Fanatec already has a long history with Monte Carlo, as one of the first sim racing products was the “Fanatec Monte Carlo” steering wheel, which then developed into the Speedster series. The Monte Carlo steering wheel of the time had analogue hand paddles for gas and brakes, and steel springs instead of the rubber bands that were popular at the time. All the more impressive that the new steering wheel wins the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally 20 years later.
The latest Fanatec product – the Podium Button Module Rally – is used in the new winning car, the M-Sport Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 WRC. Developed in collaboration with the M-Sport World Rally Team, the new button module is an integral part of the vehicle’s hybrid controls, allowing drivers to quickly adjust engine, regeneration and boost settings, as well as many other functions.
