1. How much torque does Podium DD provide?
The base sustains 25 Nm and can produce peak overshoot up to 33 Nm.
2. Who is this wheel base intended for?
Because of its very high torque, Fanatec positions it for advanced users and requires rigid mounting and careful safety practices.
3. Is a steering wheel included?
No. A compatible Fanatec wheel or hub with QR2 must be selected separately.
4. Is QR2 Base-Side preinstalled?
Yes. The metal QR2 Base-Side (Type-F) is fitted at the factory.
5. What is the 10 cm shaft extension for?
It moves the wheel away from the base housing, allowing the base to sit farther back while the display is positioned lower and closer to the driver's sightline.
6. Does Podium DD work on PlayStation?
No. This model is not PlayStation compatible and cannot gain that support through an update.
7. Does it work on Xbox?
Yes, when used with an Xbox-licensed Fanatec steering wheel and a compatible game.
8. Does FullForce work automatically?
No. The base supports FullForce, but the game must implement the technology.
9. Are cockpit mounting bolts included?
No. Four T-nuts are supplied, while the M6 bolts must be selected for the thickness of the rig plate.

12. How do I submit a warranty claim for a Fanatec product?
Simline.eu is an authorised Fanatec partner, so we act as an intermediary in the warranty process and handle customer claims. Email support@simline.eu or fanatec@simline.eu with a description of the fault and photos or videos showing the problem, then prepare and pack the equipment.
13. What does Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S compatibility mean for a Fanatec product?
Xbox compatibility is provided by a steering wheel equipped with officially licensed Xbox electronics. Once this steering wheel is attached to a compatible wheel base, the connected Fanatec setup can work with Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. The availability of individual functions depends on the steering wheel, game and installed firmware.
14. What does PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 compatibility mean for a Fanatec product?
The product can work with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 as part of a setup using an officially compatible Fanatec wheel base. Within the Fanatec ecosystem, the electronics responsible for PlayStation compatibility are located in the wheel base rather than the steering wheel. A compatible steering wheel, pedals and other Fanatec devices can be connected to that base. Available functions may also depend on the game.
15. Are Fanatec products compatible with a Windows PC?
Yes. Fanatec products are designed to work with Windows PCs. The wheel base connects to the computer through USB, while some steering wheels, pedals and accessories operate through a compatible Fanatec wheel base. The current Fanatec driver is required for hardware configuration and firmware updates, while the available functions may also depend on the game.
