Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel vs Asetek Forte
Two opposite ways of selling a direct drive base. Logitech offers 11 Nm at 899.99 euros, with a console licence and mass-market distribution. Asetek offers 18 Nm at 797.48 euros, with no console licence, to customers who already know what they are looking for.
On the specifications we record, the Forte wins on torque and on price. That reading leaves out what Logitech brings beyond the spec sheet: a network of physical retailers, local after-sales service, and a console compatibility the Forte lacks.
They also have something in common that is rarely pointed out: both brands use their own quick release, and neither opens onto a rim catalogue comparable to Fanatec's. Asetek at least sells an adapter for other brands' wheels, which limits the lock-in.

Verdict
Choose the Forte for PC use, if performance per euro is your criterion. Seven more newton-metres for a hundred euros less.
Choose the PRO Racing Wheel if your platform is a Logitech-compatible console, or if buying in a shop with someone to talk to counts in your decision.
We have tried neither of these bases, and no score is given here.
