Dd+ and mclarengt3 are amazing for me right now! Ordered this during all of the issues because i only go by my own experience. Im so damn happy I did because its the best wheelbase ive ever used. Guys its better then the simucibe sport. Not even joking you can feel the details faster and it somehow feels stronger? Its crazy. That 6.2nm/ms is absolutely fantastic which btw is invecta level! The simicube ultimate which is 3k dolalrs is said to be 9nm/ms but its been tested to be around 6.3 also! So tere you go. Things a monster feels like 22nm not 15nm. See fanatec used to go by the spikes like the dd1 is 20nm with its spikes its holding was 15nm. Well the spikes on the dd+ has gone near 25nm. This is what most brands call there peak which isnt true conpanies need to stop using the spikes as there peak. Becausw if we went by that with these it would be closer to 25nm. It is hands down the most detailed and strongest 15 to 20nm wheelbase on the market. Period.
I swapped out my Fanatec base for an Asetek Invicta base, and Asetek round wheel. Then I got a Cube Controls GT V2 wheel because I found the Asetek wheel to be too skinny. But all in all I still miss my old Clubsport RS wheel 😅 It is just such a perfect ergonomic shape for all kinds of racing, and 320mm is the perfect size. If it had a few rotary encoders or thumb encoders it would have been ideal and I would actually have spent the time to get an adapter for my Asetek base for it.
I purchased this wheel about the same time as you did. My only gripe is the plastic LED housing. It sticks out and is quite hard so if your wheel spins around quickly you might bash your finger or hand, especially if you're not wearing gloves. It's a nice wheel nonetheless.
Got this wheel today with a QR2. Solid choice. Thanks for your review. Not many out there for this. QUESTION: I'm still on a PS4 (waiting for PS5 Pro) and would love to know how to map TC/BB FUEL etc. to the funky switch. This wheel doesn't show up at all in the PS4 settings. How did you set your MFD? Thanks again for the review and any help on he above.
@riz1033 I just use the joystick to cycle to tc with Gran Turismo. And the right rotary encoder for brake bias. It's a fantastic wheel, still reckon its a great alrounder! You should look at pc sim racing one day, and get the most out of your dd+, the ffb with pc is amazing compared. Enjoy!😎
Thanks for the review! Do you think the ClubSport RS will be too heavy for the GT DD Pro wheel base 8 Nm? Have you already tried it with the DD Pro? I just ordered the DD Pro base 8 Nm with the CS RS wheel and i am waiting for the QR1 to be again in stock. I am also thinking if I should ordered the DD+ for 400€ more…What do you think? ✌🏻
The clubsport rs should still be fine for the dd pro, I didn't use it with the csl dd though, but it doesn't seem too heavy. Also it's definitely worth upgrading to qr2. There is still movement in the qr1, but with the bolt it's okay.
You are right about the QR2, but then it will cost 150€ more and the difference between this setup and the DD+ will be just around 350€ , that’s my dilemma 🙂 I play only on PS5 and I had a Thrustmaster T150 for 4 years now. I also don’t want to upgrade so quick. How long have you used the CSL DD until the upgrade?
@@aubreycolemanracingThank you! I canceled the dd pro order and I ordered the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 bundle and the Clubsport RS wheel with QR2 😁 It’s much more then I was intended to spend but I will not upgrade for a long time now. Take care!
I have Porsche 918 RSR wheel which i think is what this wheel originally was and it's still serving me well after 3 years although it uses old qr1 that cant be upgraded to qr2 but has extra rumble motors inside the wheel which i believe this one does not.
@yoomoron you have to buy the button and sticker set, it's under the optional accessories at the bottom on the page but here you go.fanatec.com/au-en/accessories/steering-wheel-accessories/button-caps-and-sticker-set
@@aubreycolemanracing yes you can choose to have the qr2 lite on the wrc wheel (I have it) and yes it will go to the full 15nm on the clubsport DD+. The grand turismo edition of the DD+ even comes with a qr2 lite and states it works to 15nm. So a wrc wheel or a mclaren GT3 wheel with the qr2 lite will work at the full 15nm of force. Idk if we are getting wires crossed but I'm just posting for clarity.
I got this wheel recently. The only problem is when you are in VR it's hard to hit the bottom half of the buttons because it's so far down from your hands. An F1 style wheel is better in VR.
Is the RS wheel rim hard or do it have a small squish to it. I bought the R300 rim and found it unpleasantly hard and i hope that this isn't the case with the RS wheel. Thanks.
@@aubreycolemanracing Thanks, the R300 rim is very thin too and that might be even worse than the hardness, the leather doesn’t feel good either on the R300, its a bit slippery actually, i wanted leather so i could race without gloves. Is the leather on the RS wheel slippery too without gloves ? Thanks for answers in advance :)
Don't worry about that out of 60k units only some complaints. People forget how much fanatec sells so seeing those complaints aren't as big as people think. But everyone made such a big stink about customer service that they now were forced to save face.
Not stupid since in the movie base looked to be csl dd but by looking closer it looks like dd+ . As I am french I wondered about my english skills. By the way thank you for revoewing, then I just ordered one and: wow you english accent is so good for my french ears, can understand everything w/o any subtitle 😊

@@davidcupra4913it's shocked me it feels like it has asetek detail with simicubes homding torque around corners that crazy nice grip feel.

I got this wheel as well. It's fantastic and feels great. I also ordered the paddle module and QR2 to be installed next week
Im ordering this in a week
Thanks for the review. This wheel is beautiful.

@nathantw yeah, I have noticed it, and knew about it before I bought it, but as in aware of it, in okay with, it doesn't seem to stick out much.

Correct!👍
Can you remove the button caps and use button cap set from Fanatec? They don't say that on their website 😶
@yoomoron you have to buy the button and sticker set, it's under the optional accessories at the bottom on the page but here you go.fanatec.com/au-en/accessories/steering-wheel-accessories/button-caps-and-sticker-set
Afaik the dd+ isnt limited by the qr2 lites so you can use the wrc wheel and maclaren at the full 15nm
The wrc wheel is, not the qr2 lite. It's even mentioned in the shop description. The wrc wheel is max 8nm.
@@aubreycolemanracing yes you can choose to have the qr2 lite on the wrc wheel (I have it) and yes it will go to the full 15nm on the clubsport DD+.

It's not the qr2 thats the problem, the wheel base knows when the wheel is being used, and limits to 8nm.@@killrockstartv

Not a hope I'd use a f1 wheel in vr with the older cars, rally or drifting. Buttons I got used to.
Is the RS wheel rim hard or do it have a small squish to it.
I bought the R300 rim and found it unpleasantly hard and i hope that this isn't the case with the RS wheel.
Thanks.
@@Jonny._. it is fairly hard, I wouldn't want it soft, I think it wouldn't last as long. Feels fantastic to me.

@@Jonny._. the rs I use without gloves.
@@aubreycolemanracing Then I’m confident this wheel is for me. Thank you so much for your help 👍😀
How’s ur dd plus so far. I just ordered today. Worried I’ll get a bad unit with coil whine.
Been great so far.

@@reviewforthetube6485 it has it.
how do you get the rpm light and the speedometer?
@@Edmundyip0915 try installing fanalab. You can configure them to your liking.
Hey just quick question it may sound stupid but will the clubsport rs work with the dd+
Well I have it on the DD+🤣 Yes it does work.
I knew it was gonna sound stupid thank you 😂
Not stupid since in the movie base looked to be csl dd but by looking closer it looks like dd+
