Rumor has it that this is the base to go for GT7, most of the fastest on the international leaderboard use it. I found it perfect and on par with the CSW V2.5 in the belt driven world on PC.
I bought it specially for GT7 after 3 years of owning modded T300RS
I do not regret as far as GT7 is alive
Nice! its a great wheel for GT7.
Tire wear and tire flex feeling is top notch on the TGT within Grand Turismo 7 and I believe why the top GT7 users still prefer this setup over DD wheels. Very good car control. I also use this base for ACC and love the feeling of the Force FB in the game. Still an excellent setup in my opinion for years to come, I can go DD anytime and I'm in no rush, Cheers.
Awesome! thanks for watching and your input.
i want to get my first wheel, i’m really serious about racing games but controller doesnt do it for me anymore. do you think the tgt 2 would be a great wheel for someone who plays pc and ps4? i heard horror stories about fanatec csl DD’s back pins to connect pedals and shifter and how they easily crack, plus the fanatec wheel feels really cheap people say.
so can you please take the time to tell me about the thrustmaster tgt 2 for a first wheel? is 6.4nm enough to give me a hard time? i’d really want that. thank you in advance!
@@valkywie if you switch from PC and PS4 I think this would be a great first wheel but do your research still and figure out what may be best for your needs
Could you recommend a stand for this wheel and pedals which come with mounting screws
Hey, thanks for watching! Sorry but I don't have any experience with stands for this wheel. I would check out some reviews here on TH-cam. I did a quick search and saw a few paired with this wheel. Look at GT-Omega or Next Level. They seem to pop up often. Sorry, I couldn't help with this one but good luck; let me know what you choose if you buy one.
Great video love it!!! When you say the fan gets loud, Would you say it is after longer hours of use? Or more short term? I wonder if the fan noise would annoy others in other rooms etc
Thanks
I dont think it was loud enough to annoy others in another.
Upgraded from a t248 when prime Deals hit , got the t-lcm pedals tgt2 and sf1000 wheel , in loving every Aspekt of it! Ffb feels great on every sim i played So far , that beeing gt7 f1 22 and acc on ps5. Defo recommend this
I just got the T248 set, upgraded from the g29. I really like the wheel set and the pedals are awesome. I'm also looking at the T-LCM and this T-GT 2 for GT7. Do you still recommend it?
@@thelongnguyens yes 100 %
What is the fan noise like for you on f1? Does it kick it quickly? I need a quiet wheel for night time racing
@@kikarz88 I have been using the T-GT 2 for the past month, it's relatively quiet than the T300 and never had overheating issues, it runs like a dream! For night time racing in your case, I don't think there's going to be an issue at all. Very solid wheel and highly recommended.
Hope your T248 will last...mine give up after 5 hrs play time....they feel good for the price point....but i do really doubt they will last...@@thelongnguyens
I have this wheel and their load cell pedals hooked to a rig but unfortunately my wheel won't calibrate anymore it's 3 months old but their warranty services good and they're going to fix it for me
Glad to hear they are working to resolve it.
That song Eio by Valante at the end is so cool.
Yea I like it too Epidemic Sound has some great tracks
Funny. Peak pandemic and I could not find the TGT in stock ANYWHERE! I went with the Fanatec CSL Elite and do not regret my decision. When the GT DD PRO was released, I still couldn't the TGT II anywhere, so I went with the DD PRO. Since then I've bought some of Thrustmaster's more "economic" wheelbases and I've been having fun for what they are. I like the Idea of having my own custom steering wheels (Arduino and are recognized officially as a standard Thrustmaster steering wheel) to play with the T300RS/TX. So, when the Playstation version of the T818 is released I'm saying goodbye to Fanatec. I already own a high end Direct Drive wheel for PC (VRS DFP) but something about GT7 calls for my attention.
tgt2 was the absolute best choice to make up here in canada. I only had a grand to spend and all the DD options were going to cost more due to shipping and border fees and currency conversion. 300-500 more for the moza and fanatec options, and my disabled ass on a fixed income doesn't have the ability to save money. tbh, I shouldn't have got the wheel, but it was settlement money for my government having me raped and tortured in foster care because I was too savage to be raised with my own people, so I kinda wanted something fun since I earned that money in the most horrific way possible.
It’s a great wheel; glad to hear the hobby is bringing fun to your life; that’s what it’s all about.

Hi, what settings do you use in GT7? In the driver ?
Sorry can you clarify what you mean in the driver?
@@simracingden I mean the settings of the steering wheel driver on the computer , for example , on the sim racing garage channel , the steering wheel of the trustmaster T300 shows the steering wheel settings on the computer in the steering wheel program
I’ve got T300 RS and want to update to the TGT 2. Will hold off if I had a timeline of the DD T818 for ps5. Would love to know if this is a long way off like a year and I would grab the TGT 2
Hi mate i just upgraded from the T300 to the Tgt-2 today and i would highly recommend sticking with your T300! The Tgt-2 basically feels the same as a T300 with a very annoying GT mode where it just vibrates constantly.
My respect for the T300 has gone up massively today..
I’m actually very disappointed i was expecting a huge jump it isn’t
Having said that the Tgt-2 is a good wheel, it looks real nice in my opinion. The quick release feels a bit tighter and nice.
It’s sturdy and has some nice mounting foam on the bottom to prevent rattling.
And the wheel does feel nice to drive but so does the T300.
@@danielson3432 interesting comments, I'm looking at getting my first wheel and initially settled on the T300 and then seen the Tgt2 and thought yes that's the one haha but now I see your comment
@@golfboy7438 my message was more aimed at someone who already has a T300. It’s not worth upgrading and spending that kind of money for a minor upgrade. But if you don’t have a wheel at all and you can get a tgt2 for $100-$200 more than the t300 than yes it is worth it!
(If you can afford it that is) GL mate
@@danielson3432 Thanks
i got this wheel new for $400 i guess it was a good deal i was about to buy a t300… it’s my first time having a wheel any advice?
That sounds like a good deal, are you using it on pc or PlayStation?
I have more powerful, more expensive sets, but still use my tgt2 as well. I just love the thing. I have a podium dd1 ps4/5 version and the dd plus extreme on the way, but idk man I don’t wanna part with it. I love the tlcm pedals, Sparco handbrake and sequential, and a modded th8a. I use console so I can’t mix ecosystems, so I have 2 separate setups. I also have a ton of different wheels for it but tend to lean toward the tgt rim most the times. Most people get a direct drive and never look back, not me. I split my play time between them, I tend to be faster on the thrustmaster a lot of times, maybe cuz I crank the torque up on the other one I’m not sure, I’m gonna do a proper test to see which I’m faster with, usually people say the dd would be faster and more responsive, tgt is as fast and responsive as a belt wheel can be, great for rally and drift.
Had one for a year and used it a few times but never on gt7 I'm about to get a psvr2 and hopefully fall back in love with it
Get your vr2 yet my friend?
@@PageCrowes yes!! Absolute blew my mind crazy gave me migraine for a week I couldn't believe how real it was such a game changer
I use this wheel and its great, even more in F1 and ACC....vary under rated wheel....I just changed the padels to the TLCM load paddels
Liked and subbed 👍🏻. The algorithm lead me here, on rare occations YT is right 😆
I´ve been looking at this wheel for a long time. I currently use the T300rs, and the T-LCM pedals.
I have tried the openwheel as well, drove with it for about six month, but in the end, the diameter is to small, and its not suitable for all car types. Switched to the 310p-competition, and now it is the only wheel I use, ONLY for the larger diameter, the buttons has the wrong feeling I think, and the MFD is not precise enough, I sometimes get the wrong menus up, while driving.
SO! The diameter on the T-GT 2 stops me from bying it, because the only thing that I really want from the wheel is the button layout.
If I could mix my 310p rim with the T-GT2 buttons, it would be perfect. (I dont think thrustmaster understands that some of us are "grown ups", and require things to be a bit bigger 😁)
I ONLY! Play gran turismo, and have done since the first edition from 97.
I think that gamers that only plays console are a bit left in the dirt, we only get limited options with driving gear, that is frustrating I think.
Of course now logitech has come out with a DD wheel, but it is way overpriced!, and you cant get a shifter, or handbrake, so that is def. Not a first choice.
Thrustmaster however has a pretty fair customer service. I wrote to them about their coming DD wheel, and they replied a few days after, that it would not be compatible with console, PC only. (But after logitechs new DD, and the fanatec "cheap" DD they might have changed their mind?)
I hope so 🙃
It would be nice with playstation content, when ever there is news for us few people that only uses PS, and only plays singleplayer/campaign.👌🏻
Hey there! How do you find the t300rs? Is the fan noisy as hell? I’m after a quiet unit for use at night (I have kids haha). Also I was wanting to pair the t300rs with tlcm pedals and open wheel, only thing stopping me is the worry of the noise…any help appreciated
@@kikarz88 if noise is an issue, dont buy the T300,.. you CAN get fans that fits, and are super quiet, but you have to be able to replace it yourself, and a little bit of soldering( the original fan is 3-pin, but most GOOD fans are only 2-pin)
If you replace it, you have to use “ forced fan mode”, because with the missing pin, you dont have the temperature-reading.
@@j.rolfsted oh ok thanks for that. I have seen some reviews where ppl say it can get noisy when over heating but I dunno how bad? If you’re saying don’t get it, Then that sounds definitive. Maybe the tgt2 is quieter
@@kikarz88 its only bacause the original fan is too slow, and of a poor quality, mine began making noise already after 5-6 months (I believe the bearing in the fan was worn out), some people dont have issues, but again the perception of noise is individual 😁
I would def. Go for the T-GT2 if I had to choose now. 👌🏻
I'm buying this next week, after looking at Fanatec and never having anything in stock and then finding out the pins the wheel goes into have a tendency of breaking and a long wait for it to be shipped to Europe then back was finally made my decision for me, use it for a year or more and see if Moza or any of the brands get Playstation licensing, who knows, maybe Thrustmaster will have a DD wheel by then too
It’s a great wheel I don’t think you’ll be disappointed
I get my fanatec dd pro last week 8nw...600 motor..79 pedals 190 mclaren wheel
I’m thinking about buying this one so that I can get the sf1000 I have ps5 that’s why I’m choosing this one is thier any better choices?
With PlayStation, you are a bit limited when it comes to Thrustmaster. They have no direct drive wheelbase that is compatible with PS
@@simracingden yea it’s really unfortunate but do you think the T-GT ll is my best choice to match with the sf1000?
@@fwboogie9046 I think its your only choice so yes.
@@simracingden thanks mate
would definitely recommend taking all you're assists off and leaving abs on lol 😂
I'm running a fanatec DD1 and all I can say is that the T-GT 2 is still very much worth it for the price.
Yes agreed, what’s your favourite sim to play right now?
@@simracingden I'd say ACC but currently it's about 50/50 with wrc generations. Aside from the throttle lag in game with all my setting tweaked it really feels great.
I use this with my sparco wheel for WRC and the force feedback is nuts
Nice that’s awesome. What pedals are you using right now?
@@simracingden the load cell tlcm pedals also got the shifter with a clix beetle a weighted gear knob and the sparco handbreak. For the breaks I use red springs on the break and I tweaked the handbreak a bit to give it a harder pull back. Can't recommend the clixbeetle enough for the shifter
@@simracingden
Might not be direct drive but turn up the torque in wrc and feedback and you'll break your fucking hand lmao if you crash hard
Higher end crowd.... Top tier gt players are using it... I rekon is extremely capable
It is a very capable wheel
I just upgraded today from my beloved t300. And my first impression is I’m disappointed.
it doesn’t feel like a big jump up at all.. I would recommend sticking with your T300 base if your unsure. Buying this won’t gain you lap time or feel like anything special..
My T300 respect level has gone up!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It can be a bummer when you upgrade your gear and don't feel that excitement afterward. Moving to a Direct-Drive wheelbase could be the "big-jump" you're looking for!
So who wrote this script? “Unlike Fanatec, sold by the big retailers like Amazon and Walmart to name a few” is word for word what OC racing had in his video’s final thoughts. Of these were suggested by Thrustmaster, I believe you should mention that, and so should OC Racing. If you used OC Racing’s video as a guide, I believe that the channel should be credited.
But the exactness of that phrase in the final thought section of the video is too much of a coincidence.
lol, you're stretching my brother in christ.
Ok... not gonna buy this one :) Before the review i would...
What changed your mind?
Way too expensive for belt driven.
