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.
