Fanatec FullForce Comes To iRacing

Fanatec have just announced the first Sim Racing title to provide native FullForce support - you'll need :

1. A Fanatec ClubSport DD or ClubSport DD+ base and Wheel Rim

2. iRacing 2025 Season 3 Build (launching this week)

3. Fanatec Driver 468 (not essential for FullForce to work, but recommended)

FANATEC - "...iRacing will be the first title to offer native FullForce support. The 2025 Season 3 build (launching this week) introduces a new ‘Wheel Low Frequency Effects’ menu, allowing users to fine-tune the behavior of FullForce with individual effects sliders. In preparation for this update, we’re releasing Driver 468, which includes new firmware optimized for FullForce output for the ClubSport DD and ClubSport DD+. This update is not required for FullForce to work with iRacing, but it is highly recommended for the best experience.

The overall strength of FullForce can be adjusted to your preference in the Fanatec Tuning Menu, (shown as ‘FUL’ in most wheel displays). You might notice the FullForce effects feel less intense than in our early demos – we’re already working on a fix for the next update. Here are our recommended settings for iRacing’s Wheel Low Frequency Effects:

• Enable Wheel LFE: On 

• Use Physics Effects: On 

• Main Volume: 0dB 

• Car Body Impact: 0dB 

• Engine: 0dB 

• Gear Change: 10dB 

• Rev Limiter: 10dB 

• Rumble Strip: 10dB 

• Wheel Slip: 10dB 

• Road Texture: -25dB 

What is FullForce?

FANATEC - "Built for the instant response and zero backlash of direct drive systems, FullForce is a new force feedback protocol developed by FANATEC®. It fuses high-fidelity vibration cues with the core force feedback signal to deliver a more immersive driving experience. When the direct drive base is securely hard mounted, FullForce can transmit these vibrations through the entire frame, bringing your cockpit to life.

While today’s sims offer accurate steering forces, they often miss subtle sensations that real drivers feel, such as vibrations from the engine, road surface, and loss of traction. FullForce allows developers to add these nuanced effects, which can be physics-based or audio-based, depending on how the developer chooses to take advantage of the technology.

FullForce technology is available exclusively on the ClubSport DD and ClubSport DD+"
