DIRECT DRIVE PERFORMANCE
18 Nm of Consistent, Responsive Direct Drive Torque
The ClubSport DD+ is a Direct Drive Wheel Base delivering 18 Nm of consistent holding torque with fast response, detailed force feedback, and official compatibility with PlayStation®5 and PlayStation®4 consoles.
Its custom-designed servo motor combines an optimized rotor design with Fanatec’s patented FluxBarrier technology to reduce cogging torque and improve motor efficiency and smoothness. Passive cooling is engineered to maintain stable torque output throughout extended driving sessions.
FullForce technology introduces a force feedback protocol developed specifically for Fanatec Direct Drive systems, using fine motor frequency control to deliver low-latency detail effects. The ClubSport DD+ is also built around the QR2 system, with the electronics module integrated directly into the shaft for improved strength and connection integrity.

THE MOST ADVANCED DIRECT DRIVE SYSTEM OFFICIALLY LICENSED FOR PLAYSTATION®5.
The all-new ClubSport DD+ delivers 18 Nm of consistent torque performance with incredible responsiveness and dynamics. Your favourite racing sim suddenly became much more realistic.
DIRECT DRIVE THE RIGHT WAY
Not all Direct Drive systems are created equally. Decades of experience with force feedback technology have contributed to the many structural and electronic control optimisations in the ClubSport DD+ to deliver industry-leading performance in its class.
AN EXCEPTIONAL PLAYSTATION DRIVING EXPERIENCE
Combining PlayStation®5 console performance with FANATEC® Direct Drive technology for the smoothest and most dynamic force feedback sensations. Of course, the ClubSport DD+ Wheel Base works on PC too.
CONSISTENT TORQUE, LAP AFTER LAP
Engineered to meet strict cooling requirements, the ClubSport DD+ is the most thermally stable Wheel Base in its class, so you can have absolute confidence that the torque output and force feedback will remain consistent, no matter how long you drive.
GENUINE TORQUE
Many mass-market direct drive systems fail to hold their claimed torque figures, gradually derating (reducing motor performance) over time to avoid overheating. The efficient motor and thermally-optimised layout holds a genuine 18 Nm torque even in the most extreme conditions, for example running an endurance race at maximum force feedback settings.
FEEL THE GRIP
Outstanding thermal stability translates to consistent performance, so you can always trust the information you're receiving through the wheel. You can only truly feel the tyre grip and drive at the limit when your equipment performs the same throughout the session. ClubSport DD+ will help to train your muscle memory and become a better driver.
SMOOTH OPERATOR
By splitting the rotor into offset segments, cogging torque is naturally reduced. Combined with our patented FluxBarrier technology which increases efficiency and smoothness, the result is crystal-clear force feedback information in every driving situation.
QR2
The ClubSport DD+ was designed with QR2 in mind from the ground-up. The QR electronics module is now fully integrated with the shaft, significantly improving its strength.
LIGHTNING FAST ACCELERATION
The speed of the ClubSport DD+ servo motor allows us to fine-tune its behaviour with more accuracy than any previous Fanatec Wheel Base. This means your steering wheel can feel very active, clearly communicating the smallest details, while also feeling perfectly stable, and resistant to unwanted oscillation.
FULLFORCE: FORCE FEEDBACK 2.0 FOR DIRECT DRIVE.
The existing force feedback protocol was designed for gear and belt-driven devices - the only hardware available at the time. FullForce is a new force feedback protocol tailored specifically for FANATEC® Direct Drive. Leveraging the instantaneous response and zero backlash of direct drive technology, FullForce generates high-frequency vibrations for a new level of immersive effects. Feel the engine revs, and details of the road surface like never before. Only FullForce gives you the full experience of driving a race car.
PRECISION RESPONSE.
Class-leading slew rate performance combined with the powerful processor makes every motor reaction incredibly fast and dynamic, while remaining perfectly stable. This behaviour lends itself to traditional force feedback signals as well as enhanced FullForce signals (in supported games).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. The ClubSport DD+ is officially licensed for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The Sony license chip is built into the wheel base itself, so every Fanatec steering wheel, pedal set, or shifter you connect to it also becomes PlayStation-compatible.
Yes. On PC, the ClubSport DD+ works with all major racing sims. On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, it becomes compatible when you attach any Fanatec Xbox-licensed steering wheel, because the Xbox license chip is located in the wheel rather than the base.
18 Nm of holding torque. The ClubSport DD+ launched at 15 Nm, and Fanatec's free firmware update (v1.4.2.3 or later, installed through the Fanatec App) unlocks 18 Nm on the same hardware with no new power supply required. Run the firmware update when you first set up your wheel base.
All Fanatec steering wheels using the QR2 quick release are compatible. Note that wheels fitted with a QR2 Lite wheel-side are limited to 8 Nm of torque for safety — upgrade to a full QR2 wheel-side to experience the full 18 Nm.
FullForce is Fanatec's force feedback technology that layers high-frequency vibration detail on top of the core FFB signal, so you feel curbs, surface texture, and load changes with more clarity in sims that support it.
Side and bottom T-nut rails let you hard-mount it to aluminum-profile rigs like the Apevie RTR V2 and Apevie SP Cockpit (we offer Fanatec DD-specific front mount variants), plus most commercial sim racing cockpits.
