We have a very nice alcantara finish with quality stitching as well as a quality feel to all buttons. We have the newer quick release system which has eliminated a lot of the flex found in the previous system. While there are some areas of clear cost cutting such as the plastic construction of the LED display at the top of the rim, they seem to have done a great job at keeping a high quality finish in the most important areas. This is another great value, versatile wheel for those looking at the cheaper wheels in the Fantec range.

Some people have suggested that the ClubSport Quick Release is a necessary upgrade for this wheel, we personally didn’t see significant benefit in doing so unless you own a DD1 or DD2.

The wheel can be upgraded with the ClubSport Quick Release accessory to unlick full torque mode on these wheel bases. Note that with the included Simplified Quick Release, torque is limited on the DD1 and DD2 wheel bases. We have been using this wheel extensively at Boosted Media with the DD2 direct drive wheelbase, and personally have not found flex to be problematic to a point where it detracts from the driving experience. While some users have suggested they find this wheel to have a cheap feel with some flex throughout the rim due to the plastic design, considering the price point and functionality of this wheel, it is incredibly good value. While this is a matter of personal preference, we have really enjoyed the feel of these shifters and find them to be really well defined and have a quality feel to them. We have been given a magnetic shifter in the V2 wheel which creates a very different feel to the shifter paddles of the V1 wheel. This genuinely enhances the driving experience. giving us full freedom of control on these parameters without conflicts between the sim and the encoder position. This means we are now sending an up and down pulse to our sim to change parameters such as brake bias, engine mapping etc. In addition to the newly designed tool-less Simplified Quick Release, we now have 2 rotary encoders which have replaced two of the three multi position switches found on the V1 wheel. With the CSL Elite McLaren GT3 V2 now here, we’ve seen valuable improvements on what was already a great wheel. It was light, ergonomic, feature rich, and had everything you need for a sim racing wheel to be versatile and enjoyable in a range of cars and disciplines (particularly GT and Formula) without the unnecessarily high price tag.

The original McLaren GT3 wheel was one of Fanatec’s most popular sim racing wheels, and arguably one of the best value wheels on the market from any brand.
