This isn\u2019t just a force feedback base, but the complete steering wheel that attaches to it: the rim, Podium Hub, Endurance Button Module, and Advanced Paddle Module all combined into a single unit.

Depending on the version, two trim options are available: Alcantara (suede) or premium leather, both designed to resemble a real racing wheel rather than a gaming accessory. The Podium Hub, machined from a solid block of aluminum, serves as the backbone and houses an ARM processor that controls the modules.

Its strength isn\u2019t the price, but the wealth of features and build quality: screen, LEDs, encoders, clutch\u2014it has everything you need to race in GT and endurance events the way it\u2019s meant to be done. For those just starting out or who only race occasionally, this is more of a hobbyist\u2019s investment than a necessity. For those who race seriously several times a week, it\u2019s a logical step up to the top of the Fanatec ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"srg-faq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><details class=\"srg-q\" open><summary>Which sim racing wheel should you choose if you're just starting out?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Aim for a steering wheel and pedal set that\u2019s compatible with your platform, even if it means upgrading later. A belt- or gear-driven steering wheel is sufficient to start with; an affordable direct-drive model (such as the CSL DD) offers a much better feel if your budget allows. Our tests, rated on a scale of 10, help you compare options without making a mistake.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Direct drive or belt drive: What's the difference?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A direct-drive base connects the steering wheel directly to the motor: the force feedback is more powerful, more precise, and more detailed than that of a belt- or gear-driven system. It\u2019s more immersive but more expensive, and it requires a sturdier stand. For beginners, a belt-driven base remains a good choice.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Does this hardware work on PS5 and Xbox?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">It depends on the specific model, not the brand: with Fanatec, for example, PlayStation compatibility comes from the base, and Xbox compatibility comes from the steering wheel. Always check the console compatibility listed on each product page before buying, because a steering wheel designed for PC won't necessarily work on a console.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Do you need a cockpit to get off to a good start?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Not necessarily, but a stable mount is essential: even the best steering wheel is useless if it wobbles on a table. A foldable mount is enough to get started; a rigid cockpit becomes really useful once you switch to a powerful direct-drive base.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>How much should I budget for a good setup?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Expect to spend about 300 to 500 \u20ac for a decent starter set of a flywheel and pedal set, plus a mount. Affordable direct-drive systems start at a slightly higher price but last for years. It all depends on your platform and your goals.<\/div><\/details><\/div><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\n    \"@context\": \"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\n    \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n    \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n            \"name\": \"Quel volant sim racing choisir pour d\\u00e9buter ?\",\n            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                \"text\": \"Visez un ensemble volant et p\\u00e9dalier coh\\u00e9rent avec votre plateforme, quitte \\u00e0 monter en gamme ensuite.
