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.

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

Mid-range build

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which wheel bases and consoles does the ClubSport Steering Wheel Flat 1 V2 work with?

It needs a Fanatec wheel base. Fanatec lists Podium DD1/DD2, ClubSport V2/V2.5, CSL Elite bases, CSL DD and Gran Turismo DD Pro. It works on Windows PC and on PlayStation with a PlayStation-licensed base (functionality can be limited by the game). It is not Xbox compatible; Fanatec sells a separate Flat 1 V2 for Xbox.

What is the difference between the Flat 1 V2 and the Flat 2 V2?

Both are 275 mm, 692 g rims on the same ClubSport Universal Hub V2 and cost the same at Fanatec US. The Flat 1 uses a brushed aluminum rim with genuine suede leather, while the Flat 2 uses a polished silver rim with red synthetic suede in a classic Formula color scheme. The choice is mostly about look and grip material.

Does it have clutch paddles, and how do the shifters feel?

No. The ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module has two magnetic shifters (3 mm aluminum plates, CNC aluminum cage, neodymium magnets) but no clutch paddles. Reviews describe a short, consistent, positive click without contact wear. Dual analog clutch paddles require the optional Podium Advanced Paddle Module.

Do all the hub buttons work in Gran Turismo 7 on PS5?

Fanatec only guarantees full functionality on PC; on PlayStation it depends on the console and the game. On the Fanatec forum, a GT7 user reported that the FunkySwitch could not be configured in-game and its push acts as the PS button, while Fanatec staff pointed out the top buttons are dedicated inputs. Expect fewer mappable functions on PS5 than on PC.

How does it compare with the CSL Steering Wheel Flat 1 V2?

Both use a 275 mm Flat 1 rim. The CSL version ($264.99) sits on the CSL Universal Hub V2 with an expanding slider and fixed button islands, while the ClubSport version ($514.99) uses removable button clusters, a CNC aluminum magnetic paddle module and a full metal QR2.

What warranty does Fanatec offer on this wheel?

Since June 3, 2025, Fanatec offers a three-year limited warranty on Fanatec-branded products bought from Fanatec or authorized retailers, plus a 30-day return window. Items in a bundle are covered individually, and wear, misuse or unauthorized modifications are excluded.

Is the bundle better value than buying the hub and rim separately?

Fanatec US lists the bundle at $514.99 (regular $599.97). The ClubSport Universal Hub V2 + QR2 alone sells for $369.99. Reviewers suggest the hub alone only makes sense if you already own a rim or want a specific third-party one.

How do I adjust force feedback and update the firmware?

Press the Tuning button and use the FunkySwitch to change force feedback and other settings on the 3-digit display. The hub electronics are firmware-updatable through the Fanatec driver on PC, as Fanatec staff confirmed on the forum for the V2 hubs.
