Fanatec has released a firmware hotfix for the Gran Turismo DD Pro and CSL DD wheel bases, addressing the stability issues some Gran Turismo 7 players have run into since update 1.71 arrived last month.

Fanatec has confirmed it is investigating reports of Gran Turismo DD Pro wheel bases disconnecting, dropping force feedback, or behaving erratically in Gran Turismo 7 following the arrival of update 1.71 last week.

Fanatec’s new Podium Pedals Formula are back in stock Wednesday, August 19, at 14:00 UTC (that’s 10:00 AM Eastern, 7:00 AM Pacific, or 4:00 PM CEST). If the first batch is any indication, you won’t have long to think it over: the initial production run sold out in roughly seven minutes.
