The Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition is a high-end to midrange steering wheel designed to be the ultimate match for Gran Turismo Sport. It provides a fantastic racing experience with sturdy build quality, a three pedal setup, and quick release wheels.
+ pros
- Sturdy build quality and inclusion of a three pedal setup and quick release wheels.
- Provides a great racing experience with a wealth of information about the surface and grip levels offered by the tyres.
- Smooth paddle shifters and accurate pedals.
- cons
- The presence of a clutch pedal feels a bit useless without an optional gear stick.
- The force feedback can fade after a few hours of play due to the T300RS' belt drive.
- The GT Edition costs around £70 more than the original T300RS, with the only real difference being a 3-pedal module.
