One of the originators of the direct drive wheel base push, the Fanatec Podium Wheel Base DD1 offers up to 20Nm of torque.
That’s significantly more than the entry-level direct drive sim racing offerings from the German company such as the CSL DD and Gran Turismo DD Pro – both of which output 5Nm, or 8Nm with an optional boost kit.
However, the DD1 is significantly larger and trades at a higher price. That gap has now shrunk, today, 22nd August 2023.
The price of the wheel base alone has been reduced by $/€200, from $/€1,199.95 to just under a grand at $/€999.95.
