FullForce: detail comes to life

Although modern simulators deliver accurate steering forces, they often fail to convey the subtle sensations of real driving, such as engine vibrations, the road surface or loss of grip. FullForce technology integrates high-fidelity vibrations directly into the force feedback signal, delivering a more immersive driving experience and allowing developers to add these precision effects.

Torque is easy to claim. Engineering isn't

Many consumer force feedback systems fail to sustain their stated torque because of unstable internal temperatures. Podium DD is engineered differently: reinforced electronics and a newly designed heatsink ensure thermal stability, maintaining a true 25 Nm dynamic range in every driving condition.

Designed for QR2

The Podium DD was developed from the outset for the QR2 quick release system, allowing fast steering wheel swaps. The precision conical interface ensures a solid connection and transmits every force feedback detail faithfully and directly to the driver's hands.

This is not a replica

Developed in collaboration with BMW M Motorsport, the Podium Steering Wheel BMW M4 GT3 is exactly the same wheel used in the 2022 BMW M4 GT3 race car.

Endurance-ready

We designed a steering wheel capable of withstanding the most extreme conditions inside the cockpit of a GT3 car, tested to the same standards as the real car. Thanks to its full carbon fibre construction, it is extremely tough and lightweight, perfect for the longest and most demanding driving sessions.

QR2 Pro wheel-side

The Podium Steering Wheel BMW M4 GT3 comes with a pre-installed QR2 Pro wheel-side quick release, designed for both real motorsport and sim racing applications. Made entirely from components CNC-machined from solid aluminium, it is built to meet the standards and demands of real-world competition.

Much more than meets the eye

The M4 GT3 steering wheel is packed with features, some of which are not immediately visible, such as the dual-action magnetic paddles, the analogue clutch paddles with adjustable travel, two additional rear buttons and the D-pad hidden beneath the BMW logo.

  • Podium volante BMW M4 GT3 parametri ottimizzati

    Race-optimised controls

    An array of 12 front buttons plus 2 rear ones is ergonomically positioned for quick access in any situation. The dual-action (push/pull) magnetic paddles let you handle upshifts and downshifts with the same lever, or can be configured as four independent inputs. The rotary encoders integrated into the grips, featuring Hall sensors, offer a positive click and high precision, ensuring reliability even in the most intense driving conditions.

  • Podium volante BMW M4 GT3 illuminazione

    Fully customisable lighting

    The RGB LEDs integrated behind the 12 front buttons and the backlit multi-position switches let you always find the right control, even in the most intense moments of a race. Programmable via the CAN bus in the real car and via FanaLab on PC, the backlit buttons can also work as RevLEDs or tyre slip indicators.
