Fanatec has put a new, eye-catching offer live: the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base (8 Nm) including the QR2 Base-Side (Type-C) for just €499.95. Previously priced at €659.95, this bundle is now a whopping €160 cheaper! For sim racers looking for a high-quality PlayStation-compatible direct drive experience, this is a deal that is hard to ignore.

What is the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base?

The Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro is the only official direct drive wheel base for Gran Turismo, developed in collaboration with Polyphony Digital. The base uses Fanatec's Direct Drive technology and delivers a maximum torque of 8 Nm when used with the included Boost Kit 180.

Thanks to this power source, you experience very detailed, smooth and responsive force feedback. It is a big step up from traditional belt- or gear-driven systems and lets you feel the car's behaviour much better.

Included in this bundle

The bundle consists of:

  • Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base (8 Nm version)
  • Boost Kit 180 (increases torque from 5 Nm to 8 Nm)
  • QR2 Base-Side (Type-C) quick-release system

This combination not only allows you to race at the highest level, but also ensures that you immediately have the latest generation of Fanatec mounting: the QR2.

QR2 Base-Side (Type-C): the future of quick release

The addition of the QR2 Base-Side (Type-C) is a major plus point of this offering. Whereas previous Fanatec systems used the QR1 system, QR2 is a big step forward:

  • Constructed entirely of metal
  • Virtually no play between handlebars and wheelbase
  • Faster montage and demontage of steering wheels

This ensures a more reliable and rigid connection, which is especially important in direct drive systems to convey every detail of force feedback.

Why is this a good deal?

There are several reasons why this bundle is a smart investment:

  1. Direct Drive performance at a competitive price
    For less than €500, you get a complete direct drive experience with 8 Nm of power - which is unusual in this segment. Comparable systems from other brands often cost hundreds of euros more.
  2. Compatibility with PlayStation
    This base is officially licensed for use with the PlayStation 5 and 4, but also works perfectly on PC. That makes it a versatile choice.
  3. Upgrade to QR2 included
    The QR2 upgrade normally costs around €100 separately, and the fact that it now comes as standard in the bundle makes it extra interesting for racers looking to futureproof.
  4. Created by Fanatec
    A brand with years of experience and a huge ecosystem of compatible products. Whether you are looking for shifters, pedals or steering wheels: Fanatec offers everything.

Availability and delivery time

At the time of writing, (part of) this bundle is on backorder. That means you can order, but may have to wait a little longer for delivery. Fanatec indicates on the product page when the expected shipping date is.

Who is this offer for?

This bundle is ideal for:

  • Racers looking to transition from an entry-level setup to direct drive
  • PlayStation users looking for a high-end direct drive wheelbase
  • Sim racers looking to upgrade their current Fanatec setup to QR2

High torque and PlayStation and PC compatibility make this a future-proof purchase.

Conclusion

The Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro Wheel Base with QR2 Base-Side (Type-C) is one of the best offers currently available in the sim racing world. For just £499.95, you get a premium experience, officially licensed for PlayStation, with the latest QR2 technology and powerful 8Nm direct drive force feedback.

This deal offers excellent value for money for both beginners and advanced sim racers looking to improve their setup. Order quickly, as Fanatec offers are rarely available for long periods of time.

Good Deal!
