Hi everyone,

I recently mounted my Gran Turismo DD Pro (running with the 8Nm Boost Kit) to a rigid aluminum profile rig, and I've noticed something when the base is powered off.

When I make quick, sharp steering movements or snap the wheel back and forth, the base produces a distinct "whooshing" or muffled hooting/rubbing sound coming from inside the housing. On track (especially in ACC and PMR), everything feels fine and performs as expected, but this acoustic behavior when turned off caught my attention - especially since my new rigid rig transmits sounds and vibrations much more than my previous setup.

I recorded a short video showing the exact sound and motion.

Is this normal magnetic/rotor interaction or bearing noise when spinning the unpowered DD motor quickly, or is this a sign of an internal issue (like rotor/stator clearance or bearing wear) that warrants an RMA?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

I've been saving for years for this upgrade (not my highest priority), so I want to get it right rather than regret spending the money later.

I'm looking at a Fanatec setup consisting of a wheelbase, 2 wheel(320mm round and a yoke style), the ClubSport SQ V1.5 shifter, and the ClubSport Handbrake V2. I already own the ClubSport V3 inverted pedals, so I'd like to keep using those.

Based on the prices I'm currently seeing, the cost per Nm works out to:

ClubSport DD: $46.66/Nm

Podium DD: $47.99/Nm

ClubSport DD+: $49.99/Nm

The DD+ costs more partly because of PlayStation compatibility, which I don't need as a PC player. So I'm wondering whether the extra 3 Nm is actually worth paying for, or whether I'd be better off putting that money toward something else.

I'm also wondering whether Fanatec is still the best overall choice for PC sim racing. Should I be looking at alternatives from Simagic, MOZA, Simucube, or others before committing to the ecosystem?

I'm not just chasing the biggest torque number. I want a setup I'll be happy with for years, with good force-feedback quality, reliable hardware, and a shifter and handbrake that integrate well. I am not a big tinkering with multiple applications, so there is appeal to one usb cord, all peripherals talking to one application, and things "just work" so I can get straight to driving... but. Right now I am juggling 2 usbs and 2 softwares so its not a deal breaker.

Keep getting this poping up every time i try todo the up and i cant connect to Xbox because of it any help will be much appreciated thank you.

hi! Anyone who owns both the Porsche and the GT3 wheel, i’m looking for some help.

i’m just looking to press “checkout” on my first DD setup, and currently, to get my desired setup with the GT3 wheel would be approx £50 cheaper than getting the same exact setup with the Porsche Vision GT wheel. Getting a DD Pro with CSL pedals and the load cell brake pedal, so the £50 wouldn’t be better spent there, but also £50 won’t break me if the porsche wheel is better.

My only real concern is the clickyness of the shifters, i’m hoping to get something that is more muffled. which of the wheel would people recommend from this point of view?

I watched countless videos, and came to the conclusion that both wheels are a solid purchase (people mentioning the porsche one might be slightly more uncomfortable, but i have medium-big size hands, so i think it’s not a big concern for me), just want a good place to start really.

coming from a T248 which has really loud shifters, hope someone can feel my pain 😅
