Playstation users who have been eying off the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro have been given another option to help get their Playstation compatible Direct Drive Wheel Base.
The Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base (8Nm) is now available as a standalone purchase without the need to package the system with the Fanatec CSL Pedals and Gran Turismo Steering Wheel.
So to help you decide if this wheel base is right for you, we’ve put together some of the most important bits of our full review of the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro.
If you’d like to pick up any of the gear covered in this article, the following links are a great way to help support Boosted Media. These links will take you through to Fanatec’s official website where we will also earn a small commission on the sale at no additional cost to you. Your support keeps the content and reviews coming and we greatly appreciate it!
The Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base (8Nm) comes with the Boost Kit 180 power supply allowing full use of the DD Pro Wheel Base’s 8Nm peak torque.
When purchasing the non Playstation compatible equivalent (CSL DD) and the complete Gran Turismo DD Pro package you have the option of a standard power supply which enables 5Nm peak torque, or the Boost Kit 180 to unlock the full 8Nm.
For full pricing and information on all options, follow the link below for your region.
The Fanatec ecosystem can seem a little confusing when it comes to compatibility, but all you need to remember is that Playstation compatibility comes from a security chip within the wheelbase, while XBOX compatibility comes from the steering wheel.
So with a Playstation compatible wheel base such as the Gran Turismo DD Pro, you will have Playstation and PC compatibility. Â Add to that an XBOX compatible wheel such as the McLaren GT3 V2, and you will now also be able to use your wheelbase with an XBOX.
If of course you do not need Playstation compatibility, you’re able to save a bit of money and go for the CSL DD with either 5 or 8Nm of peak torque.
Compatibility and some cosmetic differences aside, the Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base 8Nm is identical to the Fanatec CSL DD. Â We have gone to a huge level of detail in our review of the Fanatec CSL DD so make sure you check out the videos below for all that info.
We know from our experience with the CSL DD that this wheel base is capable of producing a very smooth and detailed force feedback in sim racing titles such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competition, Automobilista, and plenty more, but would this translate across to Playstation despite using the same hardware? Drivers and software play such an important role in the overall performance of a wheel base. Â So we took the GT Pro DD for a test drive in all the main PS5 racing titles to see exactly what you can expect from this wheel base on Playstation.
Make sure you subscribe to Boosted Media on YouTube so you don’t miss our full review of Gran Turismo 7 and how this wheel base and others perform on this highly anticipated title.
