Fanatec Podium DD performance

FEEL EVERY DETAIL

Introducing the official Direct Drive wheelbase for Gran Turismo®: it combines the performance of PlayStation®5 with FANATEC® Direct Drive technology, delivering the smoothest, most dynamic and most realistic force feedback sensations ever.

Power is simple. Control is engineered.

Designed to deliver significantly higher performance within the same footprint as the ClubSport DD, the Podium DD has been rethought from the ground up. The all-aluminium housing, motor shaft and front and rear bearing housings are engineered to withstand higher forces and more intense vibrations.

Torque is easy to claim. Engineering isn't

Many mainstream Force Feedback systems fail to sustain their claimed torque because of unstable internal temperatures. Podium DD is engineered differently: reinforced electronics and a newly designed heatsink ensure thermal stability, maintaining a true dynamic range of 25 Nm in all driving conditions.

FullForce: detail comes to life.

While modern sims 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.

Mechanical honesty.

The offset segmented rotor design naturally reduces unwanted magnetic cogging. Combined with patented FluxBarrier technology, which improves efficiency and smoothness, the Podium DD delivers crystal-clear, precise Force Feedback in every driving situation.

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 detail of the Force Feedback faithfully and directly to the driver's hands.

Stable even at the limit.

Designed and engineered in Germany, the Podium DD is the most advanced expression of Fanatec Direct Drive technology. Its proven, reliable second-generation architecture, together with robust electronics, makes it ideal for professional drivers, training environments and commercial installations.

    Built from metal

    The all-aluminium housing features redesigned front and rear covers to increase rigidity and thermal performance. Diamond-cut Fanatec logos complete the design with a touch of precision, reflecting the performance packed inside.

    Maximise your field of view

    The included 10 cm shaft extension lets you position the display between the wheelbase and the steering wheel, lower and closer to the driver. This widens your field of view and creates a striking mixed reality effect, where real hardware and the virtual cockpit blend together naturally.
