Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Round 1 V2

270 mm round vintage-Formula wheel in smooth leather on the ClubSport Universal Hub V2

Description

The Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Round 1 V2 bundles the ClubSport Wheel Rim Round 1 with the ClubSport Universal Hub V2. Inspired by a steering wheel used in Formula 1 cars of the 1980s, the rim is a compact 270 mm round design in polished, anodized aluminum covered in smooth genuine leather. The rim alone weighs 715 g.

Who it suits. The small diameter suits fast movements, and the round shape and smooth leather let you spin the wheel quickly, making it a fit for classic formula cars, karts and vintage racers.

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 Round 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

Round 1 V2 is a 270 mm leather-wrapped aluminium rim, the same diameter as many real classic-car wheels, built for drivers who steer with their hands rather than their thumbs. The compact size makes counter-steering fast in drift and rally sessions, the genuine smooth leather grip works with or without gloves, and the ClubSport Universal Hub supplies 16 buttons, a FunkySwitch and crisp magnetic paddles for iRacing, Assetto Corsa, DiRT Rally and classic-car mods. Best for classic cars, drifting and rally; less suited for formula racing and drivers who want a display-heavy GT cockpit wheel.

Build quality

Mid-range build

The rim is a polished aluminium piece wrapped in genuine smooth leather at 715 g, light and warm to the touch with no painted plastic pretending to be metal. It mounts to the aluminium ClubSport Universal Hub V2, which is firmware-updatable and accepts any 6 x 70 mm or 3 x 50 mm bolt-pattern rim, including third-party Sparco, MOMO or OMP wheels. The magnetic paddle module has a CNC-machined aluminium cage with 3 mm anodised plates and neodymium magnets; plastic is limited to the removable button clusters and FunkySwitch.

Software

The Round 1 V2 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 firmware-updatable Universal Hub. 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 Xbox-licensed, so Xbox requires one of the Xbox wheels instead. Inputs reach games through the Fanatec SDK, and SimHub can push custom telemetry to compatible displays.

Frequently asked questions

Which wheel bases and consoles does the ClubSport Steering Wheel Round 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 Round 1 V2 for Xbox.

What kind of cars is the 270 mm Round 1 rim best for?

Fanatec based it on a 1980s Formula 1 wheel: the compact size suits fast movements and the round, smooth-leather rim can be spun quickly. It fits classic formula cars, vintage racers and karts. A smaller rim needs less hand travel but gives less leverage against strong force feedback, so many drivers prefer 320-330 mm rims for GT and road cars.

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 Round 1 V2?

Both use a 270 mm Round 1 rim, but the CSL version sits on the cheaper CSL Universal Hub V2 with an expanding slider and fixed button islands, while the ClubSport version uses removable button clusters, a CNC aluminum magnetic paddle module and a full metal QR2. Fanatec US lists them at $264.99 and $514.99 respectively.

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 $609.97). 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.
