German Sim Racing peripheral manufacturer, Fanatec has introduced a new wheel rim that will be presented and sold at the famed 24 Hours of Spa endurance race. As a sponsor of the racing series, Fanatec is known to have events or product launches going on during the race.
This year, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the race, Fanatec presents its Limited Edition Clubsport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance Spa24H Edition. The new rim is designed to be used with a 24hSpa branded version of the existing Podium Button Module Endurance which has been on the market since 2019.
The 318 mm diameter rim features CNC-machined holes to align perfectly with the buttons, toggle switches, and rotaries of the Podium Button. It comes with over-molded rubber grips similar in feel to the Podium Steering Wheel BMW M4 GT3.
As we mentioned, this is a Limited Edition production, meaning that currently, Fanatec will only sell 100 units of the product at the 2024 CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa endurance race. Check out the FAQ below, for more details.
The Fanatec Clubsport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance will be available starting Thursday 27th, for €129.95, and knowing the popularity of the Spa Fanatec Fan Village from previous editions, the wheel will most likely sell out in no time.
However, Fanatec is planning to sell a regular version of the ClubSport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance on the Fanatec website in the near future.

How much is it?
- The limited edition ‘ClubSport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance Spa24H’ is just 129.95€!
I can’t make it to Spa, but I really want this product! Can I buy it online?
- We plan to sell a regular version of the ClubSport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance on the Fanatec website in the future.
Is it required to use a Podium Button Module Endurance with this product?
- No – but it would look strange without it! You can bolt the Wheel Rim directly to a ClubSport Universal Hub or Podium Hub, but you would see empty holes for the Button Module Endurance inputs. Note that this is a ‘Wheel Rim’, and not a full ‘Steering Wheel’, therefore you need at least a ClubSport or Podium Hub with Quick Release to use it on a Fanatec Wheel Base.
Can I buy other Fanatec products at the event?
- We are only stocking the 100 limited edition Wheel Rims.
Can I get my Limited Edition GT3 Wheel Rim shipped to my home address?
- No, you must collect it at the booth before the end of the event. If you do not collect it in time, we will cancel and refund your order.
You can also win prizes, including a fully-loaded setup with the new GT3 Wheel Rim (unit #1!), plus a Podium Button Module Endurance, Podium Hub, Podium Advanced Paddle Module, QR2 Pro Wheel-Side, ClubSport DD Wheel Base, and ClubSport Pedals V3 in our Hot Lap Challenge! And look out for other giveaways on-site!
