Anyways, I was only able to mess around with it for a half-hour. The Podium DD was delivered days, if not weeks before FedEx usually gets around to it - an early Christmas for me If I could post pictures, I would. Thu 2nd Dec Finally got my new setup (cockpit & wheelbase) up & going.But if want the immersion (like me), and want the detail to read what your car is doing on the road (for example, knowing that your car is about to lose traction and being able to react milliseconds sooner), then you'll have to pay more for higher quality equipment. More expensive equipment doesn't make you faster or better. TLDR IMO, Thrustmaster is a jump up from Logitech and Fanatec is a jump up from Thrustmaster.and I have owned wheels/pedals from all 3 companies in the past year.□ But absolutely nothing wrong with running with a G27 or G29 to race with - if you're the competitive type, you can be a champion with those wheels. (I've seen some pedals from other brands cost $1800 or more!!!) ![]() And yet, they are still considered entry-level in some regards. (Also, this "Gran Turismo" wheelbase is compatible with Xbox when paired with an Xbox wheel, cross-platform which is rare, and it gets you into the Fanatec ecosystem of compatible products.) Fanatec quality is really top notch, their products use mostly metals, and very little plastic, which is why their stuff is considered "not toys". So to be able to get a DD wheelbase, wheel & pedals for $700 is a really good deal. Direct Drive (DD) wheelbases (not including actual wheels aka rims, or pedals, or shifters) typically range from $1200 to about $3200, from what I have seen. Sim racing is a very niche market, an enthusiast market. But, if only you knew the prices for this market and this kind of tech□ I understand many people in the comments feeling that the cost is outrageous - and to some extent, I agree.
