iRacing: Dominate GT3 Racing with the T818 Ferrari 488 GT3 Simulator

The GT3 category is undoubtedly one of the crown jewels of iRacing. Between mastering ABS, traction control, and complex weight transfers, driving these 500+ horsepower beasts requires razor-sharp precision. Breaking benchmark lap times at tracks like Spa or Monza depends on driver skill — but your equipment is what turns your inputs into pure performance.

GT3 Racing: Why Your Sim Racing Setup Matters

Les GT3 sont des voitures complexes. Elles disposent d’un fort appui aérodynamique, de systèmes électroniques avancés et d’un GT3 cars are highly sophisticated machines. They feature strong aerodynamic downforce, advanced electronic systems, and handling that reacts dramatically to weight transfer. In iRacing, these characteristics are recreated with remarkable realism, including:

  • Grip fluctuations
  • Front-end grip loss
  • Suspension compression and weight transfer
  • Curbs and track surface imperfections

For sim racers looking to recreate the feeling of a real GT race car, choosing the right wheel and wheelbase is essential.

To meet those demands, we’re introducing an all-new complete setup: the T818 Ferrari 488 GT3 Simulator.

Built for Performance: The T818 Black Edition

At this level of competition, switching to a direct drive system is no longer optional. The T818 Black Edition has been engineered to eliminate as much filtering as possible between the track and your hands. Its optimized angular acceleration lets you instantly feel front-end grip loss or ABS activation the moment it happens.

In GT3 racing — where cars are heavy and subjected to massive aerodynamic loads — the T818 Black Edition helps you correct oversteer before it turns into a spin.

For uncompromising immersion, raw power matters. That’s why the wheelbase delivers 10 Nm of constant torque without saturation, ensuring smooth, ultra-responsive force feedback. It also features a new reinforced connector and an optimized motor assembly for improved durability and long-term reliability.

Unmatched Feel: Ferrari 488 Wheel Add-On

More than just a replica, this wheel is inspired by one of the most successful race cars in the history of the Prancing Horse brand. Built for competitive racing, the Ferrari 488 Wheel Add-On features 11 action buttons, a D-pad, 2 rotary encoders, and 2 thumb encoders.

This allows you to adjust settings such as brake bias or engine mapping mid-corner without ever taking your eyes off the track.

Its lightweight yet rigid construction also ensures every detail of the force feedback generated by the T818 Black Edition is transmitted with exceptional clarity, delivering an incredibly refined read of the road.

Raceline Pedals LTE: Master Sprint and Endurance Racing

In GT3 racing, where trail braking precision and smooth throttle application out of corners can make or break your lap time, the Raceline Pedals LTE become your secret weapon.

Built from sandblasted metal for outstanding rigidity, the pedals integrate H.E.A.R.T magnetic technology, ensuring millimeter-level precision with zero dead zones, lap after lap.

Fully customizable, the pedal set allows you to fine-tune brake feel with interchangeable springs and three adjustment levels, helping you find the perfect setup to avoid triggering ABS unnecessarily.

For total GT racing immersion, you can also upgrade to a three-pedal configuration with the Raceline Pedals Upgrade Kit.

Boost Your iRacing Career with the T818 Ferrari 488 GT3 Bundle

GT3 racing in iRacing leaves no room for compromise. The T818 Ferrari 488 GT3 Simulator setup stands out as the ultimate solution for sim racers chasing performance.

Thanks to the responsiveness of the T818 Direct Drive wheelbase, the race-focused ergonomics of the Ferrari 488 Wheel Add-On, and the surgical precision of the Raceline Pedals LTE, you’re no longer just driving — you’re feeling the race.
