An official replica of the Sparco P310, designed for GT racing

With this SPARCO GT ClubSport Steering Wheel, Fanatec applies its signature formula to a rim well known in motorsports. This is an officially licensed replica of the Sparco P310, a flat-bottomed steering wheel measuring 310 mm wide by 235 mm high, whose flattened top and bottom clearly signal its purpose: GT, touring, endurance, and modern prototypes. This isn’t a large, round road-going steering wheel, but a tool designed for driving in a closed cockpit, where precision matters more than sweeping movements.

Alcantara, aluminum, and a truly contoured rim

The rim is built on a brushed and anodized aluminum frame, covered in genuine Alcantara. The real highlight, beyond the material itself, is the rim’s contour: it’s beautifully shaped, making for a comfortable and natural grip, even during long sessions. This is where this Sparco line stands out from certain flat rims that feel stiffer to the touch. The whole thing exudes solidity, with no play or creaking, and emphasizes understated elegance rather than flashiness.

The Universal V2 hub does most of the work

The steering wheel comes with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2, which provides all the electronics. It features a three-digit LED display for telemetry and basic settings, eight buttons, a two-position rocker switch, and two toggle switches, plus the famous 7-way FunkySwitch, which combines a directional pad, pushbutton, and rotary encoder. The magnetic paddle module is already installed: the travel is short and the click is distinct, resulting in crisp and quick gear shifts. Fanatec includes both small and large paddles, and the hub extends up to 60 mm via a sliding mechanism, with a claimed 23 percent increase in rigidity compared to the previous version.

Bases and Brackets: What Really Works

This steering wheel mounts to a Fanatec base using the included QR2 quick-release mount, not directly to a PC. It is compatible with most models in the lineup: the Podium DD1 and DD2, ClubSport DD and DD+, CSL DD, and the Gran Turismo DD Pro, among others. In terms of platforms, it works on PC and PlayStation when paired with a console-compatible base. Watch out for the classic pitfall: this version is not Xbox-compatible. For an Xbox setup, you’ll need to opt for the dedicated Xbox version, sold separately.

For whom, and at what price point?

This steering wheel is positioned in the mid- to high-end segment. It’s aimed at drivers already familiar with the Fanatec ecosystem who primarily race in GT or touring car events and are looking for a durable wheel with an authentic look. As a replica, it’s significantly less expensive than a genuine Sparco, while offering a more comfortable contour than some of the brand’s flat, unsculpted rims. If you don’t plan on drifting, it’s a solid and versatile starting point that takes advantage of the modules and hub that many already own.
