• Difference between firmware and drivers
• First way. Update manually
• Second way. Update automatically

The firmware and drivers of your racing wheel both ensure that your racing wheel works properly. The firmware of your racing wheel is software inside your racing wheel. This is the software that makes you feel force feedback and that calibrates your racing wheel. The drivers in your racing wheel are the software that tell the firmware how to work.
