Reviewers who have tested the Thrustmaster T818 Direct Drive wheelbase are mostly unimpressed. The Logitech G Pro Direct Drive wheelbase remains the top choice among the new “mainstream” direct drive units. Some reviewers are comparing the Logitech wheelbase to wheelbases costing more than twice the price, such as the Leo Bodnar Direct Drive wheelbase which retails for $4423 US. The Moza R9 wheelbase is priced just under the T818, yet outperforms it in testing.
Logitech was always the winner with low and mid-range wheels, and now dominates the direct drive wheelbase market.

Serious sim racers know the difference between a toy and a tool. The Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Pedals delivers the real thing. With precise force feedback, stainless-steel paddle shifters, and responsive floor pedals, every corner and braking zone feels authentic. Built for PlayStation and PC, the G29 turns your sim rig into a true driver’s seat. If you want tighter laps and sharper control, this is the wheel that gets you there.List Price:
