Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Flat 2 V2
275 mm flat polished aluminum wheel in red suede on the ClubSport Universal Hub V2
Description
The Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Flat 2 V2 bundles the ClubSport Wheel Rim Flat 2 with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2. The three-spoke rim measures 275 mm, is made of polished, anodized silver aluminum and covered in red high-quality synthetic suede, a color scheme Fanatec describes as a nod to classic Formula cars. The rim alone weighs 692 g.
Who it suits. Its compact size and low weight make it a fit for open-wheel racing and any car that needs fast steering inputs.
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 2 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 2 V2 shares the compact 275 mm aluminium formula shape of Flat 1 but wraps it in distinctive red synthetic suede on a polished silver rim, giving a grippy, high-contrast wheel for open-wheel racing. At 692 g it is light enough to keep force feedback detail intact, and the magnetic paddles on the ClubSport Universal Hub deliver a precise shift in the F1 series, iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione and formula-series mods. The flat top keeps your sightline to the virtual dash clear. Best for formula and GT3 sprint racing with a small, fast rim; less suited for rally, drifting or anything needing a full round wheel for hand-over-hand steering.
Build quality
The rim itself is polished, anodised aluminium with a red synthetic suede wrap and genuine leather accents, mounted on the aluminium ClubSport Universal Hub V2. The hub is firmware-updatable, accepts any 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm bolt-pattern rim, and carries a CNC-machined aluminium magnetic paddle module with 3 mm anodised plates and neodymium magnets. The parts that flex on lesser wheels, the paddle cage and hub body, are metal here; only the removable button clusters and FunkySwitch are polymer, which keeps the wheel modular without feeling cheap.
Software
The Flat 2 V2 is driven entirely through the Fanatec base it mounts to: firmware, Tuning Menu and force feedback settings are managed in the Fanatec App for Windows PC, which also updates the base and the Universal Hub. On console, compatibility follows the base: pair it with a PlayStation-licensed base for PS4 and PS5, while PC works with any Fanatec base; it is not Xbox-licensed, so Xbox needs one of the Xbox wheels instead. Buttons, encoders and paddles reach games through the Fanatec SDK in supported titles, and SimHub can push custom telemetry layouts to compatible displays.
