Great question, relevant not only for Gran Turismo, but for all next-gen racing games.

Not only that, but are there more wheels (cheaper) coming for the PS4? If not, I really want to know if the ones I have will work!

Wheels support the PS4 anyway unlike XBox One. So highly likely.

This is very true. For ages, Logitech supported Playstation and Gran Turismo with wheels of good to fantastic quality, but that relationship is now in question with Logitech stating they're going to focus on PC racing. There are no indications that Logitech won't be working with SONY to support existing wheels on PS4. But we don't know the situation with new wheel makers such as Thrustmaster and existing ones like Mad Cats, who might be lobbying to be given exclusive licensing for PS4 racers and to make official wheels for games like GT7. We might learn something more at E3 in a couple of weeks.

I just hope that the cheaper legacy wheels will be supported. I want to use the ones I have!

Same here. I have a DFGT and G25, and supporting both would be easier on my wallet, as much as I'd like to try a good Thrustmaster. $350 or so... ouch.

I'm pretty sure they will work on PS4, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Good question!

Well if it supports my G27 & DFGT then I'm sure it supports others.

As things stand I'm pretty sure they won't, DC devs said they wanted to support them but it was out of their hands, unless Sony and Logitech work out something in the future (a big IF) the answer is no, also Like I said it isn't something up to the devs so Kaz won't provide an answer.

Problem is Mad Cats controllers are crap, and the only Thrustmaster wheel PS4 compatible is T80 Drive Club edition, .......not much better.
No shifter (seq Paddle shifter only), no clutch pedal, wheel itself looks cheap, but hey it includes the share button. The T80 Drive Club Edition racing wheel is about as serious, as Drive Club the game. (a pretty arcade racer).
I'm wanting wheel support for a SIM worthy title like Project CARS.

This is completely in Sony's hands and don't let anyone tell you different. The only thing that will be contentious here is money. Sony needs the drivers made to support their driving games, Logitech probably doesn't care one way or the other if they are out of the console wheel business. It's therefore upon Sony to force the issue, show up with a chequebook and say, "Get it done, how much?". If it doesn't get done, the blame entirely rests with Sony IMO.

If Sony AND PD are stupid enough to get us used to running with wheels, then DUMPING all of us with a system that can't use what we have (and especially those who can't afford a new one), then GT deserves to die along with Sony!

Considering previous versions, and basic logic, all (or at least the Logitech GT ones) controllers will be supported by PD. We will see, but, really, they would be insanely stupid to not.

News from Project Cars is that the PC version will take all wheel brands, but the PS4 and XBox One versions only have Thrustmaster support, as it stands atm.
I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

And here's a link to the list if anyone is interested. Note also, the list is not final. More peripherals are expected to be added to the list before game launch.

What's that wheel on that page?
I could contact Logitech. @amar212 , thank you to pass the message on NeoGAF. I'm sorry but it's French.
"Malheureusement, aucun de nos produits n'est pour le moment compatible avec la PlayStation 4 et à l'heure actuelle aucun développement, n'est fait en ce sens, cependant cela n'exclut pas un changement dans le futur"
And when I asked if this decision comes only from them or if a tier as Sony has something to do with it:
"Le procédé est compliqué mais globalement nous sommes unique décisionnaire. Sony nous ont autorisés à développer la compatibilité sur la PS4, mais pour le moment nous ne souhaitons investir sur ce nouveau marché"
Clearly, if you want your Logitech wheel is compatible with the PS4, we must massively contact Logitech !
@Jordan , it would be nice if you put their responses on GTPlanet news.

If no one supports the G27 then I'm officially done... Didn't spend the money for my wheel to be in its box and plastics for me to go and buy another one
I wonder what DriveClub is up to

Here is the translation to Zlorks post above...
"Unfortunately, none of our products is not currently compatible with the PlayStation 4 and at present no development is done in this direction, however this does not exclude a change in the future"
And when to I Asked if this decision comes only from em or if a tier as Sony HAS something to do with it:
"The process is complicated but overall we are single decision maker. Sony have allowed us to develop compatibility on PS4, but for now we want to invest in this new market"

@amar212 for neogaf.
Yes, I'll translate :
"Unfortunately, none of our products isn't currently compatible with the PlayStation 4 and at this time, no development is planned. However this doesn't exclude a change in future".
More important, when I asked if this decision comes only from them (Logitech) or if a tier as Sony has something to do with it:
"The processing is complicated but we are only decision makers. Sony kindly autorised us to develop compatibility on PS4. But, at the moment, we don't want invest in this market"
Bonus :

Hmm... may be saving up for a Thrustmaster...
I want one anyway, but it would be nice not to have to buy a PS4 and a wheel with my game, like I did with my 360 Leet and Forza 2. MS had the wheel market under a hard lockdown on X360, unlike SONY, but it was the same situation. About $800 to play my racer with a wheel.
Eh, I guess I'll budget for that anyhow. I know I'll want a few games with my PS4. And then if we get G25/27 and DFGT drivers, I can lay back and use my perfectly fine racing wheels for the time being.
