SimSightline / GT7 Wheel Settings
GT7 Wheel Settings
Gran Turismo 7 has only two force feedback sliders, Max Torque and Sensitivity, but they behave differently from other sims. Here is what each does, the values wheel makers and coaches recommend for your wheel, and a two-minute way to tune them.
Where to find GT7 wheel settings
- Force feedback: in the pre-race or pause menu (Quick Menu → Settings → Controller Settings → Steering Force Feedback): Max. Torque and Sensitivity, both 1 to 10.
- Vibration strength: in the main Options → Controllers (via the GT logo), not in the race menus. Range off to 150.
- Wheelbase settings: on the wheel itself (Fanatec tuning menu, Thrustmaster on-base menu) or in Logitech's settings.
What Max Torque and Sensitivity do
- Max. Torque (1 to 10): multiplies the overall strength and steering effort, so the car's weight and reactions feel stronger. Too high and the wheel clips: it stays at full force and you lose detail.
- Sensitivity (1 to 10): how many small effects come through, boosting short, sudden forces for more detail. It adds some weight too, but less than Max Torque.
- Vibration: mainly affects wheels with audio-based effects (Logitech TRUEFORCE, Thrustmaster T-GT II). Higher values make kerbs easier to feel but add engine and tyre-slip buzz.
Wheel makers often set Sensitivity to 1 and let the wheel's own settings add detail, while coaches running strong direct drive go up to 8 to 10 for more detail. Both work; it depends on your wheel and taste.
Tune GT7 force feedback in two minutes
- Set Sensitivity to 1 and pick a car and track you know.
- Raise Max Torque one step at a time until the wheel stops getting heavier in fast corners, then back off one step.
- Raise Sensitivity until extra detail stops adding anything, then back off one or two steps.
- Adjust per car: fast race cars (Gr.3, Gr.1, high PP) produce more force, so they need lower Max Torque than road cars.

| Wheel | Max Torque | Sensitivity | Vibration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fanatec GT DD Pro / CSL DD (Fanatec) | 5 | 1 | To taste |
| Logitech G PRO (Logitech) | 10 road cars, 5 race (Gr.) cars | 1 | 35 to 150 |
| Logitech RS50 (Logitech) | 10 road cars, 5 race (Gr.) cars | 1 | 100 |
| Logitech RS50 (Coach Dave, more detail) | 5 (±1) | 10 | About 75 |
| Logitech G29 / G923 | 4 to 5 | 4 | Off on G923 (TRUEFORCE can mask detail) |
| Thrustmaster T598 (Thrustmaster) | 7 (under 600 PP), 6 (600–700), 5 (700–800), 3 (over 800) | 1 | To taste |
| Thrustmaster T-GT II | Use the method above | 1 to start | Sets T-DFB strength (0 to 150) |
| Other Thrustmaster (T300, T248) | Mid-range, use the method above | A couple of steps lower | Low |
Fanatec, Logitech and Thrustmaster values are the makers' published settings as compiled by SimRacingCockpit (game v1.71); G29/G923 from Sim Racing Setups; RS50 alternative from Coach Dave Academy. Logitech's own pages differ on G PRO vibration (35 or 150), so we show the range.
Wheelbase settings for GT7
- Fanatec GT DD Pro (tuning menu): SEN Auto, FF 100, FFS Peak, NDP 38, NFR off, NIN off, INT 2, FEI 100, FOR 100, SPR 100, DPR 100. Or use Auto Setup ("AS") in the tuning menu to apply Polyphony's values. Update the Fanatec App to fix stability issues with recent GT7 versions. More, including FullForce and alternatives: GT DD Pro settings.
- Fanatec Podium (high torque): SEN Auto, FF 42, FFS Peak, NDP 35, NFR 3, INT 1, FEI 100.
- Logitech G PRO: strength 11 Nm, FFB filter 8, dampener 15, TRUEFORCE audio 100, angle set by the game. Other games: G PRO settings.
- Logitech RS50: strength 8 Nm, FFB filter 6, dampener 20, TRUEFORCE audio 100, angle set by the game. All games: RS50 settings.
- Thrustmaster T598 (PS5 red mode, FFB 2 preset; full guide: T598 settings): master gain 100%, mode P, inertia high, friction off, boost low −2, boost high +2, wheel damper 0%, game damper low, spring auto, end stop high.
Other GT7 settings for wheel users
- Steering angle: let the game set it (leave the wheel at its maximum or "auto"), so each car uses its real steering lock.
- Countersteering assistance: off once you are comfortable; it fights your inputs.
- Traction control: keep it low but on in powerful cars while learning.
- View and seat: use the cockpit view and put your screen as close as you can behind the wheel, so the view looks closer to real size. See our TV guide and seat position guide.

FAQ
What are the best steering wheel settings for Gran Turismo 7?
Start with Sensitivity 1, raise Max Torque until the wheel stops getting heavier in fast corners and back off one step, then raise Sensitivity for detail. Makers' starting points: Fanatec GT DD Pro 5 and 1, Logitech G PRO and RS50 10 (road) or 5 (race cars) and 1, Thrustmaster T598 3 to 7 depending on car PP, with Sensitivity 1.
What are the best GT7 settings for the Logitech G29?
Max Torque 4 to 5 and Sensitivity 4 is a common starting point. Lower Max Torque if the wheel feels flat in fast corners. Settings for other games: Logitech G29 settings.
What are the best settings for the Logitech G PRO in Gran Turismo 7?
Logitech recommends strength 11 Nm, FFB filter 8 and dampener 15 on the wheel, with Max Torque 10 for road cars or 5 for race cars and Sensitivity 1 in game.
How do I set up my steering wheel in GT7?
Connect the wheel before starting the game, check it appears in Options → Controllers, then set Max Torque and Sensitivity in the pre-race or pause menu and vibration in Options.
Why does my wheel feel weak or dead in fast corners in GT7?
Max Torque is too high and the wheel is clipping. Lower it one or two steps, especially in fast race cars.
Does GT7 support MOZA wheels?
MOZA announced PlayStation-compatible wheels in September 2026 but had not published GT7 settings when we checked. Fanatec, Logitech and Thrustmaster PlayStation wheels are supported.
