Key Features

Premium 5-Axis CNC Billet Aluminium Construction

Crafted from 6061-T6 billet aluminium and precision-machined on 5-axis CNC equipment, the PODIUM Line offers exceptional strength with a refined, ergonomic feel. A sleek black anodised finish ensures long-lasting durability and a factory-grade aesthetic. The steering wheel, adapter hub, and quick release are all built from matching materials for a cohesive, high-quality system.

Advanced CAN Bus Integration – Over 40 Extra Functions

Exclusive to the PODIUM and FORMULA Line, the advanced CAN bus module unlocks 40+ additional OEM functions (vehicle dependent). From indicators and high-beam flash to wiper controls, shift lights, traction settings and more—you can position every essential command directly on the wheel for instant, intuitive access.

MadtraceLAB 1.0 – Fully Programmable Control

Customise your wheel exactly how you want it. Using MadtraceLAB 1.0, or the optional DID display, you can adjust button assignments, LED profiles, and overall system behaviour with complete flexibility. A built-in USB-C port supports seamless updates and future feature expansions.

Multi-Profile Settings & Button Layout Mapping

Store up to three separate driver profiles in the internal memory—ideal for changing track conditions, personal preferences, or swapping the wheel between vehicles. You can map any available function to the wheel’s eight front-facing buttons and dual joystick knobs, giving you instant access to all critical controls.

Quick Profile Switching On The Fly

A discreet rear-mounted switch allows fast toggling between saved layouts or LED setups. Perfect for adapting to changing conditions instantly, without stopping or disconnecting.

RevLEDs CAN Bus Shift Lights (Included)

The integrated RevLEDs shift light system delivers ultra-responsive, zero-delay feedback based on CAN bus engine data. All LEDs flash red at redline for precise, predictable gear changes.

Optional OLED Driver Information Display (DID)

Upgrade the horn cap to a fully integrated OLED DID display to view real-time telemetry such as speed, adjust button colours and brightness, or perform button mapping and profile switching directly from the wheel—no computer required.

Optional Dual Magnetic Paddle System

A fully programmable dual-paddle configuration (upper and lower) made from 6061-T6 aluminium allows total control over non-gear-shift functions. The system supports both automatic and manual transmission vehicles, ensuring every driver can tailor controls to their preferred layout.
