Massive performance.
The Podium Wheel Base DD1 shares the same technology as the DD2, with up to 20 Nm of torque.
THE DEFINITIVE DIRECT DRIVE SYSTEM.
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. Outstanding acceleration, ultra-low cogging, and exceptional holding torque performance results in a driving experience unlike any other.
GERMAN DESIGN WITH UP TO 5 YEAR WARRANTY.
Using the same core components as the DD2, the Podium Wheel Base DD1 is engineered with German precision and built to last for many years. This is the last wheel base you’ll ever need!
Direct Drive Without The Hassle
The result of decades of experience developing sim racing hardware, the Podium Wheel Base DD1 is a fully certified, plug-and-play system.
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. It’s as easy to set up as our CSL and ClubSport series products. Rigorous EMI and ESD testing ensures stability and longevity.
Ready for the future.
Fully compatible with the existing Fanatec ecosystem, the Podium Wheel Base DD1 now includes the QR2 Base-Side (Type-M).
OLED DISPLAY.
The display is used for accessing detailed Tuning Menu settings (adjustable while you drive), but also includes features for advanced users, showing real-time motor and force feedback data. Intelligent Telemetry Mode (ITM) is also available, displaying telemetry data from a sim (lap times, race position, fuel level, and more) when supported.
NOW WITH QR2.
The QR2 Base-Side (Type-M) is a motorsport-grade quick release system, fully CNC-machined from a single block of billet aluminium.
