Driving style

The R300 is a 30 cm round leather rim that covers GT, touring, road cars and prototypes in iRacing, ACC, Le Mans Ultimate, Assetto Corsa and Gran Turismo 7. Its mid size balances quick inputs with enough leverage for most cars.

It suits Fanatec hub owners who want one premium all-round rim. Best for GT, touring and road racing; less suited for large-angle drifting and trucks, and formula purists may prefer a flat rim.

Build quality

Premium build

Part of Fanatec's Podium line, the R300 combines brushed, anodized aluminum with premium automotive-grade smooth leather, gold stitching and gold anodized aluminum bolts. It has no electronics, and the leather handles bare-hand use well.

Software

The Podium Wheel Rim R300 has no electronics and needs no software. Inputs come from the Fanatec hub, configured through the wheel base in the Fanatec App on Windows PC.

Platform support follows the hub and base: Xbox requires an Xbox hub such as the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox, and PlayStation requires a PlayStation-licensed base.
