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.

Fanatec Podium DD

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.

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.

Sfondo Fanatec

Realistic magnetic shifting, multifunction paddles.

Use the dual clutch system as a secret weapon for perfect starts. The advanced bite point mode lets you precisely set your ideal bite point before the start, for a flawless launch at every race.

  • Fanatec CSL GT3 Paddle

    Never miss a shift.

    The magnetic mechanism is custom-designed to deliver superior tactile response. The rocker paddles, precision-machined from a single block of anodised aluminium, ensure smooth, natural shifts even with one hand.

  • p1_immagine_5

    Multifunction analogue paddles.

    Clutch with bite point, handbrake, brake/throttle and customisable axis — all at your fingertips with a simple flick of the centre switch. Brake/throttle mode even lets you drive without pedals, while always keeping full control.
