First revealed as a Limited Edition (100 units) product at the 2024 CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, Sim Racing Peripheral manufacturer Fanatec, has now launched the Fanatec ClubSport Podium GT3 Endurance both as a barebone rim or bundled as a fully functional wheel, including the Podium Button Module Endurance, which is a full-scale replica of the Porsche 911 GT3 R wheel-plate.
This means that sim racers who already own the Podium Button Module Endurance can purchase only the rim. Those who need a fully functional wheel can add the necessary options such as the Podium button module Endurance, Podium Hub, ClubSport Universal Hubs, shifters, and quick release, or purchase the wheel in its bundled version.
The 318mm diameter ClubSport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance is made out of CNC-machined black anodized aluminum and features features over-molded rubber grips. The wheel includes both 25mm and 16mm bolts to ensure compatibility with and without the Podium Button Module.
The GT3-class endurance button module features 10 buttons, two 2-way toggle switches, a 2-axis analog stick, 7-way FunkySwitch, and two 12-position switches which can also be configured as endless rotary encoders. Furthermore, the button module is also fitted with a rectangular OLED display which can show you detailed wheel information and many telemetry data types.
The ClubSport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance is available for Pre-Order at €129.95 + Shipping and Tax (If applicable)
The bundle, including the ClubSport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance, Podium Advanced Paddle Module, Podium Button Module Endurance, and Podium Hub, is available for €579,95 + Shipping and Tax (If applicable)
