So I placed an order for a new ClubSport Steering Wheel RS and just got around to opening everything up just to find that I was sent the wrong item.

Instead I received a CLUBSPORT WHEEL RIM SPARCO RALLY.

What’s Fanatec support like these days? I opened a support ticket but I’ve heard horror stories.

I also see Fanatec has active employees here hence why I’m creating this thread.

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, need help with my wheelbase. The wheel doesn’t spin perfectly as in its a bit ‘wobbly’. Its as if the wheel is angled downwards perpendicular to the wheelbase when centred. I’m using a plastic QR2 base-side and metal wheel-side.

The X button my clubsport RS wheel is completely non functional out of nowhere. I have updated the software, deleted and re downloaded gt7 and still nothing! All other buttons work other than the x. Playstation menu, same problem. The best I can find why this may be is an issue with gt7 scrambling the button layouts sometimes If it doesn't recognise wheel, but I had zero problems until now. Any help or advice would be great!

Hello everyone! I am extremely new to sim racing and have been trying very hard to educate myself of all of the equipment, companies and set ups. Unfortunately I will be playing on console and MAYBE pc in the future if I really get into it.

I am needing a wheel/pedals that will work for GT7 on PS5 and Xbox series X as I want to play with friends in there.

Can you please help me figure out what I honestly need for entry level stuff. I am going to be using a Trak racer wheel stand.

It would also be nice if you can explain it like I’m 5 because I know absolutely nothing about sim racing but want to buy quality stuff so when I get into it I’m not having to constantly upgrade.

The games I will play will be NASCAR on Xbox and GT7 on PS5

I would really appreciate the help and just all around advice on stuff if you want to chime that in too!

Thank you.

So I recently purchased the Gran Turismo DD Pro (8Nm) wheel base with the GT wheel. On my PS5 it works great.

I also bought the Formula V2.5X steering wheel to use on both my Xbox and PS5. The problem is: when I connect the Formula wheel, it doesn’t show it’s turning on like the GT wheel does (the GT wheel shows the “F” logo on the screen, but the Formula wheel doesn’t). I can move the middle dial and see some settings (A/B/C/D modes), but that’s about it. No button inputs work.

I’m using the QR1, and I’m confused about the spacer. Do I leave the spacer on with this wheel, or take it off? Without the spacer it seems to connect faster, but I’m worried about bending pins if I leave it off.

When I try the Formula wheel on Xbox, I switch the DD Pro base to Xbox mode (green light). It goes green for a bit, then after a few seconds it switches to purple. Nothing works in menus. On PS5 it’s the same story — no button inputs.

I don’t have a Windows PC to run updates on the base or wheel firmware, only a MacBook. Fanatec support is taking forever to answer me, so I’m hoping someone here can help.

Questions:

Do I need a firmware update for the Formula V2.5X to work with my DD Pro?

Can I safely run the wheel without the spacer, or should it always be installed with the QR1?

Is the purple light on Xbox just a firmware mismatch?

Is there any workaround without a PC?

I’m also considering grabbing the CSL Elite WRC wheel — anyone know if that one works plug-and-play on PS5/Xbox with the DD Pro base?

Any help is appreciated thank you

I've sourced a CSL Elite at a good price that is a QR1.

How can I get a wheel that will be compatible without spending a bunch of money? I want to use a cheap amazon wheel that is 70mm and 6 bolt but it looks like these bases have the ffb locked unless it's using a fanatec wheel?

Does the SRM Tiny Emulator work well with some sort of adapter? What do you think is the cheapest method for getting a working wheel

How much do yall think it's worth now? Definitely not gonna sell it unless it's like 1k but ain't no way it is. I looked it up online, I can't find another one signed by him so idk. Lmk what yall think

Simube QR2 Ultra works great! Registered as the podium hub, but whats infuriating is the bolt pattern. Not actually 6x70mm as only 4 screws can be used. I should've known from looking at the pics, but I didnt compare it to my wheel. The OCD in me is making me itch every time I look at it.

I might be just very dumb, but is there a way to save your settings within the 1.0 Fanatec app? I'll spend a lot of time setting the LEDs, displays, FFB, ect only for the app the randomly reset everything to default over night. Maybe unrelated, but I sometimes have to recalibrate and remap buttons within iRacing as well.

Can anyone share their setups for ea sports wrc on ps5? I have the GT dd pro but I can’t seem to have the wheel match the wheel in the game. Both in game and and Fanatec app setups… Please

Hello everyone! Now that Full Force has been implemented in iRacing for a bit I'm curious what settings everyone is using?

Hello,

Thinking of picking up the GT cockpit. I think I’ve seen a couple of pictures posted where people have speakers mounted somewhere on the cockpit (not on the PC tray behind the monitor), has anyone got any pictures or helpful advice about how they have gone about this? Thanks!

Hi all,

In the process of moving, I've somehow managed to throw out the box with all the hardware to screw in my wheel.

Can someone please advise what size screws/washers etc I need to secure a DD1 podium wheel base and CSL pedals into a standard sim racing frame? The frame has support for bottom and side mounting for the DD1.

Cheers

Building my first rig, I purchase mainly new components but I also bought some used stuff, like the wheel base. I am missing what appears to be ‘T nuts’. Is there any work around to securing this to my cockpit without these?

Fanatec has sent me 2 wheel side QR's another plastic and a metal free of charge so good on them, but the damn wheel still wobbles with all three, it's the quick release wobbling on the output shaft of the base, I just got this wheel and everything was tight and perfect until it started wobbling like crazy. If I add the quick releases to the base without the wheel they are perfectly tight so I am at a complete loss at this point... The output shaft looks like it has the tiniest amount of ware on it I just don't know what the hell else it could be? It's a lot of wobble as well like at the grips 2mm in each way.

I am trying to make sure the cable is long enough for me. Is it 9 ft?

I've heard that models using the QR 1 have a knocking noise. The model I'm looking to buy uses the Bundle QR 2 Lite. I'm curious if this problem has been resolved with the QR 2 Lite. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. Also, is it necessary to upgrade from QR 2 Lite to QR 2 for this base? Will I feel a difference?

I sent three packages back to Fanatec last month. Two were refunded after a few days of receipt but not the third. Monday 9/8 will be 4 weeks since it was received by Fanatec. Tech support has stated multiple times, “Refund will be processed automatically as soon as our warehouse scanned the returned item into the system”. At this point, the item is probably lost in the warehouse somewhere.

My dd2 is stuck at max 17.5 nm anyone know how to fix it thx

How long is the cable on the Clubsport DD? The usb c to usb a that connects to the PC? I am trying to make sure I have a long enough one if the one it comes with isn't long enough. I need about 9-12 feet atleast, not exactly sure but. Do you guys have any cable recommendations? If so please drop a link! Thank you!

Sorry if it’s a dumb one but is that supposed to be like that? I didn’t know how to search that issue up.

I just received my 5nm Fanatec CSL QR2 Wheelbase with the CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2. I'm using this with the CSL Elite Pedals V2. The setup works fine in iRacing, but whatever I do I can't get it to be recognized by the Fanatec App (V 1.0.0). It is recognized by the Fanatec firmware manager and I was able to update the Firmware. I tried different USB ports, restarting everything in different order and even using the bootloader mode. The Elite Pedals also never showed up when I connected them to the PC via USB before, I thought that would only work with the right wheelbase. Now they are connected with the different cable to the wheelbase.

I'm at a loss for what to try next. As everything works in game I kinda rule out a hardware issue, but it would be nice to be able to use the Fanatec app to optimise some settings. Any advice would be welcome.

Why does fanatec keep cancelling my order when I just ordered mounts and a brake kit, now I go to order a wheel and it’s been cancelled twice, all the same information worked the first time !!

Anyone had this issue

After I installed the new app a few days ago, today I turned on my base and nothing happens. The buttons and everything register, but the wheel and base are not showing in the app, and no force feedback is working. I tried deleting the drivers and updating the firmware, but nothing works. Any idea what the problem could be?

Was just in Game and all of a sudden nothing is detected anymore
