Beyond this you may wish to adjust various in-game settings which will allow you to further customize how the wheel feels and responds when racing. It is certainly a step up from the ClubSport magnetic shifter add-on you can purchase for other wheels. While this is the first Fanatec wheelbase I’ve ever reviewed, it’s not the first Fanatec product I ever reviewed.

Commencez à réduire la sensibilité jusqu'à un point où vous voyez le volant sur l'écran correspondant à la position de votre propre volant. Wipe the contacts where the paddles touch them, I found a little bit of sticky residue under them which I assume came from the glue on the black pads.Tournez à gauche et à droite jusqu'au bout, jusqu'à ce que vous sentiez le soft lock (limite de rotation du volant) et vérifiez si la position du volant sur l'écran correspond à la vôtre. Also the paddles on the V1 wheel is a rocker style switch so you can push or pull to change gears on either side if you wish to. Despite looking a little arcady, it’s a nice looking wheel with nice orange accents on the stitching and paddles. This very product began life as an April fools joke and upon release, eclipsed the sales of its more powerful siblings and has even been preferred by some reviewers. His passion lies in sim racing, and in particular in the plethora of sim racing hardware from racing wheels to pedals and more.

It’s a plastic quick release with glass injection and feels nice and solid however there is a bit of flex in the mounting surface on the back where we are joining up to the plastic housing.Fanatec is a company known for sim racing equipment that tends to occupy the pricier end of the spectrum.

These multi-function paddles use an analogue design, allowing you to program them for multiple uses. Luckily it did exactly what it was supposed to do and I was able to update the firmware of the base and steering wheel separately. If you do already own a Formula style wheel rim, then there is absolutely no reason to purchase this McLaren GT3 V2. Whether you’re a part of the ClubSport Light Elite ecosystem or not, this is a frontrunner for “the” wheel if you’re playing games in the GT and F1 space like iRacing, F1, and/or Assetto Corsa.

Excellent, then, that those McLaren-loving sim racers now have a new way of getting a little bit closer to the real thing. It is possible to use full torque on a CSL DD or Gran Turismo DD Pro with Boost Kit 180, even with the QR1 Lite Wheel-Side quick release. I wasn’t around for the earlier firmware versions but when I expressed my delight with the force feedback of the CSL DD, community members told me that their firmware updates over the past two years have made it a completely different beast. Although the positioning of the buttons on this rim are close to the handles, meaning this is still achievable.
