Official Gran Turismo 7 bundle from Thrustmaster called the T-GT IIIDirect Axial Drive base, plus Raceline Load Cell pedals and a Gran Turismo- branded wheelThrustmaster becomes Gran Turismo World Series partner once more<\/p>\n

Thrustmaster has unveiled a new officially licensed Gran Turismo 7 wheel bundle: the TGT-III.<\/p>\n

Whereas the previous TGT wheels were belt-driven, Thrustmaster\u2019s latest Gran Turismo-branded wheel incorporates an evolved version of the company\u2019s Direct Axial Drive technology.<\/p>\n

Compatible with PS5 and PS4, the TGT-III delivers 5Nm of constant torque, with an overshoot of up to 10Nm. Thrustmaster claims this provides \u201cultra-low latency\u201d and \u201cinstant responsiveness.\u201d Haptic technology also simulates effects such as gear jolt and engine roar in Gran Turismo 7<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new bundle includes the now-familiar Gran Turismo-branded TGT wheel rim, featuring a leather finish and four rotary dials mapped for Gran Turismo, along with a load-cell pedal set.<\/p>\n

Its wheel base design resembles the existing T598<\/a>, which we ranked as number one in our list of the best PS5 racing wheels<\/a>. Only this time, there is a Gran Turismo-branded round steering wheel as part of the bundle.<\/p>\n

The kit also includes the Raceline pedals, with the usually optional load cell add-on included from the off.<\/p>\n

The Thrustmaster T-GT III can be pre-ordered from 3rd December for \u00a3649.99 \/ \u20ac699.99 \/ $749.99, with deliveries expected to start before Christmas and coincide with the second part of Gran Turismo 7\u2019s Spec IV update<\/a>, which will add six new cars and the new Sugo circuit<\/a>. The first part will launch in October, bringing six more cars and reprising Autumn Ring. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thrustmaster rejoins Gran Turismo World Series partner list<\/p>\n

As well as unveiling the T-GT III, Thrustmaster also announced that it\u2019s now an official partner of the Gran Turismo World Series during round three in Singapore, joining Moza<\/a> and Fanatec<\/a>. It\u2019s the first time the World Series has had three simultaneous wheel manufacturer partnerships.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a long-standing partnership with Thrustmaster, who, over the years, have remained faithful to Gran Turismo by offering solutions which enhance the driving experience,\u201d Gran Turismo\u2019s creator Kazunori Yamauchi commented.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"Thrustmaster<\/p>\n

\u201cThe journey we\u2019ve taken together has allowed us to extend the desired sensations through a steering wheel as technology and the game have evolved. We are delighted to welcome them as partners of Gran Turismo World Series,\u201d Gran Turismo\u2019s creator Kazunori Yamauchi commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeeting Gran Turismo\u2019s exacting standards is no small feat. In the 16 years we\u2019ve been working together, Yamauchi-san\u2019s motto has remained a commitment to the game in every sense of the word; this has allowed us to take on projects that we believe no one else would have accepted in order to achieve that level of fidelity,\u201d Gilles Raulet, Director of Development and Licensing at Thrustmaster, added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis collaboration continues to inspire our teams year after year because passion remains at the heart of our discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Official Gran Turismo 7 bundle from Thrustmaster called the T-GT IIIDirect Axial Drive base, plus Raceline Load Cell…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":790913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,954,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-790912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-playstation","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=790912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/790913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=790912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=790912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=790912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
