PRE-ORDERS NOW LIVE - LINKS BELOW Last week we took a detailed look at the newly released Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro and put it through its paces to determine how the experience compared to the CSL DD on PC across a range of sim racing, simcade and arcade titles. Today we're continuing by comparing the experience in Gran Turismo Sport and will cover how the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro compares to the Logitech G Series as well the features of the new Polyphony designed Gran Turismo Wheel and how they are integrated into Gran Turismo Sport. We hope our review of the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro has helped you decide if this is the right product for you.

PRE-ORDERS NOW LIVE - LINKS BELOW This has got to be one of the most hotly anticipated sim racing products I can remember, so today I'm very happy to be showing you the "PlayStation version" of the CSL DD, the Gran Turismo DD Pro. Aside from aesthetics, the wheelbase itself is essentially the same as the CSL DD but with PlayStation compatibility, but also comes packaged with a Polyphony designed Gran Turismo wheel and CSL Pedals. It's also available as a bundle with the Boost Kit 180 and for those wanting an even more authentic racing experience, the CSL Load Cell. As we have reviewed the CSL DD and CSL Pedals with load cell kit previously, today's video will focus primarily on the unique features of this product and how the direct drive experience translates across to the PlayStation ecosystem. We hope our review of the Fanatec Gran Turismo DD Pro has helped you decide if this is the right product for you.
