Fanatec Podium Wheel Base DD1

Fanatec DD1: unrivalled performance for high-end sim racers

The Fanatec Podium Wheel Base DD1 (QR2) is designed for the most demanding sim racers. With its 20 Nm Direct Drive motor and advanced technology, the DD1 offers a highly responsive, powerful and precise steering experience. Every bump, grip loss or weight transfer is felt with impressive precision and consistency, allowing you to drive on the limit with confidence.

Power and control in perfect balance

The DD1 uses an industrial servo motor specifically tuned for sim racing. It delivers not only brute force, but above all a refined and smooth feedback. The force feedback build-up is linear and crisp, with minimal cogging and delay. This allows you to feel the smallest nuances in road surface and vehicle behaviour, from losing grip to going over curbstones.

Durability and thermal stability

Thanks to its advanced internal cooling system, the DD1 remains cool and consistent in performance even during long endurance races. Unlike many other Direct Drive systems, the DD1 does not reduce its performance during prolonged use. As a result, you enjoy consistent output without thermal throttling or dips in feedback.

Smart and user-friendly design

The DD1 features a bright OLED display on the housing that gives you easy access to settings such as force feedback levels, steering wheel rotation, and telemetry data. Fanatec's software allows you to create and customise multiple profiles, ideal for different vehicles or simulations. Firmware updates are effortless via the Fanatec software.

Ready for the future: QR2 compatible

As standard, the DD1 comes with the QR1 quick release system, which secures steering wheels quickly and securely. For even better power transfer, the DD1 is fully compatible with the new QR2 system. This provides a stiffer and more direct connection between wheelbase and handlebars, contributing to the overall feedback quality.

Broad compatibility within the Fanatec ecosystem

The Fanatec Podium DD1 is fully compatible with PC and Xbox* (depending on the steering wheel used). Thanks to its modular design, the DD1 can be easily integrated into a complete Fanatec setup, including pedals, shifters and button boxes. This allows you to put together your perfect sim rig based on your preferences.

*Please note: Xbox functionality is dependent on the mounted handlebar providing Xbox support.
