The Thrustmaster T-GT is a racing wheel released by Thrustmaster on October 17, 2017. It is the PlayStation-compatible version of the TS Racer.

Like the TS Racer, it has the dual-belt-and-pulley-driven force feedback powered by a 6Nm brushless motor and controlled by Thrustmaster's T-LIN control algorithm. The brushless motor also has a built-in fan to dissipates heat. Field oriented control (F.O.C.) algorithm of the TS Racer had also retained. What set the T-GT apart from the TS Racer is that it has the T-DFB transducer on the back of the wheel base, developed exclusively for Gran Turismo games. As with many Thrustmaster racing wheels, it has Thrustmaster's proprietary wheel quick release system and hall-sensor-based steering position tracking. There's an additional Mini-DIN port on the back for accessories. It comes with a special Gran Turismo-branded steering wheel designed by Polyphony Digital[Note 1] and a 3-pedal T3PA pedal set.

The upgrade version of the T-GT, the T-GT II, was released on June 23, 2021. The T-GT II's internal components were now overhauled with the new AEC-Q-certified printed-circuit-boards for increased durability over long sessions. The T-GT II also added the real-time drift curve calculation (T-DCC) algorithm to maintaining the responsiveness of the wheel. Steering wheel and pedals were remain unchanged for the T-GT II[1]. Standalone wheel base of T-GT II and a package with only the wheel base and a steering wheel are also available.

On PC, Both the T-GT and T-GT II are compatible with games that support them, but requires the wheels to be in Other mode and have Thrustmaster's driver to be installed to work. The wheel's settings can be adjust within the control panel (See Thrustmaster Control Panel). Since the transducer function is a feauture that only works with Gran Turismo games on the PlayStation consoles, the transducer won't work on PC.
