The all-new ClubSport DD delivers 12 Nm of consistent torque performance with incredible responsiveness and dynamics. Your favourite racing sim suddenly became much more realistic.

 

Direct Drive The Right Way

Not all Direct Drive systems are created equally. Decades of experience with force feedback technology have contributed to the many structural and electronic control optimisations in the ClubSport DD to deliver industry-leading performance in its class.

 

Smooth Operator

Not all Direct Drive systems are created equally. Decades of experience with force feedback technology have contributed to the many structural and electronic control optimisations in the ClubSport DD to deliver industry-leading performance in its class.

 

Consistent Torque, Lap After Lap

Engineered to meet strict cooling requirements, the ClubSport DD is the most thermally stable Wheel Base in its class, so you can have absolute confidence that the torque output and force feedback will remain consistent, no matter how long you drive.

Genuine Torque

Many mass-market direct drive systems fail to hold their claimed torque figures, gradually derating (reducing motor performance) over time to avoid overheating. The ClubSport DD’s efficient motor and thermally-optimised layout holds a genuine 12 Nm torque even in the most extreme conditions, for example running an endurance race at maximum force feedback settings.

Feel The Grip

Outstanding thermal stability translates to consistent performance, so you can always trust the information you’re feeling through the wheel. You can only truly feel the tyre grip and drive at the limit when your equipment performs the same throughout the session. ClubSport DD will help to train your muscle memory and become a better driver.

 

Lightning Fast Acceleration

The speed of the ClubSport DD servo motor allows us to fine-tune its behaviour with more accuracy than any previous Fanatec Wheel Base. This means your steering wheel can feel very active, clearly communicating the smallest details, while also feeling perfectly stable, and resistant to unwanted oscillation.

Fullforce: Force Feedback 2.0 For Direct Drive

The existing force feedback protocol was designed for gear and belt-driven devices – the only hardware available at the time. FullForce is a new force feedback protocol tailored specifically for FANATEC® Direct Drive. Leveraging the instantaneous response and zero backlash of direct drive technology, FullForce generates high-frequency vibrations for a new level of immersive effects. Feel the engine revs, and details of the road surface like never before. Only FullForce gives you the full experience of driving a race car.

Precision Response

Class-leading slew rate performance combined with the powerful processor makes every motor reaction incredibly fast and dynamic, while remaining perfectly stable. This behaviour lends itself to traditional force feedback signals as well as enhanced FullForce signals (in supported games).

 

Strongest Motor Shaft

The aluminium shaft inside the motor is the strongest we’ve ever made. The location of the slip ring electronics allows the shaft to be made with greater wall thickness. The bearing seat is also fully aluminium, providing strong radial load, rotational precision, and better shielding against EMI and ESD.

 

QR2

The ClubSport DD was designed with QR2 in mind from the ground-up. The QR electronics module is now fully integrated with the shaft, significantly improving its strength.
