Which Racing Wheel Should You Choose for the Ultimate Driving Experience?
After Mexico and Great Britain, Japan now takes center stage in Forza Horizon 6… Playground Games’ franchise has always managed to combine dream garages, breathtaking visuals, and instantly enjoyable driving. But as engines roar and landscapes fly by at 300 km/h, one question arises: how can you fully experience Forza Horizon?
While a controller remains accessible and comfortable, a racing wheel completely transforms the way you experience the game. Precision, immersion, mechanical feedback: you’re no longer just playing — you’re driving. To help you make the leap, we’ve defined three driver profiles. Whether you’re a casual player or a true asphalt enthusiast, there’s a Thrustmaster setup made for you.
The “Casual Driver”: Immersion Without the Hassle
Your profile
You enjoy cruising around the map, admiring the scenery, and jumping into a few street races between seasonal challenges. For you, gaming is all about relaxing fun, but you’re starting to feel limited by your controller’s analog sticks.
The ideal setup: The Thrustmaster T98
The T98 is the perfect entry point into the Thrustmaster ecosystem. Compact and affordable, it offers far greater steering precision than a traditional controller.
The bundle includes a racing wheel and a 2-pedal set, allowing you to quickly immerse yourself in the cockpit experience.
The FH6 advantage
Instantly easy to use. Plug it in, start playing, and finally feel the difference between a compact city car and a supercar on the game’s winding roads.
The T98 is available on PS5, Xbox, and PC.

The “Asphalt Expert”: Pure Performance and Realism
Your profile
For you, Forza Horizon 6 is meant to be played without driving assists. You aim for the best times on speed zones and swear by simulation mode. You need hardware that responds instantly and precisely.
The ideal setup: The Thrustmaster T248R
The T248 is designed for drivers who demand more power and customization. With its dynamic force feedback delivering 3.1 Nm of torque, it rewards precision and punishes mistakes.
- Cutting-edge technology : Its onboard display shows more than 20 different pieces of information in real time (speed, lap time, current gear, and more).
- Premium pedal set : The included T3PM pedal set features 4 brake pressure modes, essential for avoiding wheel lock-ups during hard braking before tight hairpin turns.
- Drift mastery : Thanks to its precision and constant torque, the T248R allows you to control weight transfer and maintain stable drift angles — perfect for chaining clean drifts on Japan’s mountain roads.

Switching from a controller to a racing wheel in Forza Horizon 6 isn’t just changing your hardware — it’s changing the entire game experience. It’s the difference between watching and driving.
Whether you choose the simplicity of the T98, the balance of the T128, or the demanding precision of the T248R, one thing is certain: you’ll never look at the finish line the same way again.
