podium f1 base unusual heating while playing f1 24

Hi guys,

After i started to play f1 24 on my fanatec wheel, i noticed that the base front tends to heat up quite a lot (i would say warmer than normal) if i played the game for more than 2 hours.

I am not sure if this is normal or it is/could be a problem on the long run.

Platform: Playstation 5

Wheel and base: Fanatec podium f1 with blue alcantara wheel.

Problem: after playing for an extensive period of time the front of the base (where the qr is attached to the base) heats up quite a lot.

Additional Observations: i am using 60 ffb on fanatec control panel and 70 ffb in the game with all other option set to 0 (within the game).

Very important to mention is that i don't experience any force feedback or detail loss during gameplay but i feel that considering my ffb settings, the base should be at least warm, and not hot.

During f1 23 i did not experience this, the base got a bit warm but not too much, and i am worried that on the long term this heating would break my wheel base. 

Kindly support me in solving this aspect.

Thank you,

Mihai
