Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Flat 1 V2
275 mm flat aluminum wheel in suede leather on the ClubSport Universal Hub V2
Description
The Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Flat 1 V2 bundles the ClubSport Wheel Rim Flat 1 with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2. The rim measures 275 mm, is made of brushed, anodized aluminum and covered in genuine suede leather. The rim alone weighs 692 g.
Who it suits. Fanatec calls it the ideal wheel for formula racing, with small steering angles and fast movements.
Paddles. Preinstalled ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module with 3 mm black anodized aluminum plates, CNC-machined aluminum cage and neodymium magnets; small and large plates and spacers included. No clutch paddles out of the box; upgradable to the Podium Advanced Paddle Module.
Controls and display. 16 integrated buttons on top of the hub, four adjustable and detachable 3-button clusters (a fifth can be added), a 7-way FunkySwitch, a Tuning Menu button and a three-digit LED display for settings and telemetry, mountable upright or flat.
Modularity. The hub accepts all Fanatec rims and third-party rims with 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm bolt patterns (Sparco, MOMO, OMP). DataPort-C supports the Podium Button Module Endurance (sold separately; it does not fit the Flat 1 rim). Firmware-updatable electronics.
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. Windows PC and PlayStation with a PlayStation-licensed base (functionality may be limited). Not compatible with Xbox. QR2 Wheel-Side included, packaged separately.
Features & highlights
Driving style
Flat 1 V2 is a compact 275 mm formula-style rim with a flat top and genuine suede leather wrap, favoured by drivers who want quick steering inputs and a clear view of the dashboard. The aluminium rim stays light at 692 g so force feedback detail comes through unfiltered, while the magnetic paddles on the ClubSport Universal Hub give a defined click in the F1 series, iRacing, Assetto Corsa and GT Challenge races. The open-top shape suits single-seaters and modern GT cars far more than full-lock manoeuvres. Best for formula, GT3 and drivers who like a small, fast rim; less suited for rally, drifting or truck sim driving that needs a full circle.
Build quality
The rim is a three-spoke aluminium piece in polished anodised silver wrapped in genuine suede leather with red stitching, real materials rather than painted plastic. It bolts to the ClubSport Universal Hub V2, an aluminium, firmware-updatable body with removable polymer button clusters and a CNC-machined aluminium paddle cage carrying 3 mm anodised plates on neodymium magnets. The hub accepts any rim with a 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm bolt pattern, so the assembly is modular and rigid, with plastic limited to the button pods and FunkySwitch.
Software
The Flat 1 V2 is controlled entirely by the Fanatec base it mounts to: firmware, Tuning Menu and force feedback settings are handled in the Fanatec App for Windows PC, which also updates the base firmware and the Universal Hub electronics. On console, compatibility follows the base: pair it with a PlayStation-licensed base for PS4 and PS5 button layouts, while PC works with any Fanatec base; it is not an Xbox-licensed wheel, so Xbox requires one of those instead. Inputs and telemetry are exposed to games through the Fanatec SDK, and SimHub can drive compatible displays with custom dashboards.
