Clubsport DD vs. Podium DD Vs. Clubsport DD+

I've been saving for years for this upgrade (not my highest priority), so I want to get it right rather than regret spending the money later.

I'm looking at a Fanatec setup consisting of a wheelbase, 2 wheel(320mm round and a yoke style), the ClubSport SQ V1.5 shifter, and the ClubSport Handbrake V2. I already own the ClubSport V3 inverted pedals, so I'd like to keep using those.

Based on the prices I'm currently seeing, the cost per Nm works out to:

ClubSport DD: $46.66/Nm

Podium DD: $47.99/Nm

ClubSport DD+: $49.99/Nm

The DD+ costs more partly because of PlayStation compatibility, which I don't need as a PC player. So I'm wondering whether the extra 3 Nm is actually worth paying for, or whether I'd be better off putting that money toward something else.

I'm also wondering whether Fanatec is still the best overall choice for PC sim racing. Should I be looking at alternatives from Simagic, MOZA, Simucube, or others before committing to the ecosystem?

I'm not just chasing the biggest torque number. I want a setup I'll be happy with for years, with good force-feedback quality, reliable hardware, and a shifter and handbrake that integrate well. I am not a big tinkering with multiple applications, so there is appeal to one usb cord, all peripherals talking to one application, and things "just work" so I can get straight to driving... but. Right now I am juggling 2 usbs and 2 softwares so its not a deal breaker.

Fanatec GT DD Pro (8Nm) making a "whooshing / hooting" sound and slight friction noise on quick off-power / sudden movements when powered off. Normal or RMA?

Hi everyone,

I recently mounted my Gran Turismo DD Pro (running with the 8Nm Boost Kit) to a rigid aluminum profile rig, and I've noticed something when the base is powered off.

When I make quick, sharp steering movements or snap the wheel back and forth, the base produces a distinct "whooshing" or muffled hooting/rubbing sound coming from inside the housing. On track (especially in ACC and PMR), everything feels fine and performs as expected, but this acoustic behavior when turned off caught my attention - especially since my new rigid rig transmits sounds and vibrations much more than my previous setup.

I recorded a short video showing the exact sound and motion.

Is this normal magnetic/rotor interaction or bearing noise when spinning the unpowered DD motor quickly, or is this a sign of an internal issue (like rotor/stator clearance or bearing wear) that warrants an RMA?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

DD PRO 8N + GT7 PS5 - recommended drivers

hi, i have a DD PRO running a super old ENDOR a.g. software , and i thought about upgrading it now, but i heard that the new drivers are causing major problems in GT7 , i only play GT7 on PS5 so thats the only relevant compatibility i care about

- should i rather not upgrade at all and keep my old software?

- if upgrade, is there any version of the drivers software that works with GT7 right now?

CSL Elite pedals V2 brake pedal

Hey everyone. I just changed from Moza products to fanatec and the pedals I got were the elite pedals V2. Am I missing something with hooking up the brake pedal? All firmware has been updated. I've plugged them directly into my PC with the USB cable but they still aren't registering anything. I've unplugged the brake pedal from the base and back in, I've reset my PC, I've done everything I can think of but it just doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Shift knob update: first knobs shipped, new batch inbound

Quick update on the shift knob. The first production run came back with a finish that wasn’t up to snuff, so most of it went back to the shop.

The few that made it through QC have already shipped to everyone who reached out directly or filled out the early access form.

A new batch is due in about two weeks. The final few from this run are available at protomotoco and I’ll post again when the new batch lands.

While I was waiting on the knobs, I made something else: outboard shift paddles for the ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module. They’re laser-cut aluminum with a textured black powdercoat, hand-finished, and they mount with the included hardware or your existing Fanatec bolts.

Thanks for the patience, and for all the feedback that got this thing here.

Finally solved Fanatec app not finding iRacing after restart

This has been bugging me since the Fanatec App launched - every time I restart my PC (or the app) it can't find iRacing and I have to edit the game entry in the app and save again (making no changes) to get it to work. After what seems like years of this, I finally dug into the Windows Registry and found that the ExeLaunch entry was looking for iRacing's old executable file and not the new iRacingUI.exe binary. I changed it, and now the Fanatec App starts iRacing correctly even after restarts. I hope this helps someone else
