ULTIMATE DIRECT DRIVE
25 Nm Podium Performance with Motorsport-Grade QR2
The Podium Wheel Base DD2 delivers up to 25 Nm of torque through a custom-designed outrunner-type servo motor engineered specifically for sim racing. Built for exceptionally strong, detailed, and responsive force feedback, the DD2 maintains high motor acceleration and speed even when paired with heavier steering wheels.
Ultra-low torque ripple helps maintain smooth steering response, while integrated electronics provide low-latency feedback without the need for an external control box. Wireless QR technology transfers both data and power between the wheel base and steering wheel without external cables or batteries inside the wheel.
The DD2 is now equipped with the motorsport-grade QR2 Base-Side Type-M, CNC-machined from billet aluminium for a secure connection to compatible QR2 Wheel-Side systems.

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE
The Podium Wheel Base DD2 provides the ultimate force feedback experience with up to 25 Nm torque. Now with QR2, you can feel even more performance and fidelity from the motor.
The Definitive Direct Drive System.
Podium wheel bases use an outrunner-type motor engineered from the ground-up specifically for sim racing. Instead of using a random industrial motor, our custom motors are tailored without compromise for sim racing. Outstanding acceleration, ultra-low cogging, and exceptional holding torque performance results in a driving experience unlike any other.
Designed in Germany
The DD2 is the ultimate expression of our direct drive technology, thanks to our robust electronics designed for extreme torque output. Engineered with German precision and built to last for many years, the Podium DD2 is suitable for commercial and professional use.
PERFORM AT YOUR BEST
DIRECT DRIVE WITHOUT THE HASSLE
The result of decades of experience developing sim racing hardware, the Podium Wheel Base DD2 is a fully certified, plug-and-play system.
WIRELESS DATA AND POWER
We developed a unique wireless solution to transfer data and power from the Wheel Base to the Steering Wheel directly through the centre of the motor and quick release. This means no coiled USB cables and no need for batteries inside the wheel.
BETTER THAN EVER
Since its release, the DD2 has received major firmware updates to add extra features and dramatically increase performance. FFB resolution has increased, latency has been lowered, and the motor controller is further optimised for fine detail.
READY FOR THE FUTURE
Fully compatible with the existing Fanatec ecosystem, the Podium Wheel Base DD2 is now preinstalled with the motorsport-grade QR2 Base-Side (Type-M).
NOW WOTH QR2
The QR2 Base-Side (Type-M) is a motorsport-grade quick release system, fully CNC-machined from a single block of billet aluminium.
OLED DISPLAY
The display is used for accessing detailed Tuning Menu settings (adjustable while you drive), but also includes features for advanced users, showing real-time motor and force feedback data. Intelligent Telemetry Mode (ITM) is also available, displaying telemetry data from a sim (lap times, race position, fuel level, and more) when supported.
