Fanatec ClubSport Racing Wheel F1

Fanatec, known for producing simracing peripherals has announced one new product: the Fanatec ClubSport Racing Wheel F1.

This time has been through a video on Youtube where we have seen this new steering wheel to use with ClubSport wheel bases.

This steering wheel seems to be a new bundle around the ClubSport DD+ as it was the Gran Turismo DD Extreme. Prices for this are.

• Fanatec EU: Fanatec ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 (1299.95€)
• Fanates US: Fanatec ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 ($1299.95)
• Fanatec AUS: Fanatec ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 ($2139.90)

Feel the precision of Formula 1® with every lap you take.

Designed for F1® Sim Racing.

Intuitive inputs.

The CNC-machined aluminium magnetic shifters have an authentic feel, with a positive and satisfying click. The wheel is packed with 11 buttons, 12-way multi-position switches, thumb encoders, toggle switches – all laid out ergonomically so you can quickly train your muscle memory. Fine-tune the force feedback while you drive using the OLED display and Tuning Menu.

The most advanced Direct Drive system officially licensed for PlayStation®5.

The combination of PlayStation®5 console performance with FANATEC® Direct Drive technology delivers responsive and incredibly dynamic force feedback. Of course, the ClubSport DD+ Wheel Base works on PC too.

Smooth operator.

Consistent torque, lap after lap.

Engineered to meet strict cooling requirements, the ClubSport DD+ is the most thermally stable Wheel Base in its class, so you can have absolute confidence that the torque output and force feedback will remain consistent, no matter how long you drive.

Lightning fast acceleration.

The speed of the ClubSport DD+ servo motor allows us to fine-tune its behaviour with more accuracy than any previous Fanatec Wheel Base. This means your steering wheel can feel very active, clearly communicating the smallest details, while also feeling perfectly stable, and resistant to unwanted oscillation.

FullForce: Force Feedback 2.0 for Direct Drive.

The existing force feedback protocol was designed for gear and belt-driven devices – the only hardware available at the time. FullForce is a new force feedback protocol tailored specifically for FANATEC® Direct Drive. Leveraging the instantaneous response and zero backlash of direct drive technology, FullForce generates high-frequency vibrations for a new level of immersive effects. Feel the engine revs, and details of the road surface like never before. Only FullForce gives you the full experience of driving a race car.

Precision response.

Class-leading slew rate performance combined with the powerful processor makes every motor reaction incredibly fast and dynamic, while remaining perfectly stable. This behaviour lends itself to traditional force feedback signals as well as enhanced FullForce signals (in supported games).

Recommendations

When considering the this bundle, it’s essential to weigh it against competing offerings and potential upgrades. For those seeking a significant upgrade from lower-end direct drive wheels, the Fanatec offering delivers unmatched performance and versatility.

However, the premium price tag may deter some users, especially when compared to more affordable alternatives. Ultimately, the decision to upgrade will depend on individual preferences and budget constraints.
