We worked diligently to implement as many of the original design elements as we could so that the overall effect of the product was as close to Mr.
Over the next several months, with numerous meetings in both Japan and the US, the wheel began to take shape. Yamauchi’s design into a physical product in late 2006. Our engineering team had already begun working on an improved force-feedback mechanism and pedals design, and we were able to integrate these into the new wheel. His design again contained features that hadn’t been seen before in simulator racing wheels in particular, the Realtime Adjustment Dial for modifying car settings on the fly. Yamauchi approached us with ideas for a steering wheel to accompany the next title in the Gran Turismo series. The technical challenges associated with creating this product were significant, but ultimately our engineering team was able to design a force-feedback mechanism that became the foundation of one of the most successful sim racing wheels ever. Yamauchi’s idea to develop such a wheel, as the first Driving Force wheel was only able to turn 220 degrees and the extra rotation would allow for significantly more realism and much finer steering control. My first major project was the venerable Driving Force Pro, which introduced 900-degree steering with force feedback to racing simulators – starting with Gran Turismo 4.

Some of my most memorable experiences have been developing racing wheels for the PS2 and PS3 – particularly the Gran Turismo series.

and the mastermind behind the Gran Turismo series of racing games. Kazunori Yamauchi, president of Polyphony Digital Inc. However, the person who has had the most substantial effect on my projects is Mr. In ten years as a product manager for Logitech, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of awesome people in the gaming industry. As we enter our second week of the Logitech Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Challenge in the U.S., I thought I’d share some inside information about the development of the Driving Force GT.
