Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition – Force Feedback Racing Wheel for PS5, PS4 and PC, Brushless Motor, T3PA-GT 3-Pedal Set Included

The Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition is the wheel people move to once an entry-level set has stopped teaching them anything. It is officially licensed by PlayStation and by Gran Turismo, and it is built around a brushless servomotor that drives the wheel through a dual-belt system rather than a gear train. The GT Edition ships with the T3PA-GT three-pedal set, so a pedal set is in the box and you do not need to buy one separately.

What the Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition Is

The Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition is a belt-driven force feedback wheel for PlayStation consoles and PC, sold as a complete set: the wheel base, the GT wheel rim, and a three-pedal set. Thrustmaster’s official name for this package is the T300RS GT Edition, and the GT in the name refers to the Gran Turismo licence and to the T3PA-GT pedals that come with it.

The reason the Thrustmaster T300RS has held its position for as long as it has comes down to two engineering decisions: how the force is delivered, and how the steering position is read. Both are covered below.

Thrustmaster publishes the overall dimensions of the Thrustmaster T300RS as 35 x 32 x 45 cm. The wheel rim diameter is not published on the pages we can verify, so it is marked as unpublished in the specification list rather than guessed at.

The Brushless Motor and the Dual-Belt Drive

Thrustmaster describes the motor in the Thrustmaster T300RS as a brushless servomotor with nearly 25 watts of power, driving the wheel through a dual-belt system that the company says removes dead zones.

That matters more than the wattage does. Cheap wheels use a gear drive, and gears introduce backlash: a small dead area at the centre where the wheel moves but nothing happens, plus a mechanical whine you feel through your hands. The belt drive in the Thrustmaster T300RS is quieter and transmits smaller forces intact, which is the difference between feeling the car and feeling the hardware.

In practice, what you gain from the Thrustmaster T300RS over a gear-driven wheel is texture. A kerb strike reads as a separate event from the tyres starting to let go, rather than both arriving as one blunt jolt. Whether you need that depends entirely on how seriously you are racing.

H.E.A.R.T. Magnetic Position Sensing

The Thrustmaster T300RS reads its steering position with the H.E.A.R.T system, which stands for Hall Effect AccuRate Technology, magnetically with no physical contact between the sensor and the shaft. Thrustmaster’s own wording is that the system works without any potentiometers and allows for an unlimited product lifespan and optimal precision throughout gaming sessions, at up to 16-bit resolution with 65,536 values.

The practical benefit is durability. Potentiometer-based wheels wear where the wiper rubs the track, and over a year or two that shows up as a dead spot at centre or as drift that needs recalibrating. A contactless magnetic sensor has nothing rubbing against anything, so it does not develop that fault.

Treat the phrase unlimited product lifespan as Thrustmaster describing one sensor in the Thrustmaster T300RS specifically, not a promise about belts, bearings or electronics. It is a claim about one component, and it is a fair one.

Rotation Angle: the 1080-Degree Question

Thrustmaster’s own manual for the Thrustmaster T300RS describes it turning through a 1080-degree range while it self-calibrates at power-on, and that is the figure quoted for the T300 series generally.

What matters more is the condition attached to it. The rotation angle actually used is set by the game, not by the wheel, and in most circuit racing titles it is configured well below the full range because a real GT car does not use three turns lock to lock. The full 1080 degrees is there for rally stages, road cars and trucks, where you genuinely need the extra travel.

So read it as a ceiling rather than a setting. The Thrustmaster T300RS can give you up to 1080 degrees, and the game decides how much of it you get.

The Pedals and the Table Clamp: What Is Actually in the Box

The T3PA-GT three-pedal set is included with every Thrustmaster T300RS GT Edition. Thrustmaster describes it as having a 100% metal pedal head, with the pedals adjustable for height, spacing and inclination, and it ships with a conical rubber brake modification that stiffens the brake progressively toward the end of its travel.

Three pedals rather than two is the real upgrade here. A clutch lets you heel-and-toe, and more importantly a brake with progressive resistance lets you modulate pressure instead of guessing at it, which is where consistency over a long stint comes from.

On mounting: the attachment system and its metal fastening screw are part of the product and shown in Thrustmaster’s own manual, so the wheel clamps to a desk or table out of the box. Thrustmaster also sells a separate heavy-duty racing clamp as an optional accessory for people running a rig, but you do not need it simply to attach the Thrustmaster T300RS to a table.

The Thrustmaster T300RS base also carries Thrustmaster’s Quick Release, so the GT rim can be swapped for other Thrustmaster wheels later without replacing the base.

Which Consoles and Which Games

Thrustmaster’s manual for the Thrustmaster T300RS states that it is for PlayStation 5 consoles, PlayStation 4 consoles and PC. The Thrustmaster support pages for the T300RS GT Edition additionally list PlayStation 3. On PC, Thrustmaster notes that the USB sliding switch on the base must always be set to the PS3 position for the wheel to work correctly.

Game support on PS5 needs a careful reading, because it works in two ways. Thrustmaster’s wording is that on PlayStation 5 the racing wheel also works with all PS4-compatible games in its PlayStation 4 list, which is the larger group by far. Separately, the page names native PS5 titles including DiRT 5, F1 2021, Monster Truck Championship, WRC 9 and Wreckfest.

For Gran Turismo 7 specifically, Thrustmaster publishes a downloadable button mapping for the game on this product’s own page, which is the manufacturer’s own indication of support.

The honest summary: the Thrustmaster T300RS only works in games that were written to support wheels at all. Before you buy for one particular title, check that title against Thrustmaster’s own compatibility lists rather than assuming.

Who This Is Not For

If you play racing games with a controller and enjoy them that way, a wheel will make you slower for several weeks before it makes you faster. That is normal, and plenty of people never get past it.

If you have no permanent place to put it, reconsider. The Thrustmaster T300RS set is roughly 35 x 32 x 45 cm and around 10 kg with the pedals, it clamps to a desk, and it needs mains power. Clamping and unclamping it for every session is how a wheel ends up in a cupboard.

If you own an Xbox, this is the wrong wheel entirely. Thrustmaster lists PlayStation consoles and PC for the T300RS, and Xbox is not among them.

If you already have a direct drive wheel, the Thrustmaster T300RS is a sideways move at best. And if you want a load cell brake, note that the included T3PA-GT is a potentiometer-based pedal set with a conical rubber brake mod, not a load cell. Thrustmaster sells load cell pedals separately, which is an extra cost on top of a set you already own.

FAQ

Are the pedals included, or do I buy them separately?

Yes, included. The GT Edition ships with the T3PA-GT three-pedal set, with a 100% metal pedal head and adjustable height, spacing and inclination.

Is a table clamp included?

Yes. The attachment system and its metal fastening screw are part of the Thrustmaster T300RS and appear in Thrustmaster’s own manual, so the wheel mounts to a desk or table out of the box. A separate heavy-duty racing clamp exists as an optional accessory for rigs.

Which consoles does the Thrustmaster T300RS work on?

3 PlayStation generations plus PC. The manual lists PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC, and Thrustmaster’s support pages also list PlayStation 3. It does not work on Xbox.

Does it work with Gran Turismo 7?

Yes. Thrustmaster publishes a downloadable button mapping for Gran Turismo 7 on the Thrustmaster T300RS product page, which is the manufacturer’s own indication of support.

How does it work with PS5 games?

Thrustmaster states that on PlayStation 5 the wheel also works with all PS4-compatible games in its PlayStation 4 list, and separately names native PS5 titles including DiRT 5, F1 2021, Monster Truck Championship, WRC 9 and Wreckfest.

Does it really rotate 1080 degrees?

Yes, up to 1080 degrees. Thrustmaster’s manual describes the wheel sweeping that full range while self-calibrating at power-on, but the angle actually used is set by each game and is normally configured lower for circuit racing.

Is the brake a load cell?

No. The included T3PA-GT brake uses a conical rubber modification to give progressive resistance rather than a load cell. Thrustmaster sells load cell pedals as a separate purchase.
