The Direct Drive Revolution

In the late 90s, force feedback technology changed the world of sim racing completely. Now we welcome the Direct Drive era, taking force feedback realism to the next level.
Outrunner Motor Technology

OUTRUNNER MOTOR TECHNOLOGY

Podium wheel bases use an outrunner-type motor engineered from the ground up specifically for sim racing. Instead of using a random industrial motor, our custom motors are tailored without compromise for sim racing.

GERMAN DESIGN WITH UP TO 5 YEAR WARRANTY

This heavy piece of solid metal is engineered with German precision and built to last for many years. This is the last wheel base youll ever need!
German Design with up to 5 year warranty

Direct Drive Without The Hassle

Its all in the details. Our thousands of design hours means that you can just drive and enjoy.
Wireless Data and Power

WIRELESS DATA AND POWER

The endless rotation of our direct drive motor inspired the development of a unique solution to transfer data and power to the wheel inputs and displays wirelessly. This means no USB cables are flying around which can easily get damaged and make it difficult to let the wheel spin in a drift.

FULLY CERTIFIED, PLUG AND PLAY

The Podium DD1 is the first plug-and-play direct drive wheel base, featuring integrated electronics within the main housing. Its as easy to set up as our CSL and ClubSport series products. Rigorous EMI and ESD testing ensures stability and longevity.
Fully Certified, Plug and Play

Ready for the Future

Not only is the Podium DD1 fully compatible with the existing Fanatec ecosystem, its also prepped for future upgrades.
OLED Display

OLED DISPLAY

At the front of the housing sits an OLED display. This provides endless opportunities not only for tuning your wheel base, but also includes features for advanced users, displaying real-time motor and force feedback data. Check the temperatures, torque curves, and avoid force feedback clipping. Too complicated? Just enjoy the graphics.

FULL BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY

Our proven automotive grade QR has been upgraded with a new locking system, retaining compatibility with all existing Fanatec steering wheels, while also being completely interchangeable. All new wheel bases and steering wheels will have changeable quick releases; in the future you will have the option to upgrade to a new QR system.
Full backwards compatibility
