The Podium Button Module Rally is now available, alongside special steering wheel bundle using the original Sparco wheel rim.
This is our third product which is not a replica but an actual part used in real motorsport.
The Podium Button Module Rally has proven itself to be rally-worthy, having been used in every stage across the 2022 and 2023 WRC season in the M-Sport Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 WRC cars. It was built to M-Sport’s performance requirements, built extremely tough to withstand the most demanding rally conditions, while weighing just 280g. No unnecessary ‘bling bling’ - built for pure functionality and performance.
We are proud to work together with M-Sport, a team known for making some of the best rally cars in the world.
It is available in all regions:
Podium Button Module Rally
EU: 249.95€
US: $249.95
Australia: $419.95
Japan: ¥39,199
The Podium Button Module Rally is an incredibly versatile device. Because it mounts in front of a wheel rim, it is compatible with many different styles. It requires a connection to a Podium Hub or a ClubSport Universal Hub V2 / V2 for Xbox – this means that it works on PC in all configurations but can also work on PlayStation if you use a PlayStation-licensed Wheel Base, AND it works on Xbox as well if you use it with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox! This makes it the first designed-for-real-motorsport device that can be used on all platforms.
The Podium Button Module Rally made its debut at the 2022 Monte Carlo Rally, driven to victory by 9 times world champion Sébastien Loeb. To celebrate this historic achievement, we are offering a special bundle called the Podium Steering Wheel Monte Carlo Rally.
This includes two components used in the Ford Puma Rally1 cars: the original Sparco R383 steering wheel and the Podium Button Module Rally, as well as a Podium Hub and QR2 Pro Wheel Side. Note that if you wish to use this wheel a QR1 configuration, you need to add the QR1 Wheel-Side separately to your cart.
It is also available in all regions:
Podium Steering Wheel Monte Carlo Rally
EU: 699.95€
US: $699.95
Australia: $1299.95
Japan: ¥92,900
The illuinated buttons can be fully controlled and customized through FanaLab and the button symbols can be replaced. Even the Multi Position Switches are illuminated and of course it comes with an OLED Tuning Menu.
Watch this product in action in any onboard video of the M-Sport Ford Puma Rally1 WRC car.
Sim racing is about authenticity and it cannot be closer to reality than using the real thing!

I have ordered one, I will be converting my Porsche Podium wheel.
When the rim becomes available I will buy that too.
For the Endurance module removed I will buy and build back up with a Clubsport hub when these are shipped with the QR2.
This modular approach really is great 👍
Good product for the rich amongst us.
Hopefully will get an F1 style wheel with screen soon at a reasonable price? That;s what I and many others would like.
Dont need the expense of a "real" race wheel as I dont have a real racing car.
😪I would like to order, but I can't pay because Paypal doesn't work and advance payment is no longer available
"AND it works on Xbox as well if you use it with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox!"
How much functionality can Xbox users *actually* expect from this? Assuming that until Fanatec gets around to releasing its elusive Xbox SDK, it's going to suffer from the same limitations as all other current Fanatec devices that are "Xbox compatible" - dials and LED screens won't work, and most other buttons or toggles are duplicates of basic functions.
Might be fine for PC, but for Xbox, seems like it'll be a $250 paperweight.
Voted for "Formula", altough technically I will use it with a GT wheel (310 mm D-shaped open wheel rim).
Really looking forward to it!
A little sidenote: It seems as if rally.fanatec.com has pretty much been abandoned. The site still says "More details about availability and pricing to follow during the year" and I haven't received any notification despite signing up.
Voted as well for "Formula with a small and D-shaped wheel rim and the Podium Advanced Paddle Module" and got myself a GT Zero Rubber Rim (so technically also a GT D-shaped open wheel rim) and ... oh my god does it look amazing! My new favorite wheel for sure! :)
:o
That is cool. Hows the ergonomics on it?
This thread has had around 600 views, the merch thread is a similar number. The thread on the support and despatch failures has had over 8,000.
This should tell you something.

How are you finding this Rally Module, the formula wheel combination looks great.
I am still waiting for my order and there is no reviews out yet.
I decided to copy your Formula wheel set up, I now have the wheel which is really good. Looking forward to getting the module and building it up.

has this shipped to anyone in EU yet? ordered it when it was available, still no progress.
I thought this was expected to release Nov 20?
Mine is still waiting to be processed. Ordered the first minute it was available.
