Sparco and Fanatec join forces

Sparco and Fanatec recently announced a collaboration that brings the worlds of track racing and sim racing even closer together with the new Sparco-Fanatec “Podium Monte Carlo Rally” steering wheel.

This innovative combination promises a revolutionary experience for both professional drivers and gaming enthusiasts, by integrating high-quality hardware and cutting-edge technology into a single, state-of-the-art steering wheel. This collaboration marks an important step in the further development of racing simulations, increasingly blurring the line between reality and simulation.
