    Hi, owning both wheels,
    I agree with you, though, contrary to my expectations, I end up liking the smaller v2.5 because;
    Besides the differences you mentioned;
    1- The smaller size v2.5 makes me feel more in control, to feel better the feedback compared to the larger McLaren.
    2- The smaller size also makes me feel more comfortable on those turns which forces me to crossover my arms, where the larger McLaren (therefore other larger wheels) require more crossing my arms in those positions.🙏👋

    Both good wheels…the McLaren GT3 v2 has the seesaw gear change paddles that some don’t like..but it does provide one handed up and down gear changes if needed which a lot of people don’t realise..the push/pull with one hand was initially developed to aid button pressing mid corner etc but modern wheels are set up better and no longer really require that function…thanks for the comparison Digit,great video ❤️👍

      Yup! I actually use the ability to shift up and down with the same hand when I reach out for a drink with one of my hands or something haha, it's really useful.

  • @tree50maro

    I own the McLaren wheel and it has been great for GT7, the single paddle gear shifter has been fine, makes shifting with one hand possible. My only complaint is the red switches are not mappable in GT7 but not really an issue. I am considering picking up the Formula wheel for other games. When playing ACC on PS5 there are not enough buttons on the McLaren wheel to get the full experience the game offers.

      I also have the McLaren for GT7. But i cant map the rotary dials either, not only the red leavers.

    i've got both, and never use the 2.5. i modded my mclaren to have magnetic shifters, Q1 Release and alloy knobs.

    As Mclaren has the same size as DD extreme wheel, just get DD extreme for GT/rally and xbox formula v2.5 for F1. Then you will have the best for both pc and consoles.

    I think both of those wheels are great, if I get one it will be the Mclaren, I’m trying to decide if I want to save for an Asetek wheel and pedal set.

    I have the McLaren GT3 and I'm very happy with it. My hands sweat a lot less with it than with the original Gran Turismo DD steering wheel, I don't need gloves anymore. And after 600 hours it still looks like new. As I only play Gran Turismo 7 anyway and the game hardly supports buttons, the Formula 2.5 would be overloaded with buttons.
    Could you maybe do a video where you explain what buttons are mappable on both wheels?

    I mate, I think that a good deal could be a new gt3 steering wheel with the quality of the v2.5 and the diameter of the mclaren"s. I hope to see fanatec news in the next ATAC in Germany like a new High-end pedals set and new steering wheel. Bye

    Great video, i am looking for a new wheel rim and it is out of these two. I mainly play GT7 and have been told that the rotary enconders cannot be mapped, i wondered if this is still the case and if so, are there any other buttons that cannot be used for GT7 on either wheel, cheers.

    • @tamasvarga67

      Get the McLaren GT3 wheel. You will have the basic functionality with the buttons so no point of getting the more expensive F1 wheel when you won’t be able to use the extra functionality in GT7. The McLaren hasn’t left my base since I got it.
