Expert selection
The CSL DD (5Nm, or 8Nm with the Boost Kit) is the best-value entry into direct drive. The ClubSport DD (12Nm) suits serious racers who want stronger, more detailed force feedback. The Podium DD1/DD2 (20–25Nm) is aimed at professional and competitive use.
Most Fanatec wheelbases work on PC. PlayStation compatibility requires a PlayStation-licensed wheelbase such as the GT DD Pro; Xbox compatibility comes from the steering wheel rim. Check each product's compatibility notes before buying.
Yes — Fanatec CSL and ClubSport pedals connect via USB and work independently of the wheelbase, so they pair happily with Simagic, Moza or Simucube bases on PC.
