8.8/10 Podium DD
A PC or Xbox racer in the Fanatec ecosystem who wants high-end 25Nm torque and premium accessories.
The Fanatec Podium DD is the brand's high-end base, delivering 25Nm of sustained torque (with higher peaks) and continuing the excellent feel of the ClubSport DD into the top class. Reviewers note it needs little damping, resists oscillation and reaches very high slew rates. Crucially for buyers, the Podium DD is PC-and-Xbox, not PS5, so PlayStation racers should choose the GT DD Pro instead. It plugs into Fanatec's full premium accessory ecosystem.
