FullForce: Force Feedback 2.0 for Direct Drive
FullForce is one of the ClubSport DD+'s major differentiators. This technology has been developed to leverage the instant response and lack of play in a Direct Drive wheel base, adding high-frequency vibrations to the main force feedback.
The result is a more immersive driving experience: you can better feel engine RPM, surface changes, asphalt irregularities, and cues that anticipate loss of grip. For those seeking precision in a racing simulator, this extra layer of information helps to drive with more confidence and consistency.
Thermal Stability for Long Sessions
Many Direct Drive wheel bases reduce their performance when internal temperature increases. The ClubSport DD+ is designed to maintain its torque output during demanding sessions, even with high force feedback settings.
This consistency allows for more precise muscle memory training. If the wheel base responds the same at the beginning and end of the race, every reference for grip, load, and slip becomes more reliable.
Fast, Smooth, and Precise Response
The ClubSport DD+'s servo motor offers very fast acceleration, allowing it to reproduce force changes with great precision. This translates into a more lively, communicative, and stable wheel, capable of transmitting small details without generating unwanted oscillations.
Additionally, the split rotor with offset segments reduces magnetic cogging, while the patented FluxBarrier technology improves motor efficiency and smoothness. The result is clean, natural, and easy-to-interpret force feedback.
