Features & highlights
Driving style
The ClubSport Universal Hub V2 + QR2 Pro is for drivers who want to build a custom wheel around a rim they love, such as a Sparco, MOMO or OMP rally or road rim, or any Fanatec ClubSport rim, with the full GT-style control set. It suits GT, rally, drift and road racing in ACC, iRacing, EA SPORTS WRC, Assetto Corsa and Gran Turismo 7, with the Podium Button Module Endurance as an endurance upgrade.
It fits PC and PlayStation drivers who want the premium QR2 Pro look and FIA-standard metal quick release. Best for custom GT and rally wheel builds on Fanatec bases; less suited for Xbox players and buyers on a budget, since the standard QR2 bundle performs the same.
Build quality
The hub uses a CNC-machined aluminum paddle cage, anodized aluminum paddle plates and neodymium magnets, and reviewers describe its real carbon fiber front plate as stiff and clearly better than the CSL hub. The QR2 Pro is CNC-machined billet aluminum built to FIA standards; Overtake.gg found no functional difference from the standard die-cast QR2 beyond looks and certification.
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 run through the Windows-only Fanatec App.
Full functionality is only guaranteed on PC; on PlayStation it can be limited by the console and game. SimHub can drive the display and map the hub's inputs on PC.
