Fanatec Podium DD: 25 Nm Direct Drive Force for High-Level Sim Racing

The Fanatec Podium DD is a Direct Drive base designed for drivers seeking maximum fidelity in their racing simulator. With 25 Nm of sustained torque and peaks of up to 33 Nm, this base offers a powerful, precise, and stable response even in the most demanding conditions.

Thanks to FullForce technology, the Podium DD not only transmits the main steering forces but also high-resolution micro-details: engine vibrations, asphalt texture, loss of traction, and subtle changes in grip. It's a base created for those who want to feel the car with a direct, clean, and realistic connection.

Real Power, Absolute Control

The Podium DD represents one of the most advanced levels within the Fanatec ecosystem. Its second-generation architecture, developed specifically for sim racing, allows it to maintain consistent performance without compromising thermal stability.

Key Advantages:

• 25 Nm of sustained torque for realistic and consistent force.
• 33 Nm peak maximum for intense and transient effects.
• FullForce technology for high-fidelity vibration details.
• Direct Drive design with a servo motor without belts or gears.
• Full aluminum housing for maximum rigidity and thermal dissipation.
• Pre-installed QR2 system for fast and precise steering wheel changes.
• Compatible with PC and Xbox using an Xbox-licensed Fanatec steering wheel.

Key Features of the Fanatec Podium DD

• Quick Release: QR2 Base-Side Type-F pre-installed.
• Mounting: rail system with T-nuts on sides and bottom.
• Extension included: 10 cm shaft to improve monitor position.

FullForce: More Detail in Every Corner, Curb, and Loss of Grip

FullForce technology adds a new layer of information to traditional force feedback. Instead of simply transmitting steering force, it combines high-fidelity vibration signals with main feedback to recreate sensations closer to real driving.

This allows for a clearer perception of car behavior: when the tire begins to slide, how the asphalt changes, what happens when hitting a curb, or how the mechanical assembly vibrates during full acceleration. For sim racers looking to train, compete, or improve lap times, this precision makes all the difference.

German Engineering for Consistent Performance

Not all force feedback systems maintain the promised torque. The Podium DD is designed to sustain its true dynamic range of 25 Nm thanks to reinforced electronics, a new heat sink, and an internal structure built for high forces.

The segmented rotor with optimized angle reduces unwanted cogging torque, while patented FluxBarrier technology improves motor efficiency and smoothness. The result is clear, fluid force feedback without artificial interference.

QR2: Quick Steering Wheel Change with Maximum Rigidity

The Podium DD has been designed from the ground up for the QR2 system, Fanatec's high-performance quick release. Its precision tapered interface allows for a firm, play-free fit with direct transmission of every detail of the force feedback.

It is ideal for users who alternate different steering wheels depending on the discipline: GT, formula, rally, drift, or endurance.
