Known Issues 

  • It can happen that after the driver installation or firmware update the wheel base is not shown in the device list anymore. In this case open the driver installation again and run the repair function.
  • Podium wheel base jolts can still happen on ITM or analysis screens of the DDs display. A workaround is to use the default screen with “Fanatec” logo while driving. 
  • In combination with FanaLab and a SEN AUTO setting, the steering angle can change to 360 even though it should be 1080. A workaround is to open the driver interface once or use SEN of 1080. 
  • ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module is shown as Podium Advanced Paddle Module in the driver and needs one shifter input to be shown on the test page. This is only a cosmetic issue, the input works as intended.
