Will the Podium Hub be QR2 compatible?

Hi, this might be a little premature but I'm looking to get the Podium R300 wheel which has QR1 Podium Hub.
Assuming I am planning to get the unannounced BMW GT3 wheel (QR2) when launched, my current wheel base will need to be switched to QR2 to fit all existing wheels (along all other QR1 wheels).
As such, is the podium hub QR2 ready/compatible?
Not too keen on getting stuck with a Podium Hub that does not allow QR2 upgrade possibilities.
Thanks.

I’m pretty sure that any of the existing Fanatec wheels or hubs that you can put the metal quick release on, are indeed compatible and have the ability to be upgraded to the QR2.
I probably found the answer to my question...
"The Podium Hub supports an exchangeable Quick Release, so it is ready for future upgrades."
Fanatec said the BMW GT3 wheel will cost "less than $5000".
That is good (only?) reason update QR1-->QR2 to all off your wheels and base 😶
I have zero problems with QR1 and not going to update.
Yes that's correct. Any wheel/hub that has an exchangeable quick release can be upgraded to QR2 (once the accessories are available).

Oh wow... Really?
Yes. But that can also mean 1€.
Even better, if you'll buy a BMW M4 GT3, you'll get one for free ;)
