is it just me but looking at the dd base none of the clubsport rims will attach, the connection pins are not the same.thoughts?
I think it is the other way around. All the old rims will fit, you see the holes are the same pattern, but the new podium rims will not fit the old base's. The new podium rims will have extra pins inside and bigger pins the three outside ....just my guess.
I can see that our current rims, will be able to fit the podium QR Shaft, aprt from the three big connectors or grip connecters there are two lil extra ones which will be redundent on current rims but will feature on the new rims yet to be announced, maybe a bluetooth feature i have no idea, ... but take note this is all just my thoughts
great news I am very interested in the podium DD base.
Since we will be seeing a new range of steering wheels as well later on I would like to propose that fanatec make a lamborghini steering wheel for the podium or clubsport series, maybe sesto elemento or the huracan wheel. Those look great.
How useful is a price without knowing what you get in return?
This DD will deliver plenty of features which no other solution offers on the market.
Dad... please... give me a link for pre-order.. i want it as soon as possible "and" in the first turn.... you are the boss .. and you can do "everything" ...

I second this request, would love a Fanatec Huracan GT3 wheel.
I like the video is like a beast, Frankenstein, coming to life in this case Thomas creation hahaha! good news, in my experience with Fanatec I have only good things to say, on service and excellent products in functionality and looks so I can't wait to get one.
Guys, just to clarify; is July 13, 2018, the release date, order date, or the announcement/specs/presser date?
Thank you in advance.
^^This!
Is that the date they go on sale, and, if so, are they available for immediate shipping, or is this a pre-order scenario?
If they're going on sale in July, I would assume the specs are already available.
It's an announcement of some kind.
We don't know anything about the exact nature of the announcement we are all guessing. Maybe I'll be lucky and Thomas will confirm some of this. Here's my guesses
Specs and model(s) info - 99%
Model pricing 95%
Pre-order date info 85%
Pre-order available 65%
Availbility vague in future 70%
Availibility concrete in future 25%
Order now, available now 5%
Meaning we are almost assuredly getting model info and the pricing. I think we are more likely to get a date further in the future that pre-orders are available than being able to pre-order on 7/13. I think we are likely to get a shipping Q3 or Q4 as opposed to concrete date like 9/1. But who knows we may be floored and it may be available to purchase, shipping now.
I'm as excited as anyone but please peeps keep it positive, many posts starting to sound like indignation and outrage that ALL info wasn't revealed NOW. Thomas and Fanatec will release more info in good time. I'm sure it's a complicated product and sorting manufacturing and associated costs take time. Fanatec isn't a multi product category giant like Logitech, they're specialists and a small team doing great things for enthusiasts. Just ride the bit at a time reveal train and enjoy it
I waited ages for the Nvidia 1080ti's to be released, but I got sick of waiting and grabbed two 1080's..... and three weeks later.
The way they speak of The Podium Series suggests to me they'll be releasing new shifters, pedals, handbrakes etc as well. I mean I'm not sure what else they could offer on the H-Shifter, but a hydrolic handbrake and pedals would be cool. I doubt 'she who must be obeyed' would aprove of more "toys'. Luckily the DD base is a nessessity because my current one's start button lights are sometimes green or red which is a sign the base isn't long for this world.
Don't do that. Even the weaker DD will dwarf V2.5. I hope the price of it will be in 3 digits. Guessing around 899-999 yourose. Personally, I'm not intrested in stronger DD, cause I don't have strong enough rig (racing at desk), and even for the weaker DD I'm gonna have to reinforce it a little. This summer will end quickly, tho...
I agree with Ben ! Lets take a breath , relax and wait for the updates to come as they come. We are not going to get our new DD wheels any sooner by being negative or demanding. I enjoy the build up myself. The only sad part is my V2.5 will be setting in the corner .
I would just simply like a release/shipping estimate, to know approximately how long I'd to wait to get one. I don't that's being negative, just not looking to be strung along month to month just to find out I have another six or so to wait. I was ready to buy a DD when this was announced. The only reason I didn't was because I thought it was coming late 2017. We're now mid 2018. I've already made other upgrades and have more planned. For me, upgrade-wise, I'm behind on the DD and just want to know if I should look elsewhere.

Well you should be able to make that decision on 7/13.

Speaking personally, I'm not complaining, just discussing the topic. I'm ordering an Accurforce now. With the base side conversion, I don't have to modify my Fanatec rims, so there's no loss. When the Podium comes out, I'll wait for the reviews. If it's notably better and has bang-for-buck performance, I'll buy it, do a hands-on comparison for a month or two, then sell the one I like least. If it's not notably better, I'll simply be done shopping.
Im going to wait it out... after waiting this long going a diff route is seem like giving up just short of the finish line.... TBH i dont think that the AF sale price is really gonna be cheaper than Fanatecs wheel base price... Nope Dont Quote Me i have No insider info just going off a Gut feeling... I know You been waiting a long time... we posted Many times about it on the Pcars forum... Im Very Suprised you didnt go AF DD sooner like Mopwr....but i think you will Regret going AF this late in the game the Fanatec DD is just a bit away.
I don't need rims, so I can order the AF Your Way package, which would only be $750 with the summer discount code. If the sale price is more, that's even better. The only way I could ever regret it would be if buying one meant sacrificing a Podium later, but it doesn't. I can fill the void now, and still get a Podium later. The only thing I regret is not buying an AF sooner.
It made sense for Morpwr, because he didn't have a Fanatec base so he had no rims to lose. He also went with an OSW. If you're going that route, there's less point in waiting.
especulamos un poco, ya que soy un potencial comprador de una base de podio y estoy dispuesto a esperar pero no a pagar más de lo que podría costar.
por lo tanto entiendo que el precio será alrededor de lo que cuesta un osw.
¿Qué puedes ofrecer para mejorar sobre los demás? No tengo idea ... No creo que sea necesario más de 20nm. Mover esas fuerzas es una locura. Usa tus anillos? Hay miles de conversiones de anillos fanatecas para implementar ... Implementar conectividad inalámbrica ... ummm Podría decantar el balance sin cables por el medio correcto. Por eso esperaré atentamente la evolución y decidiré qué es lo más importante. Interesante ... Entiendo que el seguro de fanatec estará a la altura si no está en precio si en calidad. Eso es seguro, pero el precio es bastante importante teniendo alternativas en el mercado.
