Hybrid Drive Force Feedback System for Realistic Racing Sensations
The T248R introduces Thrustmaster’s T-HD (Hybrid Drive) technology, a combination of gear and belt-driven mechanisms designed to deliver up to 3.1 Nm of torque with continuous 48 W power output. This hybrid solution produces stronger and more dynamic force feedback than entry-level gear-only wheels while remaining more affordable than full belt-drive systems. It allows drivers to feel the weight transfer, surface texture, bumps, collisions, and tire slip with impressive clarity, giving a highly immersive driving experience whether you are drifting, racing on asphalt, or off-road rallying.
Master Each Track
The all-in-one, versatile racing wheel, featuring a T-HD hybrid Force Feedback system delivering 3.1 N⋅m of torque, and accompanied by its 3-pedal pedal set. It incorporates a next-generation interface with color LCD screen and LEDs, andstands out thanks to its sporty new design.
Selectable Force Feedback Modes with Instant Adjustability
Unlike many other racing wheels, the T248R includes three preset Force Feedback modesthat can be toggled directly on the wheel without exiting the game. These modes range from realistic and balanced feedback for simulation purists to more exaggerated effects that amplify road feel for casual gamers. This adaptability ensures the wheel suits different types of racing — from precision-focused sim racing to more arcade-style experiences — and allows instant tuning for varying cars and tracks.
Strong, Stable Mounting Options for Any Setup
Designed with versatility in mind, the T248R includes a reinforced clamping system for secure mounting to desks or tables, as well as hard-mount points for cockpit and racing rig installations. This ensures stability whether you’re racing casually at a desk or competitively in a full sim rig.
Ideal Mid-Tier Upgrade for Sim Racers
Positioned as a step-up from entry-level gear-driven wheels, the T248R delivers premium features at a competitive price, making it an excellent choice for racers looking to upgrade their setup. Its hybrid drive force feedback, premium design, adjustable pedal set, and advanced features strike the perfect balance between performance, realism, and value.
Advanced Customization via Software
On PC, the T248R works with Thrustmaster Control Panel and T.A.R.G.E.T software, allowing detailed customization of axis responses, pedal curves, dead zones, and button mapping. Users can create personalized profiles for different cars, tracks, or games, ensuring the wheel delivers the exact feel they prefer for every racing scenario.
