Fanatec Introduces DD Shaft Extension for Enhanced Sim Racing Immersion

Fanatec, a leading name in sim racing hardware, has unveiled its latest innovation: the DD Shaft Extension. This new accessory is designed to increase the distance between the Wheelbase and the steering wheel by 160 mm, enhancing the overall racing experience without requiring any manual cable connections

Verbeterde immersie
One of the key benefits of the DD Shaft Extension is its ability to optimize your field of view (FOV) by positioning your monitor between the Wheelbase and the steering wheel. This setup creates a ‘mixed reality’ effect, where the physical equipment seamlessly integrates with the virtual cockpit, making the racing experience even more immersive. The extension’s slim design allows your monitor to be placed low behind the steering wheel, further enhancing this effect.
