TorqSmith: Fanatec Tuning on a Mac

torqsmith.com Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source macOS utility for reading and changing Fanatec wheel-base settings without a Windows PC or Fanatec’s software.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

TorqSmith communicates with the Fanatec base over USB while it is in PC mode, exposing steering, force-feedback, brake, paddle, and advanced tuning sets; presets can be saved, applied, imported, and exported. The page says each write is read back before completion and identifies a GT DD Pro as verified hardware. Version 0.1.0 supports macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon or Intel, while LED/display work, calibration, and firmware updating remain unfinished or planned.
