Peripheral supplier Thrustmaster has issued a statement apologizing to Polyphony Digital and the competitors at the GT Sport World Tour event in Tokyo, for a component failure that’s resulted in a full hardware swap at the event.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on Gran Turismo Twitter today, you’ll have spotted something rather unusual. A Tweet posted by racing driver Teruaki Kato showing the GT Sport World Tour stage build at the Toyota Mega Web venue has revealed a very unexpected equipment change.
Last autumn I started the journey of fatherhood. If you have kids yourself, you know what this means. If you don’t though, the best way I describe it is your entire world gets turned upside-down in the best way possible.
Thrustmaster continued its sim racing product offensive this week with a pair of steering wheels. The Sparco P310 and Open Wheel have both been available before with wheel bases, but now sim racers can pick them up a la carte.
Thrustmaster has a new addition to its Ferrari line up of peripherals. Joining the T80, TS-PC, and 250 GTO wheel add-on is a new Ferrari-branded accessory.
The team at Thrustmaster has confirmed the September launch of its TSS Handbrake for consoles. Joining it is a surprise item, and it will be available this coming Monday.
The team at Hoonigan has done it again. With the same sort of gloriously overkill approach that results in 1400hp Mustangs, the garage has teamed up with Thrustmaster to build a pair of serious sim racing rigs. Best of all, if you’re in Austin, Texas this weekend, you could take them for a test drive.
There’s a long history of officially-branded Gran Turismo wheels. Starting out with Logitech’s GT Force way back in the days of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, Polyphony moved to a partnership with Thrustmaster almost a decade ago. The latest fruit of this collaboration is the wheel you see here, the T-GT.
After first announcing it this past April, Thrustmaster has pencilled in a release window for the console version of its TSS handbrake. The 90% metal, Sparco-branded item will touch down for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this September.
Back in January, Thrustmaster took the wraps off its hefty TSS handbrake. Unfortunately (for console players), it was a PC-only affair. Now, Thrustmaster has announced another TSS is on the way, and this time it’ll be multi-platform.

Thrustmaster has unveiled the latest in its sim racing accessory ecosystem. Dubbed the TSS Handbrake Sparco Mod, the new piece of kit should please racers and drifters alike.
Thrustmaster is again partnering with Ferrari for its latest piece of hardware: the T80 Ferrari 488 GTB Edition. If you’ve recently invested in high-end equipment, don’t get too worried: this entry-level wheel is aimed at the lower-end of the market.
If modern sim racing wheels are just a little too… well, modern for you, Thrustmaster may have just revealed the cure. We present to you the Ferrari 250 GTO wheel add-on.
We’re right in the middle of the busiest time the sim racing genre has seen in years. It looks like Thrustmaster is set to continue expanding its racing offerings too, judging by a price listing document from the company.
Thrustmaster has officially taken the covers off its latest steering wheel add-on. It’s a big one, and should be a hit with the rally fans in the sim racing community.
