZ


Description

The JQ Werks Madtrace® GEN2 FORMULA Line Racing Steering Wheel System brings authentic GT3/GT4 endurance motorsport ergonomics directly to your Toyota GR86 or Subaru BRZ cockpit. Built around a 290 mm precision machined billet aluminum housing finished in black and red anodizing, this system delivers the look, feel, and function of a genuine race car steering wheel - with none of the wiring nightmares. It is the industry's first steering wheel system to integrate both CAN bus and LIN bus within a single hub, communicating flawlessly with your factory electronics in a true plug-and-play setup.

Whether you're attacking apexes on track or competing in time attack and club racing events, the FORMULA Line puts every critical function - shift lights, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, high beam flash, and more - right at your fingertips. The onboard OLED Driver Information Display (DID), fully customizable RGB button lighting, and MadtraceLAB software make this one of the most advanced and driver-focused racing wheel systems available for the GR86/BRZ platform.


Key Features

  • 290 mm GT3/GT4-Inspired Wheel: Precision machined billet aluminum housing with smooth, high-grip rubber - built to deliver authentic race car ergonomics on the GR86/BRZ chassis.
  • 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction: The wheel, adapter hub, and quick release are all machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with black and red anodizing for strength, durability, and a premium look.
  • Dual CAN Bus + LIN Bus Integration: Industry-first single-hub integration of both CAN bus and LIN bus ensures seamless, factory-level communication with zero splicing or custom wiring.
  • 20+ OEM CAN Bus Functions: Access over 20 chassis-dependent functions beyond the factory wheel - including high beam flash, wipers, turn signals, TC adjustment, shift lights, and more.
  • RevLEDs GT3-Style CAN Bus Shift Lights: Zero-delay shift lights built directly into the wheel flash red at redline, giving you instant, race-accurate shifting cues on track.
  • OLED Driver Information Display (DID): Mounted beneath the RevLEDs, the DID shows real-time telemetry data including live speed, and enables on-the-fly button layout mapping and profile switching without a laptop.
  • MadtraceLAB Software + USB-C Port: Fully configure, update, and expand the system via MadtraceLAB through the onboard USB-C port - future-proofing your setup for new features and functions.
  • 3 Fully Customizable Driver Profiles: Store up to three complete button layouts and LED color profiles in the hub's internal memory - perfect for different tracks, conditions, or even swapping between cars.
  • 8 Front-Facing Buttons + Dual Joystick Knobs: Map over 20 CAN bus functions across eight front-facing buttons and dual joystick knobs for a completely personalized control layout.
  • Profile Quick-Switch Button: Instantly swap between saved button maps and LED profiles with a single press of the dedicated right bottom front-facing button - no menus, no delays.
  • Motorsport-Grade Magnetic Paddle Shifters: Fully programmable 6061-T6 billet aluminum magnetic paddles - assign any function across all four paddles, not just shifting.
  • For Track/Off-Road Use Only: Designed exclusively for racing and competition - requires 6-point racing harness and roll bar when in use.

Options & Which to Choose

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 motor vehicle subject to state safety inspection is strictly prohibited. Because it is a solid wheel without an airbag, use of a 6-point racing harness and a roll bar is strongly required whenever the system is in use.

Do I need to splice any wires for installation?

No splicing is required. The FORMULA Line system is a true plug-and-play solution. Its dual CAN bus and LIN bus integration communicates directly with your GR86 or BRZ's factory electronics using the included harness kit - no custom wiring, no cutting, no headaches.

What is the difference between the "Control Hub Unit Only" and the "Full Complete Kit"?

The Control Hub Unit Only includes just the FORMULA Line hub and is designed to pair with an existing Madtrace Podium Line setup. The Full Complete Kit includes everything needed for a brand new installation - the Control Hub, Quick Release Base with Integrated Chassis PCB, CAN Bus Integration Module, Harness Kit, Adapter Hub, and all required hardware. If this is your first Madtrace installation, choose the Full Complete Kit.

Can I use MadtraceLAB to update the system without a laptop at the track?

Yes. The included OLED Driver Information Display (DID) allows you to perform on-the-fly button layout mapping and profile switching directly from the wheel, without needing to connect to a computer. For deeper configuration and software updates, the onboard USB-C port connects to MadtraceLAB on a laptop or PC.

Is this system compatible with other Toyota GR vehicles besides the GR86/BRZ?

Yes. While this listing is specifically for the GR86/BRZ (ZN8/ZD8) chassis, the FORMULA Line system is also compatible with the Toyota GR Corolla 2023+, Toyota GR Yaris 2022-2024, and Toyota GR Yaris 2025+ when ordered in the correct chassis configuration. A separate listing exists for the GR Corolla/GR Yaris variant.

What does the ENP Finish Kit add-on include?

The optional Electroless Nickel Plated (ENP) Finish Kit upgrades the paddle shifters, QR ring, knobs, and hardware to a premium ENP finish. This adds a distinctive, high-end appearance and enhanced surface durability to the key tactile components of the system.
