Podium Hub: The ultimate core for your modular steering wheel

The Podium Hub is the premium core component for the Fanatec® modular steering wheel system.

Aluminium monocoque

The space frame design surrounds the electronic components for the lightest possible weight. The central hub is created from a single piece of anodised aluminium for maximum strength.

High performance central core

Integrating a dedicated ARM processor, the Podium Hub is low latency, firmware upgradeable, and supports 10 buttons and dual 16-bit resolution analogue inputs. Additional buttons, axes, and displays can be connected via DataPort-C.

Customisation and Flexibility

Use the Podium Hub to mount wheel rims from Fanatec and other manufacturers, or even full steering wheels. Easily upgrade and customise using Fanatec modular components.

Wheel rim compatibility

The Podium Hub features mounting holes for wheel rims using the 6x70mm or 3x50mm bolt pattern. It is also possible to run third-party steering wheels with a coiled USB cable connecting directly to your PC.

Supports Podium Series modular components

The Podium Hub contains connectors for the Podium Advanced Paddle Module, two Universal Hub button clusters, and a DataPort-C connector for attaching Fanatec button or display modules.

Motorsport-derived quick release system

The QR2 Wheel-Side features an all-aluminium construction that is robust and durable. The all-new mechanical design of QR2 delivers rock-solid performance at the highest level.
