Thi La, Chief Executive Officer of CORSAIR, said, “The new Podium series represents a significant step forward for Fanatec, driven by innovation, precision engineering, and a deep commitment to enhancing the racer experience. Over the past quarter, we’ve strengthened operations, improved quality and support, and advanced our roadmap with technologies that raise the bar for performance and usability.” “The new Podium pedals can be mounted individually, giving sim racers the flexibility to tailor their setup for any style, from GT to Formula. Our patented elastomer system allows each driver to replicate their ideal brake feel with exceptional consistency and long-term durability. And with the new wheelbase, the added power translates directly into greater dynamic force feedback and fidelity. Together, these innovations reflect our dedication to engineering excellence and position Fanatec to grow in one of the fastest-expanding segments of esports.”

Fanatec’s Podium DD is a high-performance evolution of the acclaimed ClubSport DD and ClubSport DD+, offering 25 Nm of genuine holding torque, revised electronics, and an all-aluminum internal and external structure. Fanatec’s Podium DD gives sim racers a broader dynamic range and boasts a stronger internal construction allowing it to deliver even finer detail and clarity from FullForce technology effects.

Developed in collaboration with professional drivers, new Fanatec’s Podium Pedals features the industry’s first ever forged aluminum brake pedal, providing ultimate strength and precision in combination with a 200 kg load cell. The innovative elastomer compression control system ensures that the brake pedal components remain within safe stress limits under all operating conditions. A special Podium Pedals Formula variant will also be available as a 2-pedal set with carbon fiber faces and heel cups.
