Can I run DIRT 5?
Ensure your system has at least the recommended 8 GB of RAM. For online play, a stable broadband internet connection with low latency is advised to achieve the smoothest experience. As with most PC games, you have full control over the in-game settings. If performance is a priority, you can fine-tune the graphics options from the menu—higher settings such as resolution and anti-aliasing tend to reduce FPS, while lowering them can significantly improve performance.

Which wheel should I get for DIRT 5?
Considering the range of vehicles available, a round or D-shaped steering wheel is a good fit for the vast majority of cars in DIRT 5. The CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2 is an excellent starting point, providing all the essential features at a budget-friendly price. For a more immersive and realistic feel, the ClubSport Steering Wheel RS is a great upgrade.
If you want to build your own wheel, consider getting one of Fanatec’s hubs. These allow you to either choose from a wide variety of wheel rims offered by Fanatec, but also third-party offerings if they have a suitable hole pattern to attach the rim to the hub.

If you race on PlayStation, a PS-compatible wheel base like the Gran Turismo® DD Pro or ClubSport DD+ are your starting point from which you can build out your rig.With these bases, you can use every other product in Fanatec’s ecosystem.
When playing on Xbox, you can use any Fanatec wheel base as long as you pair it with an Xbox-compatible steering wheel like the CSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC or the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox. This combination will also allow you to use any other Fanatec equipment.
