Is this the fastest sim racing wheel in the Fanatec ecosystem - and is the Fanatec McLaren GT3 V2 Wheel generally great value for your money? Let's find out!!
Things got worse with the Le Mans Virtual, but I feel bad for those involved - Here's my constructive thoughts on what can be improved after the controversy (including on iRacing and rFactor2) and what the event should do for sim racing!

The best thing about the lever gear shifter, is you can up and downshift with either side, making it perfect for one-hand acceleration on the straights, when you need to take a break. If they made these rims round, it would be a no-brainer combo to have both. All in all, worth every penny to buy new instead of used

These wheels are rubbish. If you have owned one for a few months of use look closely behind the wheel where the shifter pivot point is for cracking. Mine has been replaced by Fanatec under warranty due to a design fault which they have admitted to in writing and the replacement has cracked the same way. If you are thinking of Fanatec DONT. Look elsewhere. It’s not just poor quality but very bad after sales service and warranty.

Hi Kireth, sorry this is a bit late to your video but i have decided to buy a new rim for my DD Pro. Now, it is between the GT3 v2 and the Formula v2.5. Now, almost all reviewers have gone for the GT3, so that was what i was going to do but then came across another video where the guy was saying the the rotary switches cannot be used in GT7. Could you please confirm this please as i cannot find any info to say that it has been patched in a update. Cheers.

Didn't care for the stock shifter. SimMakerz Magnetic shifter upgrade is amazing. Though with that and the QR1 it becomes quite expensive 😂 but I do love the result. Using the bottom paddles for looking left and right is a great idea. I use one for handbrake and will probably leave it that way for VR2.

The price of the BMW GT3 wheel was a bit excessive. I bought this wheel and had a sticker made that looks like the BMW wheel. Added a official BMW logo and with the little bottom caps, I was able to re-create somewhat of the same colour layout as the real thing. Spend less then €350 bucks on something that pretty much looks like the €1500 one.

Exactly. But I want fanatec to make a mid range GT3 style wheel that is aluminum on both the wheel and quick release and have it be a similar price range of the formula V 2.5, but have it be a GT3 style wheel with a 300mm diameter. So far, fanatec only offers two different GT3 styled wheels and that is the entry level McLaren which is too cheap for my tastes, or the $1,500 BMW which is way too expensive for my budget. Fanatec is really missing out on a big hit if they do this, because the formula V 2.5 is one of their best sellers so people really like it, but the majority of people that buy it don't even use it for open wheel single seater race cars in their sim racing!! Most KZbinrs use it for GT3 racing, so this product I'm suggesting would probably be their number one best seller if they would release it.

I actually prefer the WRC wheel, plus it's considerably lighter, the ffb from the 8Nm CSL DD is outstanding with this wheel. That said I do have button envy 🤣 but I like round wheels and I really like Alcantara, not so keen on the tyre tread graphic. The McLaren wheel does have an excellent feature set given the small price difference. If I wasn't so old I'd probably use the McLaren wheel, I think it's probably the one killer model in the range, like the CSL DD & CSL Elite V2's, can't see anyone not being pleased with their price to performance ratio.

The greatest thing about this wheel is it’s size. I don’t know why all of the F1 wheels need to be so small. Adults are the main demographic that can afford this type of thing so they should make them with the average adult male hand size in mind.

Great wheel... ordinary second rate shirt... 🤣🤣 My level of sim racing though the G29 is more than enough. Until i master it a bit more there is absolutely no need for me to spend this much.... YET! haha

Bought it having the gt7 one from fanatec. Hated it. For gt7 for me the default one is miles better

i dont use it. i had it and returned it. the material used for the grips feels cheap and is also absolutely not pleasant to touch at all. the hand gets super warm etc. also the shifting paddles feel SUPER bad. there is no pleasure using them, you dont get that satisfying click. for the amount of money it costs its a very bad quality wheel overall. i'd rather pay 100-150 more and get the formula v2.5 (with perforated leather grips)

If only they did a carbon fibre version it would be perfect, I'd happily pay 4-500 for it if it didn't feel like a toy. That's just me being a snob though as it's a great wheel for the money 💰

These wheels are rubbish. If you have owned one for a few months of use look closely behind the wheel where the shifter pivot point is for cracking. Mine has been replaced by Fanatec under warranty due to a design fault which they have admitted to in writing and the replacement has cracked the same way. If you are thinking of Fanatec DONT. Look elsewhere. It’s not just poor quality but very bad after sales service and warranty.

@@Kireth well I really wish fanatec would come out with a 30cm diameter GT3 style wheel that is mid range quality and price range. By mid range quality I mean it being aluminum instead of plastic on both the wheel and the quick release. Because they have an entry level GT3 style wheel like this McLaren wheel, but the only other wheel in this style they offer is the BMW one that is $1,500 and that's unaffordable for me and a lot of other people. I'd want fanatec to do something similar with the Formula V 2.5 wheel in quality and price range, but make it a GT3 style wheel and a wider diameter preferably 30cm (300mm) It doesnt need to be modeled after a real life GT3 wheel either because the formula V 2.5 isn't modeled after a real wheel and it's one of their best sellers! All I want is a GT3 style wheel that is higher quality than the McLaren, but not unaffordable either. Fanatec doesn't offer anything like that right now.
