Fanatec ClubSport Universal Hub V2 + QR2 Wheel-side
Feature-rich universal hub with magnetic paddles, movable button clusters, display and QR2 Wheel-side
Description
The Fanatec ClubSport Universal Hub V2 + QR2 Wheel-side bundle lets you attach any wheel rim with a 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm pattern to a Fanatec wheel base, including all current Fanatec rims and many MOMO, Sparco or OMP rims.
Magnetic paddles. The preinstalled ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module uses neodymium magnets, a CNC-machined aluminum cage and 3 mm black anodized aluminum paddle plates, with small and large paddles and spacers included. Upgradable to the Podium Advanced Paddle Module.
Inputs. 16 integrated buttons on top of the hub, four movable button clusters with three buttons each (a fifth can be added), a 7-way FunkySwitch with rotary encoder, a Tuning Menu button and a three-digit LED display that can sit upright or flat. Paddles, clusters and FunkySwitch can be removed to save weight.
Expansion. Firmware-updatable electronics and a DataPort-C connector for the Podium Button Module Endurance (sold separately). Comes pre-configured for the ClubSport Wheel Rim GT or similar.
Platforms. Windows PC; PlayStation functionality can be limited and is game-dependent. Not compatible with Xbox (an Xbox-licensed version is sold separately).
Features & highlights
Driving style
The ClubSport Universal Hub V2 is for drivers who want a specific rim, such as a round classic, rally or road-car rim from MOMO, Sparco or OMP, with the full control set of a Fanatec GT wheel: magnetic paddles, many buttons and on-wheel tuning. Sim Racing Manual highlights its deep control set and consistent magnetic shifters, and SimRacingCockpit.gg recommends the ClubSport Universal Hub over the Podium Hub for GT-style builds because it has room for more controls. Best for PC and PlayStation drivers building a custom GT, rally or road-car wheel on a Fanatec base, less suited for Xbox players or drivers who need analog clutch paddles out of the box.
Build quality
The hub uses a CNC-machined aluminum paddle module cage, 3 mm black anodized aluminum paddle plates and neodymium magnets, with modular button clusters and an LED display. Sim Racing Manual describes the construction as solid, and the improved V2 electronics are firmware-updatable.
Software
The Tuning Menu button, FunkySwitch and three-digit LED display give on-wheel access to Fanatec force feedback and hardware settings, and the display can show telemetry from compatible games or third-party software. Firmware updates and full configuration are done through the Windows-only Fanatec App. Full functionality is only guaranteed on PC; on PlayStation it can be limited by the console and game support.
