FANATEC CLUBSPORT F1 V2 WHEEL REVIEW

F1® Esports V2. Used by F1® Esports Pros worldwide.
Celebrating our partnership with Formula 1™ as official provider of the F1® Esports Series, the ClubSport Steering Wheel F1® Esports V2 is designed for driving Formula 1 cars at the limit. The V2 comes with magnetic shifters, customisable RGB LEDs, revised electronics, and an exchangeable quick release.
•
HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS.
The CNC-machined and anodised aluminium front plate on top of a metal cage provides strength and durability, 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).

Can someone help so If I ordered this wheel and the V2 pedals that comes to roughly 511 euros that included shipping to the UK how much do you reckon I would have to pay on top of that?

[@StompSlaps]

I’m starting to think that I watched this review when buying this wheel off someone on Facebook, and… I think it’s you I bought it off… 🧐😂

[@ScottPC]

Nice one. Subscribed.

[@CKone41]

Thank you very much glad you liked the video and appreciate the sub.

[@zerolight9420]

Ping me if you put the 2.5 up on eBay please. I'm interested in one.

[@Rapid_GT]

Is that Mclaren wheel the V2 ? Thought that had the QR1 system on it ? Nice gear ya got there mate 👍

[@CKone41]

The McLaren wheel comes with the lite as standard I swapped it with a qr1

[@mrmarzo]

Between the Clubsport F1 V2 & McLaren GT3 V2 with metal quick releases which would you recommend overall? If you had just stick with one.

[@CKone41]

Hi, it's a tough one to be honest as I love the mclaren wheel the size and feel of the wheel is great and I love the rubber grips and you don't need gloves. The F1 wheel is a great build and feels better quality. I would choose the mclaren wheel with the qr1 to be honest as you can use it for more race types. Thanks for watching hope this helps.

@@CKone41 Thank you! Love the content of your channel.

[@FenixPajarito]

The F1 V2 is intended for F1 bro, i plan to play F1 2023 and the F1 V2 is the better choice it has RPM Indicators and its built quality is better plus it has rumbles on the grips. And you don't really need the clutch on F1 cars only at the start of a Race 🏎 so you can just map a button or use your clutch pedal.

[@khalidadisa2786]

May I ask how much it was in total after the tax and shipping?

[@CKone41]

£274

[@khalidadisa2786]

@@CKone41 Did it also come with a quick release or did you have to get that yourself

[@giuseppe874]

Va bene per fanatec gran turismo DD

[@arielcor7392]

Why do they make them so small? 290mm is ideal

[@FenixPajarito]

F1 uses 280mm this one is 270mm

[@arielcor7392]

@@FenixPajarito And for that very reason. Yes, in real life the smallest steering wheel is 280mm, because fanatec makes it 270mm for varied use. Because that fanatec steering wheel is not from F1, it's more GT style. I have the Moza GS that has a real 295mm and is spectacular for any use.

[@blastu2fool]

Can you use this wheel for console PS5 or Series X ?

Not for the xbox no
