As if Fanatec’s CSL Elite USA & Canada announcement wasn’t enough good news on the weekend, the following is hardcore:
Fanatec just announced their plans for their first Direct Drive wheel, which (of course) is located ABOVE their premium Club Sport line, coined Podium series:
Introducing the new Fanatec Podium Series.
The Podium products will be our hardcore range of products and positioned above the ClubSport Series. Of course the compatibility throughout the whole product palette will remain.
We try to set new standards in terms of functionality, performance and durability combined with the typical Fanatec attributes plug&play comfort, compatibility and a great price performance.
We will show the first Podium product at the Simracing Expo: Our new direct drive wheel base

Something went wrong.
too bad i’ve been sending my v2 back and forth from service since i got it. seeing how they made this motor special and aren’t using a standard proven motor I can not say i am excited to see this from fanatec, from my experience with fanatec it will just overheat,and fail , then they wont replace it with the new working version of the product, they will just keep sending you the failing parts. until your warranty is up and they have your money.
Thanks for stopping by, Eric! Your comment is much appreciated.
Personally, I’ve made the opposite experience with Fanatec wheel bases.
I had overheating and FFB fading with the Logitech G27 (countermeasures below link) and even Thrustmaster T500RS, but never experienced any fading with ClubSport Wheel Base V1, CSL Elite or CSL Elite for PS4 even after endured racing sessions.
With which Fanatec products did you make these experiences?
