Fanatec Podium Wheel Base DD1

Product Information

The DD2, by comparison, will give you greater dynamic range, so if you really love to wrestle with the car over aggressive curbs, you do a lot of off-road style driving where you really want the most immersive experience available, or you’re 20% stronger than me (which isn’t difficult), then, by all means, go with the DD2. In particular, watch out for high motherboard heatsinks and shrouds, and if the heatsink fins overhang the RAM, also make sure that there is sufficient clearance between the fins and the RAM.

For several years, the two Podium DDs have been the flagship of the ecosystem from Fanatec, currently probably the largest provider of simracing hardware. They help us to know which pages are most and least popular, as well as providing us information about how visitors move around our site. Since the DD1 and DD2 both have active cooling in the form of a fan, it’s also worth mentioning that because both wheelbases are using the same motor, there was no difference in the operation of the cooling fan between the two bases when operating at the same levels of force.

Developed in cooperation with professional overclocker and direct die cooling expert Roman “der8auer” Hartung, the NM-DD1 is a mounting spacer kit that makes it possible to use a wide range of Noctua CPU coolers ( see compatibility list) on delidded AMD AM5 processors. The Podium puts out a good amount of torque on paper too, but that’s the one thing we’re less impressed about: we didn’t use the Podium on max torque settings most of the time, and we doubt you’ll want to either.

So today I have both models here in the Boosted Media studio to not only compare from a feature set perspective, but pull them apart to compare the hardware internally and go for a drive back to back to see exactly what the differences are, and which offers the better value for money. The FFB does not show any weaknesses either, only the still unavailable QR2 and the required adapters for third-party steering wheels tarnish the overall picture a bit in the end. Installing the fastening bracket(s) with the printed spacers will require four M3x12 screws (for NM-DDS1) or a single M4x10 screw (for NM-DDS2). The Fanatec dd1 has 20nm peak but is older with worse technology yet the CS DD+ has 15nm with EXTREMELY new technology and full force. I am old, and i have been sim racing for a while, i still have my old clubsport pedals my Clubsport 2.Das Google Conversion Tracking Cookie wird genutzt um Conversions auf der Webseite effektiv zu erfassen. At the force feedback levels, I like to drive at, it’s perfectly capable of providing all the strength I want with a little bit of room to spare.

The crowning glory is of course the premium steering wheel from Fanatec, which is also used in the real BMW M4 GT3. The Podium Advanced Paddle Module improves tactile feedback on shifts, and adds dual analogue paddles. In the video shown, for example, only 32% FFB (DD2) was set in-game in connection with the small and light Formula wheel in Assetto Corsa Competizione. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.The various setting options allow you to individualize the base’s feel very well, which should be done in any case. To me, the DD1 offers better value for money as it provides everything I need to drive fast and consistently. So for me, warranty and accessories aside, it boils down to this…… The DD1 is a great wheelbase and will not leave you disappointed.
