Fanatec Podium Direct Drive Wheel Bases Thread

[andrewhake]

Thank you I will review this product



I think it is way too long 1,20 m , do you attach a seat ? it is more of a cockpit stand it seems ?


It is a new product smaller than the other models, is it foldable ?

Yeah it's a cockpit that I use as a stand basically. I don't think you can use a short stand with a DD setup and be happy with it honestly.

Actually if you talk to the guys at simlabs, they may be willing to make a "stand" variation of these with shorter extrusions if you ask. Would be pretty simple to just have the main bottom extrusions cut shorter.

Yes I agree

Yeah I noticed that too. I was worried the 2019 would get a larger OLED and make me feel bad. But maybe it isn't the 2019 rim.

Unless formula rim upgrade to “podium series” , otherwise that small oled will stick on clubsport series imo

Noticed that the revision side mount bracket added 4 right angles , and the width are 40mm , guessing for 40 series Aluminium rig

Good catch, yeah seems so, good job Fanatec.

 

[rparker]

will these REALLY ship in a couple of weeks or so?

 

[JoshKM]

No reason to doubt it at this point - fanatec has confirmed they’re ready to ship.

 

[bjosim]

Cannot wait!

That colour is horrendous, what were they thinking!

The only thing the 2019 rim has me wanting is the "leather" grips. Alcantara is just not worth it for a racing wheel, it wears out too quickly.

Oh well, bought gloves for my new Clubsport v2 rim coming next week.

I wonder why the video disappeared.

I wonder why the video disappeared.

Hmmm, has too, interesting.

I wonder why the video disappeared.

I was too late to watch the video, so I'm curious:

• what the content of the video was
• why it is removed

More or less the same overview of the complete eco system. You can connect about anything in your desired combination also directly to the DD wheel base. Pedals, steering wheels, shifter, hand brake you name it you can choose your own style.

Indeed curious why they removed it. SimRacingGirl talked you through the video with her enthusiastic approach.It was enjoyable to watch and a good "T-16" - "in between" - "refresher video".

 

[kikie]

Complete Fanatec ecosystem or from other brands as well?

 

[bjosim]

Maybe it was a mistake to have that rim in the vid, or maybe they removed because they realized people didn't like how it looked. Or maybe something unrelated to that entirely. Either way, I almost regret saying the PS4 rim looked toyish. If anything looks toyish at all, it's paint trying to imitate metal. Changed my perspective, the PS4 one looks good to me now.

In the video were shown only Fanatec wheels.

The video has returned.

 

[kikie]

The video has returned.

I have said it before and I say it again. You are a valuable source of information.

 

[Pennzoil23]

The video has returned.
