Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro review – a direct drive racing wheel on a budget

Coming from one of the biggest names in sim racing hardware, the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro bundle should be a go-to for those looking to make the jump from controller to wheel. After all, Fanatec has nearly 30 years in the sim racing business and is the official provider of hardware for the F1 Esports series.

Producing an accessible 5Nm of torque and with pedals that don’t require you to drive your foot through a brick wall, this Fanatec bundle is a plug-and-play sim racing kit for PC and PlayStation that will suit drivers of all ages and skill levels, but will cost you $699.99 to experience it. With so many new manufacturers competing for space in the sim racing market, can the experienced team at Fanatec still lead the way and earn a spot on our best racing wheel guide? Or is your hard-earned money better spent elsewhere?

We’ve tested the GT DD Pro bundle across a range of sim racing titles, from the high-downforce race circuit experience of F1 25 to sliding around on the gravel of EA Sports WRC. Read on to see how it stacks up.
