Fanatec ClubSport Wheel Rim Flat 2

27.5 cm polished silver formula rim in red synthetic suede

Description

The Fanatec ClubSport Wheel Rim Flat 2 is a compact, light rim for open-wheel racing and any car that needs fast steering inputs. Its polished silver and red color scheme is a nod to classic formula cars.

Materials. Three-spoke polished and anodized aluminum rim covered in high-quality red synthetic suede, 27.5 cm in diameter and 692 g.

Mounting. Designed to fit the CSL Universal Hub, ClubSport Universal Hub (all versions) and Podium Hub with no drilling. It has no electronics; a hub is required and console compatibility depends on the hub and wheel base.

Driving style

The Flat 2 is a 27.5 cm formula rim for open-wheel cars and any car needing fast inputs. It suits historic and modern formula cars in Assetto Corsa, Automobilista 2, rFactor 2, iRacing and F1 25, and its retro look pairs well with classic Grand Prix mods.

It fits Fanatec hub owners who want a compact formula rim with classic styling. Best for open-wheel and formula racing; less suited for drifting, rally and road cars where you spin the wheel.

Build quality

Mid-range build

The polished, anodized aluminum frame is light and rigid, wrapped in high-quality synthetic suede rather than genuine leather. With no electronics, it is a simple bolt-on rim. Grip material needs care against sweat, and glove wear is not covered by Fanatec's warranty.

Software

The ClubSport Wheel Rim Flat 2 has no electronics and needs no software. Buttons, paddles and console licensing come from the Fanatec hub and wheel base, configured in the Fanatec App on Windows PC.

Platform support follows the hub and base: Xbox requires an Xbox hub such as the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox, and PlayStation requires a PlayStation-licensed base. On PC, SimHub and other tools work with the hub's inputs as usual.

Frequently asked questions

Which hubs does the ClubSport Wheel Rim Flat 2 fit?

Fanatec lists the Podium Hub, ClubSport Universal Hub (all versions) and CSL Universal Hub, with no drilling. The hub is required and not included.

Does it work on consoles?

Console support comes from the hub and base, not the rim: an Xbox hub for Xbox and a PlayStation-licensed base for PlayStation. On PC any Fanatec hub and base work.

What kind of cars suit the Flat 2?

Fanatec describes it as perfect for open-wheel racing and any race car requiring fast steering inputs, thanks to its compact 27.5 cm size and light weight.

How should I care for the red synthetic suede?

Fanatec advises cleaning suede-type rims with a microfiber cloth and lukewarm water, without chemical cleaners. Sim racers on Overtake.gg report sweat degrades suede-type wraps, and many wear light gloves to protect them.

Is grip wear covered by warranty?

Fanatec states that additional wear on rim materials caused by gloves is not covered under warranty.

Flat 2 or Flat 1?

Both are 27.5 cm, 692 g formula rims. The Flat 2 uses polished silver aluminum with red synthetic suede; the Flat 1 uses brushed aluminum with genuine suede.

Rim alone or the ClubSport Steering Wheel Flat 2 V2?

The rim costs $179.99 at Fanatec US if you already own a hub. The ClubSport Steering Wheel Flat 2 V2 combines it with a ClubSport Universal Hub V2 and is listed at $514.99.

Does the rim need software?

No. It has no electronics; buttons and settings come from the hub and wheel base in the Fanatec App.
