Know before you buy
Yes, the Gran Turismo DD Pro is officially licensed for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, and it is also fully compatible with PC.
Yes, you can upgrade the peak torque to 8 Nm by purchasing the optional Boost Kit 180 power supply. This is a simple plug-and-play upgrade that provides more headroom for detailed force feedback.
The QR2 Lite allows you to swap steering wheels quickly and securely without needing tools. It provides a more rigid connection between the wheel and the base compared to older systems, resulting in less flex and better force feedback transmission.
Yes, this bundle includes the direct drive wheelbase, a steering wheel, a pedal set, and a table clamp. You have everything required to mount the system to a desk and begin racing immediately.
Direct drive systems mount the steering wheel directly to the motor shaft, eliminating the friction and lag associated with belts or gears. This results in much faster, more precise, and more detailed force feedback that feels significantly more realistic.
The included table clamp is designed to handle the 5 Nm output securely on most standard desks. However, if you plan to upgrade to the 8 Nm Boost Kit, you may find that a dedicated racing cockpit offers more stability for the increased force.
