  • Fanatec Podium DD to for unveiling on 15th Janaury
  • 25Nm constant torque, 33Nm peak

Fanatec’s replacement for the venerable DD2 is nearly upon us, with the Landshut-based company confirming the unveiling of its Podium DD on 15th January.

Although the direct drive ‘base shares the outgoing model’s 25 Nm torque capability, this is a ‘consistent’ guaranteed figure, with peaks of 33 Nm promised.

The Podium DD shares similar design language with its less powerful ClubSport DD and DD= siblings, with passive cooling fins complemented by a mostly aluminium construction.

Fanatec’s latest wheelbase will be unveiled during the Sim Formula Europe expo in Maastricht, with visitors able to go hands-on with the new product.

Co-exhibitors at SFE include Simucube, Heusinkveld and Marcel Offermans’ The Last Garage sim project, which will be the platform of choice for an on-site esports competition.

The Podium DD will feature Fanatec’s FullForce technology, which will apparently provide accurate force feedback with ultra-low latency. An optional 10cm steering shaft extension is also included in the package.

No information has been revealed about the new wheelbase’s console compatibility or its price, with new owner Corsair hoping to kick-start the brand’s resurgence in the face of increased competition from the likes of Moza, Simagic and Conspit.
