Thrustmaster T-GT Review (High Resolution) 

15:08 rocking those odd socks :p ps. thanks for the review. bottom line I would have considered this if the pedal set was of genuinely high quality. As it stands, I'm more than happy to stay with my G29 which to be honest I simply have no complaints about, especially when you consider the massive difference in price.

IF... they could sell it as a stand alone wheel (no pedals) and for the price half of what it cost now... I would buy it, no questions asked.

Shaun Another Detailed Review Your Work Is Appreciated Keep It Up

Down to the Mid $500’s now. Thanks for the review.

So let me get this straight, we're supposed to pay what $500 for the wheel and then $300 for GT Sport functionality? I think Thrustmaster has lost their marbles with this package. And when will they ever except that people want load cell pedals?

What a delight of a review! Just complete. Well done!

Great job Shaun! I agree, they need to up their game with their pedals. If Fanatec pedals were sold in "box" stores I think Thrustmater would have no choice but to innovate, but they have an edge getting their product to the masses.

Great review, thank you Shaun!!!

Great review, Shaun!

I was able to pick up a csl elite for 400 with a handbrake half the price of this very pleased I didn’t get this

Nicely done Shaun

Nice work Shaun!! I think a nice set of Club Sport V3 pedals with a Basherboard CPX connected to this wheel base would be great for people who want the most immersion if they really luv their GT Sport.

Call me biased, but Fanatec will always be a league ahead of Thrustmaster. Especially with the design, and the way the wheels attach to the base

Thank you for the review sir

I have this wheel and in my opinion currently it's worth $600 because of the fact the dials and transducer only work with GT Sport on PS4. If they become compatible with all other racing games on PS4 it will then be worth every bit of that $799.99 price tag. I do play GT Sport and it is fantastic with that game.

You can play FPS games with this wheel, the 2 analog sticks are a nice addition and i feel this is easily Thrustmaster's best Rim as it feels great in the hand.

Great review :)

Good review Shaun, as always, but.... Why the high and low resolution?

None of you reviewers of this wheel have mentioned a problem with the wheel locking nut on this wheel. It comes loose after a while from the beating it gets from the force feedback. If you look carefully at the method used, to lock the nut use will see two things, the screw that is used to lock the nut, looks like somebody drilled a random hole and screwed in a wood screw. It is obvious that this was not part of the original design but was an after thought to solve a problem. Looking at the underside of the nut you will see a ratchet feature molded in the face with no obvious purpose. I think they had a design that didn’t work, scrapped the idea and added a screw as a last resort. So, the design of the nut is a hack job and needs a more sophisticated solution. They used a too delicate electrical connector on the wheel. There are more robust versions available that they could have used. A note for people trying to connect the wheel, if they look, they will see a key in the middle of the electrical connector and a mating hole on the other connecting part line these up when assembling to eliminate causing damage.

Great review, on Gran Turismo Sport on the PS4, which force feedback torque and force feedback sensitivity settings did you use?

11:55 - it is just to screw tighter (few degress tighter) this ring of the wheel and that is it, for 100% there should be not any looseness.

Is your FOV set correctly mate? I know its personal preference but I think if you moved the camera in a bit closer to the dash, you would have more control of the car. I noticed this in all you cars, but especially in the F1 game you are sitting very very far away. Thats cant help your natural instincts for turn in points. I noticed as soon as I got my FOV set better it felt like I had the front axel in my hands. Thats the best way I can describe it and not only lap times dropped, but also I make less mistakes. Maybe you like it as it is, but maybe you haven't actually tried many other options? Don't mean to preach lol Great review btw! 👍🏼😜🏁

At 6:57 you can see the springs are very heavily coated in some kind of nearly clear "grease" or silicone or something. What is it? Why is it there? Do you have rusting problems of your springs? I have owned several sets of Thrustmaster pedals, none of mine had copious amounts of grease on them. None of mine ever rusted. The only problem with them is the potentiometers are junk and don't last. No amount of cleaning fixes them, they just die. Is this some sort of a trick to save them? I just don't see any point to the greasing of the springs. It will attract dust and hair...

This wheel and pedal set are in Australia $1400-$1700 just an absolute rolloff.

First like and comment. I think that that steering wheel is not worth it

I'll take the Fanatec CSL Elite PS4 with load cell pedals for $600 thanks.

$800 is way to pricey a wheel not worth more than $450.

the comment section is strong with fanatec fan boys who are like iphone users. have no clue what they are actually buying and cant tell you the driving mechanism of their wheel etc, otherwise they would know they just paid 900$ for a belt driven wheel with a slightly bigger motor producing extra force they will never actually use lol.

Sim Racing Girl also mentioned the notchiness of this wheel. That's disappointing at this price point. I run a T300 and over time, the locking mechanism has become loose to the point where my wheel doesn't attach securely to the base. The T-GT uses the same locking mechanism which tells me that over time, it will develop the same looseness I have now. Again, that's pretty bad for an $800 wheel. I agree with another commentor that the price needs to drop and it should be offered without the pedals. The pedals that came with my T300 have been sitting in the box since new, I've never used them. I didn't like being forced to buy a packaged set then and I don't like it now.

I play gt sport all the time but should i buy this t-gt or fanatec csl elite?

Can you reverse the T3PA pro's on this wheel

This isnt worth more then lets say $450-$500 bucks...there should be a way better peddle set for the current price.

It's hideous. That stupid enormous GT logo on the center of the wheel is SO tacky. And the wheel overall looks more toy than anything. I would get the TS-XW over this.

The joysticks ... do they also have a "click function"?

Fanatec CSL Elite PS4!

Thrustmaster is falling into the same hole that Logitech did. they are offering the same wheel base with an upgraded look and asking a premium price for it. IMO the T-GT is way over priced. I race on a T300RS and when I first bought it I liked that it was part of the Thrustmaster Ecosystem and I could get other wheel rims and pedals and shifters, However Thrustmaster has now backed themselves into a corner. They are in a spot where to make a wheel base that compares to other offerings they need to change the Thrustmaster QR, thus loosing ecosystem compatability. At this point there is far to much "Value" ie (people are more likely to buy equipment that they can retain and add on too) for Thrusmaster to do that. For anyone that is already in or thinking about getting into the Thrustmaster ecosystem (and im here with you T300RS, TH8A Shifter, T3PA Pro Pedals though im using fanatic CSV3 pedals now) how much are you willing to invest and still be ok with starting over? There will come a point for Thrustmaster (Sooner rather than later) where Revolution over Repetition will be outside of the current TS ecosystem.

seems well overpriced for another belt driven wheel but i guess this is an option for PS4 users

Did Thrustmaster pay you to not compare it with the obvious competitor from Fanatec? Even to the point of half lying when listing the options for PS4 support. Disappointing Shaun, I expected you to be above that.

MUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CARO solo pagaría la mitad de lo que vale

The FFB in GTS is garbage. Far from some of the best on PS4, which belongs to AC.

LOL! This made me laugh Sean! "Pro-Level steering wheel"? What are you smoking? I don't know how you managed to do this review with a straight face. It's overpriced belt-driven crap that's priced WAY too close to DD territory to even take it seriously. At least Fanatec's CSW has really nice design and the range of rims in the ecosystem are very nicely made. But this? Same awful, cheap TX style 'quick release', same all plastic shell. Fanatec at least gives you aluminum and a nice viewing window plus a real quick release system. This? No...just hell to the no.

Crap wheel, sold mine quick smart, over priced Thrustmaster garbage made for a driving sim/racing game that is full of low life cheats

What an overpriced crap is that? Is that a TIE-fighter steeringwheel with those knobs? Look at that cheap pedals with grease on their springs... THRUSTMASTER, SIMPLE NO...
