Fanatec Podium Hub

Podium Hub: The Ultimate Core for Your Modular Steering Wheel

The Fanatec Podium Hub is the premium core component for creating a fully modular steering wheel setup. Designed for maximum customisation, performance, and flexibility, the Podium Hub allows you to combine Fanatec and compatible third-party wheel rims with a range of modular button and paddle components.

With a lightweight aluminium construction, dedicated processing power, analogue inputs, and a motorsport-derived quick release system, the Podium Hub provides the foundation for building a steering wheel tailored to your exact requirements.

Aluminium Monocoque

The Podium Hub features a lightweight space-frame design that surrounds and protects the internal electronics while keeping overall weight to a minimum.

The central hub is manufactured from a single piece of anodised aluminium, providing an excellent combination of rigidity, strength, and durability.

Lightweight Space-Frame Construction

The open construction helps minimise unnecessary weight while maintaining the structural integrity required for demanding sim racing.

The aluminium monocoque provides a rigid foundation for your steering wheel components while delivering the premium look and feel expected from the Podium range.

High Performance Central Core

At the heart of the Podium Hub is a dedicated ARM processor designed to provide fast and responsive operation.

The electronics offer low-latency performance, firmware upgradeability, and support for multiple inputs directly through the hub.

Key capabilities include:

• 10 integrated buttons
• Dual 16-bit resolution analogue inputs
• Dedicated ARM processor
• Firmware upgradeability
• DataPort-C connectivity
• Support for additional buttons, axes, and displays

The DataPort-C connection allows additional Fanatec components to be integrated into the steering wheel, expanding its functionality as your setup evolves.

Customisation and Flexibility

The Podium Hub is designed around modularity, giving you the freedom to build a steering wheel that suits your preferred racing discipline.

Mount compatible wheel rims from Fanatec and other manufacturers, then add additional controls and modules to create a completely personalised setup.

Whether you’re building a GT, Formula, rally, endurance, or custom racing wheel, the Podium Hub provides the core platform needed to bring your configuration together.

Wheel Rim Compatibility

The Podium Hub supports wheel rims using common motorsport mounting patterns, providing broad compatibility with a wide range of steering wheels.

The mounting interface supports:

• 6 x 70 mm bolt patterns
• 3 x 50 mm bolt patterns
• Fanatec wheel rims
• Compatible third-party wheel rims
• Selected full steering wheel configurations

Third-party steering wheels can also be used with a coiled USB cable connected directly to a PC, providing additional flexibility for custom simulator builds.

Supports Podium Series Modular Components

The Podium Hub is designed to work with a range of Fanatec modular components, allowing you to expand the functionality of your steering wheel.

Compatible components include:

• Podium Advanced Paddle Module
• Universal Hub button clusters
• Fanatec button modules
• Fanatec display modules
• Additional DataPort-C accessories

The modular architecture allows you to start with a basic steering wheel configuration and upgrade it over time as your requirements change.

Motorsport-Derived Quick Release System

The Podium Hub incorporates the QR2 Wheel-Side quick release system, bringing a motorsport-derived connection mechanism to your sim racing setup.

The QR2 Wheel-Side features an all-aluminium construction designed for strength, durability, and precision.

Rock-Solid Connection

The mechanical design of QR2 provides a secure connection between the steering wheel and compatible Fanatec wheel base.

The robust construction helps minimise unwanted movement while maintaining a precise steering connection, making it suitable for high-performance and high-torque simulator configurations.

Built for Modular Sim Racing

The Podium Hub is ideal for sim racers who want complete control over their steering wheel configuration.

Rather than being limited to a fixed wheel design, the modular system allows you to select your preferred rim, add the controls you need, and upgrade your setup as your requirements evolve.

This makes the Podium Hub particularly suited to advanced sim racing environments where flexibility and customisation are essential.

Ideal For

The Fanatec Podium Hub is perfect for:

• Competitive sim racing
• GT racing
• Formula racing
• Endurance racing
• Rally simulation
• Custom steering wheel builds
• Professional simulator setups
• Multi-wheel configurations
• Advanced Fanatec setups

Summary

The Fanatec Podium Hub provides the ultimate foundation for a modular sim racing steering wheel. Its lightweight aluminium monocoque, dedicated ARM processor, 16-bit analogue inputs, DataPort-C connectivity, broad wheel rim compatibility, and motorsport-derived QR2 quick release system make it an exceptionally flexible platform for advanced simulator setups.
