Embarking on a sim racing journey can be an exciting experience, but one of the most important considerations is the space needed to set up your rig comfortably and safely. Fanatec offers a range of products from simple desk mounts to full cockpit setups. Understanding the space, weight, and measurements involved can help you create the perfect racing environment.
Desk mounts like the ClubSport DD Table Clamp are ideal for beginners or those with limited space. This allows for the temporary mounting of a direct drive base (and wheel) such as the CSL DD or ClubSport DD to a desk or table. (The ClubSport DD Table Clamp is not compatible with the Podium DD1 or DD2. These bases are compatible with the ClubSport Table Clamp V2.)
