From the 5 Nm CSL DD to the 15 Nm ClubSport DD+ and 25 Nm Podium DD, Fanatec builds FIA-grade steering wheels, forged aluminum load-cell pedals, and turnkey Ready2Race bundles for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox.
Engineered in Germany in partnership with BMW M Motorsport, Porsche, Bentley, Formula 1, WRC, and Polyphony Digital.
Unlike wheelbases that advertise brief peak spikes before thermal throttling, Fanatec rates the ClubSport DD (12 Nm), ClubSport DD+ (15 Nm), and Podium DD (25 Nm) by continuous holding torque across multi-hour endurance stints.
FullForce sends high-frequency motor vibrations directly through the steering shaft. You feel engine revs, transmission shifts, curb sawtooth edges, and road grain layered cleanly over main cornering forces.
Every new Fanatec wheelbase and steering wheel uses the tapered all-metal QR2 interface. Swap between a 270mm Formula rim and a 330mm Sparco rally wheel in two seconds with zero mechanical play.
Compare Fanatec's top direct drive wheelbases, forged aluminum pedals, and Formula steering wheels.
Flagship 25 Nm direct drive servo with CNC-machined aluminum housing, ultra-high slew rate, and zero thermal fade.
Official PlayStation 5 and PC direct drive base delivering 15 Nm constant holding torque (18 Nm peak) with passive cooling.
All-new forged aluminum 3-pedal set with a 200 kg load cell brake, tool-free elastomer stack, and 16-bit magnetic sensors.
5mm solid carbon fiber faceplate, genuine Alcantara grips, magnetic paddle shifters, thumb encoders, and QR2 included.
Built from forged and CNC-machined aluminum, the new Podium Pedals series introduces a custom 200 kg load cell brake with tool-free elastomer compression adjustment, ball-bearing pivots, and a dedicated control box that connects directly to Fanatec wheelbases or via USB on PC.

The Fanatec ClubSport DD+ ($899.99) delivers 15 Nm of constant holding torque (18 Nm peak dynamics) and includes official Sony security hardware for native PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC support. The ClubSport DD ($699.99) outputs 12 Nm of constant holding torque (15 Nm peak) for PC and Xbox (when paired with an Xbox-licensed steering wheel). Both feature FullForce telemetry and QR2 quick releases.
The biggest year-round Fanatec discounts come from Ready2Race and ClubSport GT Cockpit bundles, which save between $50 and $335 compared to buying the wheelbase, steering wheel, and pedals individually. During November, check our Black Friday Deals Hub for Cyber Week flash offers.
FullForce is Fanatec's low-latency force feedback protocol built specifically for direct drive servos (ClubSport DD, ClubSport DD+, and Podium DD). It layers high-frequency motor vibrations for engine RPM, curb sawtooth rumble, and asphalt texture directly over cornering forces without muddying steering weight.
Yes. Every current Fanatec direct drive wheelbase—from the CSL DD QR2 (8 Nm) to the ClubSport DD+ and Podium DD 25 Nm—ships with the QR2 quick-release interface installed out of the box.
