Just ordered a bundle from them with this wheel. This will be my first time playing with any kind of wheel since like 2005. Can’t wait to give it a go.
This wheel is FULLY compatible with a PS4/PS5, when you connect it to a PS compatible wheel base. It has worked on every game (acc, ac, pc2, f122, f123, gt sports, gt7) I have played and it’s an amazing value for money. All the necessary features you need and great build quality with no flex. Only downer it does NOT work on xbox.
Hey Oscar great video!, i've had this wheel for over a year now and i've had no problems with it at all, also just so you know the right thumbstick also rotates! 2:28
I have the wheel and I love it. The only Fanatec wheel I got. So I'll have to use it in unsuitable situations such as driving rally cars, its awkward but not bad at all. I got the Esport wheel as part of a CSL Elite bundle from 2020's Black Friday sale. Still using it now. Happy days! The alcantara is dirty now as I never use gloves hahaha! Soap and water shall clean it. How does it compare to the McLaren wheel I will never know. I wouldn't want the McLaren anyway.
Hey Oscar! Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into making a video about this wheel! I’ve been wanting to get the f1 esports csl dd bundle but have not found any videos about the f1 esports v2, so thank you so much for creating this video!😁😊
That’s crazy that a UA-camr with content like yours responded to a comment that was made 13 hours after the vid was posted 1 minute later. 11/10 best sim racing UA-camr
@@zsombornagy1103I would take this one, if you play F1 games you will not need the additional buttons. I have a f1 v2.5x i would know, now if you play acc the couple more buttons are nice, but i really dont like the build quality and the shifters
@@zsombornagy1103 to have the up and down flippers for that is amazing and to have the switches for tc and engine map is great, its a difficult choice for 20€ you get good quality, amazing shifter, qr1 metall, nice alcantara grips and a stronger ffb with some haptic feedback. Its difficult and i couldn’t decide for you. Thats exactly why i have the formula v2.5x, maybe look into second hand
I know this video is kinda old, but what steering wheel would you recommend for a gt3/gte car enthusiasts? I like the looks of the fanatic McLaren Gt3 wheel but I don’t want a car brand’s name on the wheel.
I placed an order for the F1 esports bundle last week.....but then Fanatec cut the price of the Elite V2 pedals which brought the Mclaren Elite bundle right down in price....so I switched my order. Still very tempted by this wheel in the future.
Good choice the McLaren rim is better... I have had both rims and use McLaren most of all. (Great all around er too). The note to be aware of is the F1 is a little smaller than the McLaren... always felt like I was too fast on steering with the f1... hence the McLaren.... lol
If you are doing some F1 racing this wheel feels really great quality vice. My P1 v2 wheel which share the same plastic as the Mclaren feels super cheap after racing with the esports. The Mclaren is much more well constructed than the P1 wheel though so im not suggesting that the P1 v2 and the Mclaren GT3 2 are in the same ballpark. But the build quality in the esports are one league over any other cheap fanatec wheel that i know of.
@@Jonny._. That's kinda what my head was at when choosing originally. But at the current price and with the two clutch paddles on the McLaren, it's the most sensible choice for me at the moment. Ideally I'd have an F1 wheel with rotary and clutch paddles, plus a 300mm round wheel.
@Jonny._. agreed the F1 is better for any open wheel cars.... any other type of car I'd rather the McLaren (imo).... I don't race enough open wheel cars to switch back and forth.... and I can see anyone doing mainly open wheel loving the F1 rim... 👍 especially at the price...
I am struggling to choose between this and the McLaren GT3. It'll be my first sim setup (CSL dd 5Nm as a base). I'll mostly focus on F1, but I also want to try other games, such as Asetto Corsa and Asetto Corsa Competizione. Anyone can help?
Ik no one will see this but how do you keep the rev led static? Mine keep flickering when I play f124. All my LEDs match the color and rpm in fanalabs but they don’t stay static. can someone help me please. Thanks!
Im maybe buying a csl dd soon and thinking of buying the mclaren pro bundle and wanted to know if for playing AC And ACC its better i dont really want to play any f1 games? i saw you where gonna make a video about it put the sale ends soon.
Xbox compatibility is built into the steering wheel unlike PS which is built into the base. For Xbox, you need to buy specific wheels for compatibility. So confusing, right?
This is still one of my favorite f1 wheels to use on the market. Im sry but fanatec just knows how to make a comfortable wheel. Ive still yet to get cramps using them. Grips are perfect size on almost every wheel they make. Also im sry but that clean look is sexy af even better then the 2.5x. Some of the best feeling buttons and funky switches made also. With my favorite paddles. I love fanatecs magnet paddles. Always have. People say the vibration motors you cant feel which is just false. Its light but the perfect smount dont esnt it to feel like an unaturally gimmick but as of now it works fantastically for sure.
I have the Fanatec formula V2,5 wheel with also the rumble motors in the grip, but never really notice it on Ps5 with ACC, GT7 or F1 games...maybe other with same kind of wheels can give a light on it?
I think it’s a feature most prominently used on PC. Fanatec themselves claim to not guarantee full functionality on PlayStation consoles so that’s probably why :/
In my opinion, I love the look and feel of the ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5. It's also significantly under $600. Check it out here: shorturl.at/hlvAN
I have the McLaren and the V2, the V2 is a much better wheel. The McLaren has more futers but you can hear the buttons rattling, the V2 is much more solid. I ordered the V2 and transferred the GR2 from my McLaren with the idea of buying it later. gr2 for mclaren.Don't do that again v2 is a much better steering wheel.
Hi there... i have the 2 also and i used the v2 only maube 1 hour, is to heavy to my gt dd 8nm and to litlle i feel more confortabke with the mckaren wheel because is nore large but if i had a dd1 or dd2 or ecen a cs dd+ i maite consider using again... stay good...
@@OCRacingI tried my hand at sim flying, and then my parents separated... for the second time... and now they seperated again... anyway I just never got back to it
No the creator of ACC said that he used this wheel and doesn't like it so if you try to plug this wheel into the game it crashes, it upset me really bad when it first happened to me...
As far as rumbles in the wheel fanatec have been doing them for a long time my Porsche 918 wheel has them but later ones like bmw v2 seem to remove them from newer wheels for some reason.
Thoughts on the look of this wheel?
Better than mine
amazing.
😮
Doesn't look like an f1 wheel lol
I have owned this wheel. For the price a perfect wheel. Zero flex. And higjbquakitu finish. Love this wheel.

Had this guy for testing in the workplace and I must say, its a big improvement internally from the V1 though not much changed on the outside :)
I have this wheel, I have used it for over 2 years, its a great wheel for sure, great quality.
Glad to hear it's still holding up well two years later. Thanks for the comment!
I seen this wheel some much and still have not thinked about it. Thanks for letting me know about this
3:37 Lmao wasn't expecting that music
Literally just read this comment as the music started 😂
Defo an insane wheel, the wheel is 270,
paddle module is 99, so is/was the QR, insane value
It used to be 270, its 220 since the qr2 got released.
I’ve always said that if I get a fanatec wheel base this would be the first formula style wheel I’d get
Great video. I just upgraded my setup and got that wheel , very good indeed!
Used your Trak racer affiliate link, bout the TR120. Thanks OC, keep up the sweet vids!!
LEGEND!!
FYI the 4 way button on the right side is also a rotary
YESS finally a review on this wheel. Thank you Oscar!

Very pro review man. Thanks
Will you do a review of the Logitech g pro wheel and pedals by any chance?

Very good choice making the switch, the deal they have on the McLaren bundle is crazy good at the moment.

Looking for my first wheel, will be used with GT DD Pro on PS5 This or the csl elite mclaren gt3 v2? What are the pros cons of each wheel?

I really like the Clean lock of the Wheel
It does look good. Good vid oc!
Thanks! More to come :)
Does the built in vibration motors work with Gran turismo 7?
Can you bind the funky switch as a rotary? 🤔
Lol.. I was talking to my cousin about this morning. Told him the dials probably aren't necessary
Anyone know if the qr2 wheel side will go on sale
Maybe, however nobody knows for sure :/
Do I just have to put the base on my table or fix it somewhere?
This wheel or the McLaren GT3 v2?

this wheel has the issue of being in same price range as McLaren V2.

I think it’s a feature most prominently used on PC. Fanatec themselves claim to not guarantee full functionality on PlayStation consoles so that’s probably why :/
Not really rumble motors that you notice much. Even on 100% they're not really noticeable
The rumble motors are definitely noticable on PC. I play ACC and I can 100% feel when they are active
no rotary knobs? Then it's a big disadvantage.
The right thumbstick is a rotary aswell
no one notice how the rpm leds flicker?
No clutch paddle ? On a F1 wheel ??
Very nice vid love it
Thanks! More to come :)
Hey oc what f1 Wheel would you recommend under 600 for podium dd2.

Only thing fanatec is a U shaped wheel and a formula rim with a screen from fanatec

Yes

No, this one does though: ua-cam.com/video/bUvwDHn_ZwY/v-deo.htmlsi=6IDWwe3DrmSypCUP
Their products are of good quality, but I'm afraid to recommend because their customer service is terrible.
"Best Bang for the buck among fanatec" .... Wow,... what a claim xD
This has less functionality and costs more than the McLaren 650s gt3 wheel. Don't buy it
Ugly, overpriced. But yes, this is within Fanatecs eco system an ok wheel.
Interesting
Shame this doesn’t come to Xbox…
Unfortunately. Good news is that Fanatec does offer other F1 rims that are compatible with Xbox and I’ll be reviewing those soon :)
