Fanatec has announced a new Direct Drive Wheel Base that will add even more immersion for simulation racing drivers. The company has announced the expansion of its famous ClubSport Wheel Base line with a new 12 Nm Direct Drive Wheel Base. These look just like the CSL DD in shape, and will be compatible with the entire Fanatec ecosystem and all major racing games. Fanatec also announced that a ClubSport DD+ with 15 Nm torque and PlayStation compatibility will launch soon, and it will work on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Direct Drive is now the industry standard, however they do differ in results.

The ClubSport DD is built for Windows PC and will deliver consistent torque performance, super-fast response and other fine details. The base is compatible with Xbox if it uses an officially licensed Xbox Fanatec wheel. The new ClubSport DD will include the new force feedback protocol called FullForce. This revolutionary force feedback technology is designed specifically for Fanatec Direct Drive. This technology is utilized by leveraging the instant response from the motor with the zero backlash of the direct drive technology, itself. It then engages by generating high-frequency vibrations for a new level of immersion that has yet to be seen.

With the inclusion of FullForce on the new ClubSport DD, players will be able to feel the engine rev and finely identify the road surface unlike ever before. The base also will reduce torque and provide crystal-clear force feedback information at all times. This is thanks to the motor design that includes Fanatec’s patented FluxBarrier technology. This acts by boosting both efficiency and smoothness under duress of the wheel. This will also be the most thermally stable Wheel Base in
