Coming from the DFGT, it's going to take some time getting used to. I'm expecting to get the TH8A and the T3PA add-ons, but the stock T300 pedals are extremely stiff compared to the DFGT pedals.
Until I get the add-ons I'm still using the DFGT and will always like it. I haven't fully played around with the T300 steering settings in GT6, but the wheel weight is so heavy that it detracts from the gameplay even with both sliders set to '5'. I'm guessing I'll have to go as low as '2' for my liking.
Overall I am pleased with the T300 and it will become my main wheel in the future for the PS4. 👍

FFB sensitivity is basically added wheel weight. You can set it to 1 without losing any real FFB forces. FFB Max Torque is however strong you want the real forces to be. But don't set it too low, this will drop the maximum wheel spin speed and mean forces lose their "crispness". Set it to a medium setting and accept that high speed corners or hitting the curbs hard in a real car also take some arm muscles
The T300 throttle pedal is actually slightly stiffer than the one in the T500 or T3PA sets, but the brake is a lot weaker. You will adjust quickly enough to this, however.

My biggest problem is the steering rotation angle, I don't like the normal setting, and it's really getting on my nerves having to change the setting everytime I start a race, especially during the GT6 Time Trials, where you could potentially be changing it every minute or so (or even seconds depending on how well you get on with the Trial of course)
I will play around with the sensitivity as suggested above, but in general, I can't get to grips with the wheel, so much so, I actually hate it, and as it's screwed down on my rig, it's not a quick job to change the wheel back and forth for comparisons.
I don't consider the steering to be lifelike either, I've never driven a car with steering like this, it seems rather rubbery and vague at times. Yes my friends, it seems like I have lost the plot.....

I only used my T300 long enough to set the FFB (7/7), are you referring to the T300 rotation dropping to 270 degrees in GT6 that was mentioned in the ISRTV T300RS PS3 review? I thought they fixed that since they added the wheel to the steering wheel list, is that not the case?

I'm not aware of the wheel dropping to 270, the default setting for GT6 is 1080 degrees although I've read somewhere else it's actually 900, either way, that seems too much for me, so I will have to continue playing with the settings. I have been getting on reasonably well with F1 2013 during this week, but went back to GT6 this evening with my friends on-line, and I really struggled. As a matter of interest, 270 is a little too twitchy for me.

I've had the T300 for about 2 weeks now...loving it! If you want a more real feeling brake, cut a foam practice golf ball in half and insert behind the pedal. Works great.

I see the price on this wheel has already dropped from 399.99 to 377.83 in the US.
Anyone seen it in any black friday sales?

I've had my T300RS for about 3months now. Great wheel, my only concern is the fan stays on for a long period after use. I'm talking about 15-30 minutes even longer after I finish using it. I usually use it for about 30 minutes to about 4 hours. Has anyone else had this happen to them and also would turning the wheel off before the fan stops do any damage to it. Thanks for replying.

Thanks for the tip. Great brake mod. Took me a few trys to get the perfect size. Brakes feel almost real.

Mine does the same, but you have to understand that motors weather electric or internal combustion continue to get hot after use, so I am sure Thrustmaster are just looking to protect our investments by ensuring they are properly cooled before shut off
Just think of it as a Turbo timer for your wheel

Hey guys. I've been racing for a few years now, started with GT prologue and bought a DFGT a little after GT5 came out. It's been a great first wheel despite going through two in that time.
Anyway it seems like my hand has been forced into buying a new wheel, there was a time I was looking to upgrade regardless but just didn't get around to it. Maybe one day in the future I'll expand onto PC but for now I'm exclusively driving on playstation.
Since I'm upgrading I'd like to go beyond replacing my wheel with a better version of the DFGT, I'd like to go to the next level. Pedal set including a clutch with load cell and or potentiometer (not sure which is best or if correct terminology) and an H pattern shifter.
I was looking for advice about where to start and what would be best value for money. Taking into consideration upgrade/modification options and above all compatability with my consoles.
Very much appreciate any advice guys, I like the look of the T300 and I'm looking forward to building it up into my next level experience

FYI, updated OP with two aftermarket mods. Anyone with these two mods on T300RS please share their experience.

Can you Guys upload some pics of the mod? I was thinking about something similar, but if you did it already... Show + tell!

Hi guys,
anyone with T300 RS and Driveclub?
I finally got the wheel base from RMA.
Strange think is happening - at least I think. When I turn the PS4 and connect the wheel to USB port, wheel spins and center. After that the force resistance is fine. I push the PS button on the wheel, wheel is registered to PS4 and the motor resistance (when turning the wheel to left or right is the same).
But... when I run the Driveclub the motor resistance of the wheel goes down little bit. So its much easier turn the wheel with less force.
When I close the Driveclub the resistance remains the same (lower) until when I unplug and plug the wheel again to USB port.
Can anyone confirm this is normal behavior? Or the last Driveclub update causes this?
Thank you in advance.

Anyone encountered random button presses from T300RS? Happened to me twice while playing the Driveclub, first time it changed my driving view and today not only driving view was changed, also PS and Share button was "pressed" in almost the same time and this screenshot was created by share button.

it works good, if I don't count button mapping not working, force feedback setting resets to 100%. If you like rally style hotlapping go for it. I bought T300 RS for similar price in the October and don't regret it. And if the wheel have some quirks you will have time to solve it in time for Project Cars.
