High Quality Materials.
The CNC-machined and anodised aluminium front plate on top of a metal cage provides a strong construction, and genuine Alcantara® grips offer a sensational feeling of quality.
Officially licensed by Formula 1™
Inspired by cutting-edge F1 technology, the ClubSport Steering Wheel F1® Esports V2 is built for competition at the highest level and used by professional F1® Esports drivers worldwide.
Loaded with tech.
Bright RGB RevLEDs and FlagLEDs provide useful information for the driver, and the display and FunkySwitch™ allow on-the-fly adjustments to your Fanatec hardware. Vibration motors built into the grips add extra tactile feedback (in supported games). The wheel is fitted with magnetic shifters as standard.
Crisp shifting.
Magnetic paddles mean you’ll shift gears with confidence every time. Built from polymer composite, the shifters are lightweight and durable. The RGB RevLED bar (customisable through FanaLab) is an ideal indicator for timing perfect upshifts.
Tuning functions.
Telemetry data shown on the stunning blue LED display, including speed, current gear, and other parameters (depending on the simulation).
7-way FunkySwitch™ to adjust Fanatec Tuning Menu functions while you drive. Configure steering, force feedback settings, and even brake pedal settings (with compatible Fanatec pedals).
Upgradable.
Replace the standard magnetic paddles with the Podium Advanced Paddle Module (sold separately) for additional inputs and analogue paddles. The exchangeable quick release means this wheel is ready for the transition to the all-new QR2 system (coming soon).
Add F1-style clutch paddles.
The ClubSport Steering Wheel F1® Esports V2 can be upgraded to the Podium Advanced Paddle Module, which adds a dual clutch paddle system and two pairs of magnetic paddles with 3 mm-thick carbon fibre plates.
Ready for the future.
The exchangeable QR1 Wheel-Side (ClubSport Quick Release Adapter) means the wheel can be upgraded easily to the next-generation QR2 system (coming soon).
