Experience driving sensations like never before with the T598 and its Direct Axial Drive motor: the new generation of Direct Drive. This motor delivers perfectly smooth, cogging-free wheel movement for high-fidelity force feedback.
Direct Axial Drive Motor
Featuring an Axial Flux motor, Direct Axial Drive represents the new generation of Direct Drive technology for sim racing, enabling completely smooth, cogging-free wheel rotation. The result is high-fidelity force feedback and clearer effects. Feel every detail instantly, with greater precision and intensity.
Next-generation sensations
With a constant 5 Nm of torque and overshoot capacity to amplify its power, the system delivers over-boosted effects with ultra-low 5 ms latency. HARMONY technology generates high-frequency torque effects so you can feel the game’s full physics, down to the smallest details. Curbs and tire screeches have never felt so vivid.
Race Dash Display
Adjust settings and save your profiles directly via the Race Dash display. More than 10 parameters can be configured, including the innovative GEAR JOLT, which lets you feel gear shifts in the wheel.
In-game, the Race Dash shows over 10 racing metrics such as speed, best lap time, position, and race flags.
Detachable Sportcar Wheel
With its sporty and versatile design, the 30 cm wheel with rubber grips suits all driving styles. Its Mag-Shift paddle shifters provide clear, precise engagement, enhancing the dynamic driving feel. The multifunction encoder lets you freely assign 12 additional in-game actions to keep your favorite functions within reach. With its featherweight build (811 g), you feel the motor’s full power.
Upgradeable Metal Pedal Set
The Raceline Pedals LTE (Long Term Evolution) includes two H.E.A.R.T. sensor-equipped pedals for long-lasting precision. Customize pedal resistance using the different springs and the three adjustment notches behind each pedal. Anti-slip pads ensure stability. The pedal set can be upgraded with a third Load-Cell pedal using the Raceline Pedals Upgrade Kit (sold separately, coming soon).
Extensive ecosystem
With the T598, you enter the Thrustmaster ecosystem, one of the most extensive on the market. The detachable SPORTCAR wheel can be swapped for any existing or upcoming Thrustmaster Wheel Add-On, whether formula, GT, or rally-style. Add a shifter or handbrake for even more realism and driving immersion.
