Next-generation direct axial drive force feedback
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.
Sportscar wheel rim with immersive racing controls
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.
Built for the Thrustmaster modular racing ecosystem
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.
Who is the Thrustmaster T598 racing wheel for?
