Know before you buy
The 15 Nm of torque provides consistent, high-fidelity force feedback that allows you to feel subtle track details and tire grip transitions. This level of power is sufficient for serious sim racers who want a realistic, immersive experience without the torque drop-off found in entry-level systems.
Yes, while the wheel was co-developed with Polyphony Digital for an authentic Gran Turismo experience, it functions as a standard high-performance input device. It is compatible with most major racing titles on PC and console platforms.
The seat is designed for versatility, featuring both sliding and reclining mechanisms to mimic a real race car. It can accommodate users as short as 3 feet tall and supports weights up to 250 lbs.
The system supports a triple-monitor setup, accommodating up to three 24-inch screens out of the box. If you intend to use larger monitors, you will need to purchase the large stand upgrade.
While the rig is designed to support hard mounting for maximum stability, it is compatible with a wide range of racing peripherals. Hard mounting is recommended to ensure the 15 Nm of torque does not cause unwanted movement during intense driving.
The seat sits approximately 12 inches off the ground. This low-profile design is intended to replicate the seating position of a real race car, though you should ensure this height is comfortable for your specific gaming space.
