Know before you buy
Yes, the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro is officially licensed for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, and it is also fully compatible with PC. Please note that console compatibility is specific to the PlayStation ecosystem.
Yes, this is a complete bundle that includes the direct drive wheel base, the steering wheel rim, a set of all-metal pedals, and a table clamp. You can mount it to a desk or a dedicated racing cockpit right out of the box.
Direct drive technology connects the steering wheel directly to the motor shaft, eliminating the friction and lag found in gear or belt-driven systems. This results in much faster, more detailed, and more realistic force feedback sensations.
Absolutely. The wheel features built-in tuning menus that allow you to adjust force feedback strength, sensitivity, and other parameters directly from the wheel rim, even while you are in a game.
The QR2 system provides a rock-solid, play-free connection between the wheel rim and the base. It allows you to swap out steering wheels quickly and securely without needing tools, ensuring maximum stability during intense racing.
While a dedicated racing cockpit offers the most stable experience, the included table clamp allows you to mount the base directly to most sturdy desks. If you plan to use the full 8 Nm of torque, a hard-mounted setup on a rig is recommended to prevent movement.
