The Thrustmaster T598 racing wheel introduces a new generation of force feedback with innovative Direct Drive technology.
Built for sim racers who want precise steering feedback and realistic road feel, this system combines a powerful axial flux motor with a detachable 30cm sportcar wheel rim and magnetic pedal set.
The result is smoother, cog-free steering response with ultra-low latency for accurate driving control.
Compatible with PC and Playstation racing simulators, the T598 integrates easily into existing setups or complete sim racing setups, delivering an immersive experience for both competitive and casual drivers.
The standout feature of the Thrustmaster T598 racing wheel is its Direct Axial Drive motor. Unlike traditional radial motors used in many racing wheels, the axial flux design produces smoother steering motion with virtually no cogging.
This creates clearer force feedback effects so drivers can feel subtle tyre grip changes, road textures and weight transfer during corners.
The motor delivers 5Nm of continuous torque, with overshoot capability for short bursts of higher force when the car experiences sudden traction changes.
This allows drivers to react faster and maintain control during slides, braking zones and aggressive cornering situations.
The Thrustmaster T598 racing wheel includes a detachable 30cm sports car wheel rim designed for realistic driving ergonomics.
The rim features integrated controls, responsive magnetic paddle shifters and a comfortable grip suitable for long racing sessions.
A built-in Race Dash display provides real-time telemetry including speed, RPM and other in-game data. Drivers can also adjust force feedback settings directly from the wheel interface, allowing quick tuning without leaving the race.
The detachable design means the wheel can also integrate with other components from the Thrustmaster ecosystem for customised sim racing setups.
The Thrustmaster T598 racing wheel is designed to integrate seamlessly into the broader Thrustmaster sim racing ecosystem.
The detachable wheel rim and modular hardware allow drivers to expand their setup with different wheel add-ons, pedals and accessories over time.
Whether mounted to a desk or installed into a professional racing cockpit, the system supports flexible configurations for different sim racing styles such as GT racing, rally or formula racing.
Many enthusiasts combine this wheel with equipment from our sim racing controls, sim racing cockpits, and complete racing simulator packages collections to build a fully immersive racing environment.
The Thrustmaster T598 racing wheel is ideal for sim racers looking to experience direct drive performance without stepping into the ultra-high-end price tier.
