Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Drift V2 for Xbox
320 mm deep-dish drift wheel in leather on the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox
Description
The Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Drift V2 for Xbox bundles the ClubSport Wheel Rim Drift with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox. The deep-dish, fully round 320 mm aluminum rim is covered in smooth genuine leather and weighs 929 g. Fanatec designed it for drifting and rally driving.
Xbox compatibility. The hub's Microsoft chip makes any compatible Fanatec base, plus connected pedals, shifters and handbrakes, work on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Some features may not be supported on Xbox and depend on game support for the Fanatec SDK.
Paddles and controls. Preinstalled ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module (3 mm aluminum plates, CNC aluminum cage, neodymium magnets) with small and large plates; no clutch paddles out of the box (upgradable to the Podium Advanced Paddle Module). 16 integrated hub buttons, four adjustable and detachable 3-button clusters, a 7-way FunkySwitch, a Tuning Menu button and a three-digit LED display. Fanatec notes buttons and paddles are harder to reach on larger, dished rims.
Modularity. Accepts all Fanatec rims and third-party rims with 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm bolt patterns. DataPort-C supports the Podium Button Module Endurance (sold separately; it does not fit the Drift rim).
Compatibility. Requires a Fanatec wheel base (not included): Podium DD1/DD2, ClubSport V2/V2.5, CSL Elite bases, CSL DD and Gran Turismo DD Pro. Works on Xbox, Windows PC and PlayStation with a PlayStation-licensed base. QR2 Wheel-Side included, packaged separately.
Features & highlights
Driving style
Drift V2 for Xbox is a 320 mm leather-wrapped aluminium rim tuned for sliding: the round, comfortably sized shape gives you the leverage and hand-over-hand freedom that counter-steering demands, and the genuine smooth leather grips just as well with gloves as without. The hub adds 16 buttons, a FunkySwitch and magnetic paddles for handbrake pulls, clutch kicks and gear taps in Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport, Assetto Corsa Drift and rally titles. Best for drifting, rally and simcade sliding; less suited for formula cars and GT3 sprints that expect a small flat rim with displays.
Build quality
The rim is aluminium with a diameter of 32 cm wrapped in genuine smooth leather, weighing 929 g, so the structure is metal all the way to the grip. It mounts to the aluminium, firmware-updatable ClubSport Universal Hub V2 for Xbox, which carries the Xbox security chip for the whole system, with a CNC-machined aluminium magnetic paddle cage, 3 mm anodised paddle plates and neodymium magnets. Polymer appears only in the removable button clusters and FunkySwitch.
Software
The Drift V2 for Xbox has no driver of its own: firmware, Tuning Menu and force feedback settings run through the Fanatec wheel base it mounts to, configured in the Fanatec App for Windows PC, which also updates the base and the Universal Hub electronics. The Xbox license lives in the wheel, so it is plug-and-play on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One with any compatible Fanatec base, and it also works on PS4 and PS5 when paired with a PlayStation-licensed base; PC works with every Fanatec base. Buttons and encoders reach games through the Fanatec SDK, and SimHub can push custom telemetry to compatible displays.
