but a complete package: the Direct Drive ClubSport DD+ base and an officially licensed Formula 1-style steering wheel. The idea is crystal clear: to install a race-ready single-seater setup directly into your cockpit, without having to source a base and a wheel rim separately. Plug it in, set it up, and drive. This premium package approach changes how you think about the product, because it\u2019s not an entry-level option but a real leap in quality for anyone looking to switch to Direct Drive with a wheel already designed for F1.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>The DD+ and its 18 Nm\u2014the powerhouse of the system<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/2a049D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-1024x614.jpgv1717571836\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-1024x614.jpgv1717571836 1024w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-600x360.jpgv1717571836 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-300x180.jpgv1717571836 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-150x90.jpgv1717571836 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-768x460.jpgv1717571836 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-1080x647.jpgv1717571836 1080w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-980x587.jpgv1717571836 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3-480x288.jpgv1717571836 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_1280x1280_90ef92bc-8de2-4bd8-beb7-18e5e5c01ec3.jpgv1717571836 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>The heart of the package is the ClubSport DD+. It\u2019s a direct-drive base, meaning there\u2019s no belt or gear between the motor and the steering wheel shaft\u2014and you can feel that right away. The advertised torque climbs to 18 Nm (the base model started at 15 Nm before being unlocked to 18 Nm via a firmware update), providing real resistance during cornering and delivering crisp, responsive feedback. Another feature we appreciate over time is the passive cooling: no fan humming in your ears during long sessions, and thermal stability that holds up during repeated runs. The steering rotation is adjustable and electronically limited to 2,520 degrees, covering everything from the tight turning radius of a single-seater to cars with a wider turning circle.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>An F1 steering wheel in blue carbon fiber<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-l\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/2a049D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-1024x614.jpgv1717571836\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-1024x614.jpgv1717571836 1024w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-600x360.jpgv1717571836 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-300x180.jpgv1717571836 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-150x90.jpgv1717571836 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-768x460.jpgv1717571836 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-1080x647.jpgv1717571836 1080w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-980x587.jpgv1717571836 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2-480x288.jpgv1717571836 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Product_Page_top_banner_CS_RW_F1_Front_angled_1280x1280_c403d07c-10d7-49e7-b9f0-1f6a530d69a2.jpgv1717571836 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>The rim plays a major role in defining the pack\u2019s identity. It features a compact 270-mm design, true to the single-seater spirit, with a 5-mm-thick blue carbon fiber face and grips made of genuine perforated leather. In your hands, the finish exudes high-end quality, and the perforated leather literally breathes during long sessions. The shifters are made of machined aluminum and are magnetized, with that crisp, short click we love as we shift through the gears one after another. When it comes to controls, nothing is missing: eleven buttons, four paddles, a seven-way FunkySwitch, two twelve-position switches with encoder functionality, a joystick, and thumb encoders. That\u2019s enough to map out all the race management functions of an F1 game without ever letting go of the steering wheel.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>On the track, what the base makes you feel<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/2a049D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-1024x646.jpgv1717571836\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-1024x646.jpgv1717571836 1024w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-600x379.jpgv1717571836 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-300x189.jpgv1717571836 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-150x95.jpgv1717571836 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-768x485.jpgv1717571836 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-1080x682.jpgv1717571836 1080w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-980x618.jpgv1717571836 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030-480x303.jpgv1717571836 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_06_1280x1280_a7a12e8e-4733-430a-8c37-4372f1f81030.jpgv1717571836 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>With the controller stowed away and my hands on the leather steering wheel, my first impression can be summed up in one word: precision. The force feedback is smooth, precise, and responsive, without the vagueness of a belt-driven system. When entering a turn, you get a better read on the front end; you can feel the moment when grip starts to tighten, and this clarity helps you position the car at the apex without having to guess. Under braking, resistance builds linearly and provides feedback on the shifting weight distribution, making trail braking more intuitive than with an entry-level base unit. Overall, you get the sense that you understand the car better and can perceive more details of the track through the palms of your hands. One fair caveat, though: this level of feedback only truly comes through once the system is properly tuned. Even straight out of the box, it\u2019s already good, but it\u2019s by taking the time to adjust the settings that you unlock its full potential.<\/p>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<div class=\"srg-clear\"><\/div>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<h2>FullForce: That Extra Texture<\/h2>\n<p><!--SRGX--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"srg-float-l\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fanatec.sjv.io\/2a049D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"646\" src=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-1024x646.jpgv1717571836\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-1024x646.jpgv1717571836 1024w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-600x379.jpgv1717571836 600w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-300x189.jpgv1717571836 300w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-150x95.jpgv1717571836 150w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-768x485.jpgv1717571836 768w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-1080x682.jpgv1717571836 1080w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-980x618.jpgv1717571836 980w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053-480x303.jpgv1717571836 480w, https:\/\/simracergear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CS_RW_F1_Detail_05_1280x1280_8b67a781-e0f2-45a2-aa2a-d19557df6053.jpgv1717571836 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><!--\/SRGX--><\/p>\n<p>The true hallmark of this base is FullForce.

With the included F1 steering wheel, the bundle is designed for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, for major racing games. In fact, it performs best on Sony consoles, to the point where it can be considered the go-to F1 setup for PlayStation. However, this F1 rim is not compatible with Xbox. The DD+ base, on the other hand, can work on Xbox Series S and X, but only if you mount an Xbox-compatible steering wheel in place of the F1 steering wheel.

It features a powerful and quiet Direct Drive base, a beautifully finished F1-licensed wheel rim, and a full suite of electronics. There are two things to keep in mind when making your decision: the pedal set is not included in this bundle, so you\u2019ll need to purchase it separately, and the price point is clearly in the premium range.

A belt- or gear-driven steering wheel is sufficient to start with; an affordable direct-drive model (such as the CSL DD) offers a much better feel if your budget allows. Our tests, rated on a scale of 10, help you compare options without making a mistake.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Direct drive or belt drive: What's the difference?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A direct-drive base connects the steering wheel directly to the motor: the force feedback is more powerful, more precise, and more detailed than that of a belt- or gear-driven system. It\u2019s more immersive but more expensive, and it requires a sturdier stand. For beginners, a belt-driven base remains a good choice.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Does this hardware work on PS5 and Xbox?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">It depends on the specific model, not the brand: with Fanatec, for example, PlayStation compatibility comes from the base, and Xbox compatibility comes from the steering wheel. Always check the console compatibility listed on each product page before buying, because a steering wheel designed for PC won't necessarily work on a console.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>Do you need a cockpit to get off to a good start?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Not necessarily, but a stable mount is essential: even the best steering wheel is useless if it wobbles on a table. A foldable mount is enough to get started; a rigid cockpit becomes really useful once you switch to a powerful direct-drive base.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"srg-q\"><summary>How much should I budget for a good setup?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Expect to spend about 300 to 500 \u20ac for a decent starter set of a flywheel and pedal set, plus a mount. Affordable direct-drive systems start at a slightly higher price but last for years.
