Fanatec was the first commercial brand to release a Direct Drive compatible with PlayStation. Last year, they also broke new ground with the GT DD PRO. Now, they have taken another step forward by becoming the official provider for the official competition of Gran Turismo 7 .
We are pleased to welcome Fanatec, the leading brand in racing simulator hardware, as the official steering wheel partner of the Gran Turismo World Series.
Since its foundation in 1997, Fanatec has made significant innovations in racing simulator technology. They popularized the use of belt-driven force feedback, introduced load cell sensors and non-contact magnetic sensors in their mass-produced pedals, and launched the first direct drive system for PlayStation®4. By expanding their expertise through partnerships with major car manufacturers and international racing series, Fanatec has become an invaluable part of modern motorsports. In 2021, they announced a project to develop cutting-edge force feedback racing peripherals through a partnership with Gran Turismo.
And now, Fanatec has become the official steering wheel partner of the Gran Turismo World Championship: the Gran Turismo World Series. Fanatec will have its own section added to Brand Central in Gran Turismo 7.
Fanatec has also announced that it will support and be the personal sponsor of 2018 Gran Turismo World Series Nations Cup winner and current real and virtual racing driver, Igor Omura Fraga. It will sponsor him during the 2023 Super Formula Lights.
