A circle cut to fit the oval

The ClubSport Steering Wheel NASCAR V2 makes its specialty clear from the start. While a compact GT wheel aims for versatility, this wheel features a large, slightly concave 350-mm three-spoke design that replicates the driving position of a stock car. This design is tailored for long, corner-exit accelerations and oval racing, where drivers keep their hands at the 12 o’clock position and the wheel’s rounded shape truly comes into its own. Within the Fanatec lineup, it falls into the ClubSport category, positioned between the mid-range and high-end models.

Aluminum and Alcantara: Durability Above All Else

The specifications prioritize durability. The rim is made of brushed, anodized aluminum, wrapped in genuine Alcantara, with a metal hub stamped with the Fanatec logo and a NASCAR logo embroidered on the cover. The stated weight—around one kilogram for the rim alone—indicates a dense construction rather than a hollow plastic assembly. The button covers are removable, allowing some flexibility to customize the front panel.

Magnetic paddles and controls

The ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module comes pre-installed. Its aluminum paddles are magnetically operated, with a crisp engagement point and a distinct click with each gear shift. Fanatec includes two sets of removable paddles—large and small—allowing you to adjust the ergonomics to suit your hand size and driving style. Around the hub, several clusters of buttons and a 7-way FunkySwitch with a rotary encoder handle menu navigation and on-the-fly adjustments—a useful feature for endurance and long races where you can make adjustments without breaking your line.

Compatibility: The Fanatec Ecosystem First

The logic is proprietary. On PC, the steering wheel is fully supported with the brand's recent bases. On PlayStation, compatibility depends on the base unit used. However, this version is not natively compatible with Xbox: players on Microsoft consoles must opt for the dedicated version that includes Xbox electronics. The bases listed as compatible cover most of the lineup: ClubSport V2 and V2.5, CSL Elite and Elite V1.1, CSL DD, Gran Turismo DD Pro, and the Podium DD1/DD2. As for mounting, the QR1 Wheel-Side quick-release mount is interchangeable and can be upgraded to the QR2 system. One thing to keep in mind when ordering: a compatible Fanatec base is still required and is not included.

Who It's For

This NASCAR V2 is designed for a specific profile: drivers who already own a Fanatec base, are drawn to NASCAR, oval racing, or stock car racing, and want a truly round wheel instead of a Formula or GT-style rim. As a single, versatile steering wheel, it shows its limitations on road courses, where a more compact rim handles better. As a specialized steering wheel within a Fanatec cockpit, it checks all the right boxes: solid build quality, smooth magnetic paddles, and seamless integration into the ecosystem.
