Know before you buy
No, the Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base is sold as a standalone unit. You will need to purchase a compatible Fanatec steering wheel and pedal set separately to complete your rig.
While it is officially optimized for the PlayStation 5, it is also compatible with PC. Please note that console compatibility depends on the steering wheel attached to the base.
Direct drive technology provides a significant upgrade in fidelity and responsiveness compared to gear or belt-driven systems. The 8 Nm of torque offers a strong, detailed force feedback experience that allows you to feel subtle track textures and weight shifts more accurately.
Yes, the unit includes a desk clamp for easy mounting. However, for the best experience with 8 Nm of force, a dedicated racing cockpit or a sturdy, vibration-free desk is recommended to handle the torque.
The unit utilizes a passive cooling system, meaning it operates silently without the need for internal fans. This design ensures consistent performance without the distraction of fan noise during your racing sessions.
You can update the firmware by connecting the wheel base to a PC via USB. Fanatec provides software that allows you to easily manage and update your hardware to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
