The Thrustmaster T300RS wheel is a great piece of hardware, but as I noted in my review last week, the pedals it comes with can leave you wanting a bit more – and they don’t include a clutch. That’s where the T3PA pedal set comes in, providing a plug-and-play upgrade that’s compatible with the rest of the company’s ecosystem of wheels.

When Thrustmaster released the T500RS as the officially-licensed wheel for Gran Turismo 5 back in 2011, it made quite an impact on the sim racing hardware market. Featuring sturdy construction, high-quality materials, and wide availability among retailers around the world, it got the attention of many enthusiasts looking for a PS3 and PC compatible wheel.

A month into 2015, one of the most anticipated events in GTPlanet’s GT6 Photomode section has returned: the Tournament.

BROADCAST SCHEDULE

“Project CARS” – a new racing game from Slightly Mad Studios – is set to release in March, and it’s going to feature one very special car for our community here! The game’s RUF CTR3 SMS-R will be available in a full GTPlanet livery, conceived by GTP member Willfred_1 and custom designed by FLX1981.

2014 was a roller coaster of a year for Gran Turismo fans. Although GT6 didn’t evolve as quickly as many people expected after its December 2013 release, it has undergone a considerable transformation over the past twelve months and introduced some major “firsts” for the series.

After 12 months of development we are proud to announce GTPlanet’s third officially sanctioned GT6 Racing Series, the GTPlanet Endurance Series.

You might not give much thought to the pedals on your driving rig. Unlike steering wheels, there simply aren’t that many standalone pedal sets out there in the market, and most people assume those provided with wheels from Logitech or Thrustmaster are adequate for the job…right?

GTPlanet has reached a major milestone today, as we celebrate more than 10,000,000 messages posted in our forums! This incredible number comes thirteen years, six months, and eleven days since the GTPlanet Forums were officially opened on May 14, 2001, with this rather unceremonious post by yours truly.

Can you believe it? Our book, GTPEDIA: GTPlanet’s Guide to the World of Gran Turismo has just celebrated its second anniversary since it was launched back in 2012! It’s still going strong, and we are excited to announce the latest update, version 1.05, is now available to download.

As you might expect from GTPlanet – home to the largest online community of Gran Turismo enthusiasts – we are eager to take advantage of the brand new “Community Features” which just rolled out in GT6 update 1.14!

The weekend is finally here, and more than 40 drivers are set to represent 12 different teams in a virtual 24-hour race at Spa Francorchamps in Gran Turismo 6!

Steering wheel controllers have come a long ways over the past few years, and with Logitech reducing their involvement in the sim-racing accessory market, competition has picked up between higher-end manufacturers like Thrustmaster and Fanatec.

I am often asked about GTPlanet logo stickers, and I am excited to announce that we now have an official partner from which you can purchase high-quality vinyl decals in a variety of colors, sizes, and formats.

It’s time for another online endurance race in Gran Turismo 6, and this time, we’re going to Belgium’s Ardennes forest for a 24-hour race at Spa Francorchamps!

Next Weekend, we’ll be featuring the seventh special event of GT6, the F3 [D3] Japanese Grand Prix, at Suzuka Circuit.  The event will feature a realistic 3 round knockout qualifying format and a 41 lap F3 race distance.  The car used is the Ayrton Senna WSR F3 Car.

We’re excited to announce the latest free update for our book, GTPEDIA: GTPlanet’s Guide to the World of Gran Turismo is ready and now available for all customers to download.

GTPlanet is excited to host a 12-hour online endurance race at Brands Hatch in Gran Turismo 6! The event will be streamed live in its entirety, right here via YouTube, with commentary throughout.

As you may recall, the Thrustmaster T300 RS wheel – the company’s newest model since the T500, the official wheel for GT5 and GT6 – was unveiled back in June at E3.
