Following the launch of the Gran Turismo DD Extreme bundle last month, Fanatec is back with another variation on a similar theme.
The Fanatec ClubSport Racing Wheel F1, to give it its full title, is a new wheel and wheel base bundle.
Much like the GT set, it includes the ClubSport DD+ wheel base – that means 15Nm of peak direct drive torque, the ability for game developers to utilise FullForce immersive vibrations plus PC and PlayStation 4/5 compatibility.
This is paired with an updated ClubSport Formula wheel, which visually looks similar to the existing Formula V2.5 and Formula V2.5 X devices. However, it features PlayStation-specific buttons for the main console menu, creation and options.
The main faceplate of the wheel is finished in a blue forged carbon, unique to this model. Below the OLED display for gears, LED rev strip and flag lights, you will find a Formula 1 logo.
Interestingly, Fanatec claims that this set-up is ‘designed for F1 Sim Racing’, the absent official F1 esports competition. We presume then that this is the combination in use when the in-person races return.
Elsewhere, there are the usual (two) 12-way multi-position switches, two thumb encoders, 11 buttons, two toggle switches and two aluminium magnetic gear shift paddles. The QR2 wheel-side quick release is preinstalled.
“…By far the best console racing experience I have ever had,” said Michel in our DD+ review earlier this year.
“The presence of more force [compared to the DD Pro] helps to create muscle memory, and this is a crucial element for consistent racing.”
At the time of writing, like the recent Gran Turismo wheel, the revised F1 wheel is not alone as a standalone product. The bundle excludes pedals.
The Fanatec ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 is available to order from today, 6th March 2024, with shipping currently estimated at between four and seven days presently.
It is priced at $/€1,299.96, the same price as the aforementioned Gran Turismo DD Extreme set. Still no word on when the F1-branded cockpit by Fanatec will be released, first previewed back in 2022…
Which would you prefer? The Gran Turismo package, or Formula 1? Let us know in the comments below.
