Best wheel for Gran Turismo 7?

Gran Turismo 7 only supports steering wheels included on the official list in the game manual. If you are looking for a proven model for PS5 or PS4, the simplest choice is the Logitech G29 or the newer Logitech G923 PlayStation version. A good alternative from Thrustmaster is the T248 model or the advanced direct drive T598.

Pitfalls when buying a steering wheel for Gran Turismo 7

Gran Turismo 7 is a game released exclusively for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The title is not available on PC or Xbox consoles, which directly affects accessory compatibility.

A common mistake is purchasing a steering wheel designed for the Microsoft ecosystem. The Logitech G920, Logitech G923 Xbox version, and Thrustmaster TMX do not work with PlayStation consoles at all, so you will not be able to play GT7 with them.

Another pitfall is the older Thrustmaster T500RS model. The official game manual notes that this controller works in Gran Turismo 7 only when playing on a PlayStation 4 console.

You can also find popular steering wheels like the Thrustmaster T128 and Hori Racing Wheel Apex in stores with PlayStation compatibility markings. However, they are not on the list of officially supported wheels in the Gran Turismo 7 manual, so choosing them comes with a risk.

It is also worth knowing how the game handles the Thrustmaster T248 model. It is on the list, but in the Gran Turismo 7 options, it is detected and configured as a T-GT compatible controller.

Fun fact: The RacingGames.gg website describes the Thrustmaster T-GT II as a steering wheel designed specifically for the Gran Turismo series.

Technologies and differences between wheels on the official list

Steering wheels on the official list differ primarily in the type of drive and force feedback precision. The Logitech G29 uses dual-motor force feedback with helical gearing, offers a 900-degree rotation angle, a hand-stitched leather rim, and stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals.

The Logitech G923 introduces TRUEFORCE technology, where the motor is closed-loop controlled and mapped directly to game physics. The set also includes a brake pedal with a progressive spring and a dual-clutch launch assist feature in supported titles.

The Thrustmaster T248 relies on the Hybrid Drive system, which is 70% more powerful than in the older T150 model. It features magnetic paddle shifters, 25 buttons, a screen with over 20 display modes, and T3PM magnetic pedals with four brake pressure modes.

For more demanding players, there is the Thrustmaster T598 with Direct Axial Drive. It delivers 5 Nm of constant torque with a momentary boost up to +100%, and Thrustmaster provides downloadable ready-made force feedback profiles created specifically for GT7. The kit includes Raceline LTE pedals with two pedals, with an option to purchase a third one.

A budget option from the official list is the Thrustmaster T80. However, you must keep in mind that this model lacks a force feedback system.

Below, we have gathered proven steering wheels from the game's official list that you can connect to your console without any hassle.

Shifter and clutch pedal support in GT7

Driving with a manual gearbox and three pedals in Gran Turismo 7 requires proper setup. In Driving Options, you must first switch the transmission to manual (MT).

To use the clutch pedal at all, a physical shifter must be connected to the console, such as the Thrustmaster TH8 RS. Without a connected shifter, the game will not allow the use of the clutch pedal.

At the start of every race, the wheel-mounted paddle shifters remain active. However, simply moving the shifter will cause the game to switch to shifter mode with automatic clutch.

Full manual is activated the moment you press the clutch pedal while using the shifter. If you use the wheel paddles during a race, the controls will immediately revert to paddle mode.

The clutch will not work in every available car. In cars equipped with torque converter automatics, continuously variable transmissions (CVT), or dual-clutch gearboxes, the clutch pedal remains inactive even if a manual transmission is selected.

You can adjust the sensitivity and button mapping of the controller at any time. You can find the relevant settings by going to the GT Menu, then Options, and selecting the Controllers tab.
