INTRODUCTION

The Podium Steering Wheel Bentley GT3 is the first wheel to feature a high-resolution, self-levelling, round display powered by a dedicated ARM microprocessor. The self-levelling feature is achieved with a gyroscopic sensor while in Exhibition Mode (on the Desk Stand / Wall Mount) and through the steering sensor when attached to a Wheel Base. It is possible to disable the display rotation; see section "Display Rotation".
