People say that it doesn't make a difference and this in an age old argument, but it definitely feels different when I am drifting, I feel the difference in control, but in racing I strangely don't feel any difference at all when adjusting it.

It definitely doesn't affect wheels. I confirmed this with Polyphony directly.

I can't believe that hasn't stuck for P1 😯 that was an amazing lap (as always 😅).

Glad to see these results with a T598 🔥

Yeah I thought my 51.701 time would hold but a talented 13 year old European driver pipped me by 18 thousandths👍.

Here's another T598 Sport Mode WR though.



Did this on day 1 too! The turn 1 drift simply isn't possible with a lesser wheel, like a belt driven one.

Druids makes the car look like it's on rails, that is unreal 😯

That was the exact face I pulled after exiting from Paddock Hill bend. Still P1 even after several heavy weight drivers have tried their hand at it.

Thanks to the T598, it's much easier to explore a time trial's limits, with its consistent feedback delivery👍

I switched from T300RS GT to T598 this week. The main reasons were I wanted to:
  1. Try DD - well, the DD is a significant step up over belt, no questions. It's much easier to catch a slide - most of them were impossible on T300.
  2. Get rid of overheating issue (and loosing FFB during the race) - damn it, I raced 1hour race on Gr4 yesterday, FFB in GT7 set to 5/1, recommended Thrustmaster settings for the GT7. The base got really hot and much of FFB strength faded away after around 50min. The room was around 19°C. I was hoping Thrustmaster learnt from the past but it doesn't seem to be the case. What a shame.

Mine t598 also have overheat problem that I was playing 10 laps at Susuka , last two laps the detail of ffb faded away. on the other hand , the FFb in gt7 is not so noticable in the mid turning corner than t300rs, I used to have t300 for almost 10 years and get burned during gt7 10 laps race
