Thanks Barry. Just ordered mine after this review re-affirming my decision. Looking forward to not playing Euro Truck Simulator on my McLaren GT3 wheel, hahaha.
Barry, I know you had problems with RBR in the past with direct drive wheels, just recently discovered that it’s still the best rallysim to date. Got it working with my Simucube and Heusinkveld hardware (pedals, handbrake). Currently use the vanilla version with great mods such as NGP6 (New Generation Physics), RBRCT (online and offline stages, an incredible amount) and H pattern plugin (for my Quaiffe H pattern shifter). Only issue there is that I still need to get the clutch working. But the Quaiffe sequential works as an alternative. Despite this issue I still want to keep playing it, because the physics, level design, overall detail and driving feel are so awesome.
Barry, for the love of God how about you turn the gold ring to stop the rubber from moving out of its correct place? I'm sure someone else pointed that out to you before but you still doing it.....
Barry i have a question for you: i think we are right in saying that you are retired, so here is my question: what did you do (as a job) before retirement ?
Absolutely not just you. I've been looking for ages for a push-pull system. Asher Racing used to sell them, but they've discontinued manufacturing them. I've found instructions on how to build one, but more often than not, when I'm messing around with anything electrical, I let the smoke out and ruin whatever I was in the process of creating. 👍🙃
Obviously you would buy this for the buttons and the hub, which you wouldn't get with a simple momo wheel. Add a button plate and a hub, and then you would buy this for the price. This entire rim is cheaper than a stand-alone momo rim.
I hope to get a rally wheel with proper gear shift pad- rally cars use only one large pad for shifting up and down on the right side (it's push/ pull system). Also it's NOT attached to wheel (doesn't rotate). Some cars use smaller pad on the left for quick wipers deployment.
My first concern with Fanatec products is their short durability. I hope they include 5 years warranty with all their products same as they do with the DD2 so anything fails or breaks they fix it for you. ------ When you see the crazy prices of new wheel rims you know that 199 is very reasonable for a full wheel (rim, button box, QR and shifters). ----- With the studier QR it seems like Fanatec is listening to the community.
Hi Barry would you be able to look at the issue with this QR as it becomes little loos and there is some play in the QR after few months of usage. It is already discussed on Fanatec forum especially in regards to the new Mclaren gt3 wheel. Thanks
@@MixedRealitySimRacing Yup, tried to clarify with the second comment. I read into your comment wrong, thinking you were saying that console compatibility overall was determined in the wheel. My bad :)
Hi Barry, great review! I’m waiting for my Csl dd to arrive and wanted your thoughts on which wheel would suit me best, the WRC one or the GT3? My two main sims I use are mostly Kartkraft and Dirt 2.0. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Cheers, Dave
Hey mate,. I'm waiting fort CSL DD pro and GT3 wheel. What did you get and how is it overall. I've read the GT3 wheel is only good for f1 and GT3 and 4 which makes sense. So I'm looking at this wheel for rally Sims. Let me know what you think. Thanks
@@alexmorgan5760 Hi Alex, I’ve got the Csl dd with boost kit and couldn’t decide on which wheel so I got them both! I use the GT3 wheel the most but both are good. My main sim is Kartkraft, used to race karts a long time ago and this, in my opinion, is the best and close to real life karting sim as you can get. If I’m in dirt rally I find the WRC suits better. Cheers mate, Dave
@@davewatson7650 thanks for the reply mate. Yes I have the boost kit as well. I think I'll get the wrc wheel as well for rally racing too. All I need now is pedals. The v3s stand out for me but I'm never going to need a clutch with flappy pads.
@@alexmorgan5760 I’ve got the V3 pedals, was going for a cheaper version but they discontinued the loadcell kit. The V3 pedals are expensive but they’re very well built and perform really well. I never use the clutch pedal!
I think for the lower end parts they need to keep everything cheap. I doubt fanatec will release the plastic version of the quick release on the clubsport and podium. They will use maybe a metal version.
Barry can you please try the new QR on a Formula v2 wheel? That has the more solid base for the new QR to mount to and we could then see just how much movement this new QR does have!
My favourite game right now is Dirt Rally 2.0 and I am looking to get a more realistic rally type wheel - right now I am using the only wheel I have, the CS Formula V2, and while it works fine, and I don't notice it in VR, it is probably not ideal. So was looking at either this wheel or the CS BMW GT2 one. Which would you recommend to me? To be honest I would prefer if they made a slightly more expensive Clubsport version of this WRC wheel - I think the CSL looks a bit cheap, boxy, and plastic for my liking. That's why I am still drawn to the BMW wheel. Have Fanatec any plans for a better WRC wheel or is there a better option than these two for Dirt Rally?
I've been using the formula rim in dirt rally too, quite annoying. I ordered the WRC rim, it's lighter and cheaper than the BMW GT2 and you can order the metal QR later on. I don't like using the P1 rim that came with my CSL Elite because of the screw on fastener, it's annoying to switch wheels so I wanted a round rim with a quick release.
Hi, thanks for the thorough review, u have an amazing setup(I can’t afford) planning to get this and the csl elite (ps4) wheel base, would i be able to play ps4 games and xbox games both using the same wheel, thanks
what dimensions is that wheel? 320mm, 330mm? edit: he says 300mm. thats pretty good for rally i think. my t300 wheel at 280 feels a tad small and 320/330 seems a bit big. i know 350 is that standard for full car drifting etc, but i am going to get an aftermarket 330mm wheel for street cars and drifting, and keep my stock wheel for rally i reckon. 330 is the max id want to go, at least with this wheel base anyway.
it looks bigger than 300 to me though. thats only 1cm more radius or 2cm more diameter than the stock t300 wheel which feels tiny, but that wheel looks reasonably big. looks can be deceiving i guess.
11:47 Barry, you say no movement up/down/left/right but how about clockwise/anticlockwise? On my McLaren rim i can feel a slight clunk when say im loaded in a high downforce car in a long right and the snap to a fast left i can feel movement there in that situation and it gives a false FFB bump and it throws me off! I cant feel this bump with the metal QR and lock screw.
The qr1 lite is so fragile the raving about this quick release didn’t age well. Also Fanatec may want to look into the durability of that joystick for version 2
John Findlay 1911 which means the only reason to even consider it would be the quick change. My present quick change, though ever so slightly loose, is it worth spending $200 on. No, but one of the bigger wheels, yes. Even considered the BMW rim.
Any1 know if it’s possible to remove and fit the wheel paddles closer to the wheel? They are around 3 inches away from the wheel and I don’t have big enough hands to hold wheel and reach the paddles to change gear. If unable to move them closer to wheel, I won’t be able to use.
The weak point of this rim is those blister-style switches on the internal motherboard. The downshifter on mine has already lost all it's "pop" after just 9 months of use. The shifter is now just mushy with no nice "click/clunk" feel when you shift. Returning it to Fanatec for repair next week.
I'm really enjoying all you reviews. Your knowledgeable tear downs, and well thought out comments on design cut though all the guess work. After getting back into sims this channel has been the single source of knowledge for me. Thank you for all your hard work supporting this passion for auto sports.
Wow, they really cheaped out on the shifter buttons! No microswitch anywhere just ancient plate switches reminding me of joysticks back from Atari days!
yes, you cant install third party software on consoles, thats impossible. And it will never be possible. You always will have to run a Windows PC for that.
momorious thanks for the reply. Isn’t the majority of the software bought from the PS Store already Third Party? If they have licensed partners like Fanatec, where’s the difference between software titles like Call or Duty, or Dirt Rally (both Third Party software) and a wheel update? Like I said, I’m no techy but I’d like to understand the restrictions.
I don’t like how fanatec went cheap on the connector this time instead of having a sturdy mounting system for the wheel like the podium/club sport/CSL elite, that’s cheap crap like thrustmaster, one of the biggest reasons I didn’t buy a thrustmaster was the plastic nut that holds the wheel on that and they tend too overheat and the worsts times possible, I like the way my F1 wheel snaps on like a real F1 wheel and I don’t have to screw on a cheap looking plastic nut, I mean it’s just one hex head bolt and the wrench is supplied so what the big deal I hope they don’t head this direction on all there wheels I like the real feel when i pull back the big round chunk of aluminum back and pop the wheel on the base it just like putting the wheel in your race car if you happen to own one which a lot of us sim racers do race in RL just not at the level we can In the games most of us are low budget racers of whatever style we prefer but if we had the money to go big we could probably succeed but we don’t have the money to race at the level we want to like right now I’m a bracket racer I wanna race NHRA Pro Stock or Top Fuel Dragster but I can’t afford that at this point in my life I could probably build the pro stock if I put all my money to it but I don’t t wanna do that, that would mean no ps5, GT7, new gaming pc etc.... I already have the trailer for either 2 cars or a dragster
They announced they were releasing this awhile ago. The only real difference from the P1 wheel on the PS4 kit is the new QR. Which is obviously nice. I pretty much never use the P1 that came with my PS4 starter kit. Mostly because it pales in comparison to my Formula V2 wheel and I mainly race GT/ Formula but I'd probably use it a bit more if it had a QR. The WRC wheel is selling for $199.99 in the US.
Brennan Schafer I’ve never held anything other than my DFGT so I wouldn’t know what I’m missing out on anyways. I may just go with the stock wheel. I’m sure it feels better than this toy sized wheel so I’m fine with it. Edit: I’m finally watching the video and he said $200 for this wheel. I almost lost interest until I checked how much the Elite wheel cost...a $30 difference lol. I forgot that the Elite cost $170.
DJHeroMasta yeah, I think it’s a no brainer. There is pretty much no reason the buy the P1 right now unless they drop its price to like $120. The QR and ability to adjust and likely mod the shifters are easily worth the extra $30. Although, if you mostly drive Formula and GT and are ok with not having a round wheel I’d spend $50 more and get the F1 esports wheel.
His hair blowing majestically in the breeze LOL
It’s like watching Aragorn to ride to the battle

1 of the very few intros that i dont skip, what a GLORIOUS noise!
Yes, if they made the new QR all aluminum(or some sort of metal), that would be the perfect system. Definitely on the right track.
the metal QR on Fanatec you can buy should fit on the WRC rim. I'm looking to buying this rim myself.

Everybody who is really serious about virtual rallying knows that ;) Thanks for sharing your experience anyway!
Barry rocking the MECA Cup1 pedals again!
it would be even nicer for Fanatec to have a stand alone QR that adapts to the CSP but hey they wanna squeeze ya for every dollar that they can get!
This is a great all round wheel.
If you're on a budget you can use this for monocoques, rally, forza or anything really
duh, because it is all round... ;)
Great video, I've got a Logitech 923 and looking to upgrade. would this be a good all round wheel for all racing formats, F1, Forza, Grid, etc?
When he took the red cap off the release I thought there would be Pringle chips inside
Barry, for the love of God how about you turn the gold ring to stop the rubber from moving out of its correct place? I'm sure someone else pointed that out to you before but you still doing it.....
Barry i have a question for you: i think we are right in saying that you are retired, so here is my question: what did you do (as a job) before retirement ?
Des oh great
A Rallye wheel should have a push pull shifter on the right side, or is it just me?
Absolutely not just you. I've been looking for ages for a push-pull system. Asher Racing used to sell them, but they've discontinued manufacturing them. I've found instructions on how to build one, but more often than not, when I'm messing around with anything electrical, I let the smoke out and ruin whatever I was in the process of creating. 👍🙃
The wheel should have a single push pull shifter. WRC cars have never had two shifters. Missed opportunity. I would've bought one
Kind of a turn of why would you buy this for rallying over just a plain momo wheel.
Exactly my thoughts.
Obviously you would buy this for the buttons and the hub, which you wouldn't get with a simple momo wheel.
Add a button plate and a hub, and then you would buy this for the price. This entire rim is cheaper than a stand-alone momo rim.
SRG need some T-shirts and other merch with "So...Lets Get To It" on them.
Would have been nice to see a comparison in flex to the p1 wheel.
You are very detail person. Subscribing now!!!
They make a wheel specifically for rallying, and don't have the WRC 2-way paddle?
It’s a cheap upsale of P1, for 2-way paddle they would charge something ungodly
I hope to get a rally wheel with proper gear shift pad- rally cars use only one large pad for shifting up and down on the right side (it's push/ pull system). Also it's NOT attached to wheel (doesn't rotate). Some cars use smaller pad on the left for quick wipers deployment.
I would buy it in a heartbeat if it had a single pull push shifter
My first concern with Fanatec products is their short durability.
I hope they include 5 years warranty with all their products same as they do with the DD2 so anything fails or breaks they fix it for you.

When you see the crazy prices of new wheel rims you know that 199 is very reasonable for a full wheel (rim, button box, QR and shifters).

Hi, do you think the switches of the Sequential change with snapdomes are fragile? Could they give trouble in the future if you ruin the capsule?

"as long as your wheel base is compatible with xbox" its totally up to the wheel and the base doesn't play a roll in xbox compatibility!
Only the new version. The original CSL and 1.1 were Xbox, the + versions (I believe) were PS4.
For clarity, the base on the PS4 models had the PS4 security chip in them, whereas the Xbox wheels had the Xbox security chip in the rim.
@@blackboard_sx3488 no there was no Xbox compatible base, the ones you've mentioned were only PC compatible with their standard wheel attached.

Seems like a better plastic quick release, but they really ought to just give everything that solid metal quick release. It's great.
I think for the lower end parts they need to keep everything cheap. I doubt fanatec will release the plastic version of the quick release on the clubsport and podium. They will use maybe a metal version.
I'm having problems with this wheel disconnecting mid game, it also seems to be a common problem. I've tried everything, really frustrating.
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, would you recommend this wheel for road driving also?
Yes. I use the wrc wheel for stuff like Euro truck Simulator or if I just want to mess around in games like Forza Horizon.
Is the flex something I need to worry about ?

When my P1 does I’ll get one of these for sure.
What do you think about using snapdome keys to change fanatec p1 crowns? Is it reliable enough? I know some have had problems
is the wheel compatible with the clubsport 2.5 base?
Wish it came with a single push pull shifter
The qr1 lite is so fragile the raving about this quick release didn’t age well. Also Fanatec may want to look into the durability of that joystick for version 2
How much does such a setup cost with everything except the PC and monitor ?
On the CSL elite. Is the clamp and bolt enough to prevent snapping pens?
Will this wheel work for PlayStation?
Hey Barry, does it seem pretty easy to switch out an old/current Fanatec QR and swap this new QR design instead?
Yes.
Is this wheel mainly for rallying or can be used for general purposes like a normal wheel?
Can be used for any type of car.
Wait, what? Is this new? I’m a iRacing dirt oval guy. My Csl elite wheel is bigger than what I had, but want to go bigger.
Ragin’ Cajun this is the same diameter as the CSL Elite wheel. The NASCAR wheel is 50mm larger then this one.

If only all the praise Barry gave to the new QR actually came true, so many new issues have arisen with it
will this work in high torque mode with a metal QR1?
Any1 know if it’s possible to remove and fit the wheel paddles closer to the wheel? They are around 3 inches away from the wheel and I don’t have big enough hands to hold wheel and reach the paddles to change gear. If unable to move them closer to wheel, I won’t be able to use.
這個方向盤可以安裝在Simucube 2 Pro 上面嗎?
The weak point of this rim is those blister-style switches on the internal motherboard. The downshifter on mine has already lost all it's "pop" after just 9 months of use. The shifter is now just mushy with no nice "click/clunk" feel when you shift. Returning it to Fanatec for repair next week.
I now run a magnetic shifter mod (from Thingiverse) so the lack of snap is no longer a problem.

Can you buy the new quick mount and install on old elite wheels?
No
So the podium QR is a metal version of that ?

Whats the advantage this has over the CSL Elite wheel?
The WRC has new QR and removable paddles. Also the rim of the steering wheel is thicker.

The QR and ability to adjust and likely mod the shifters are easily worth the extra $30. Although, if you mostly drive Formula and GT and are ok with not having a round wheel I’d spend $50 more and get the F1 esports wheel.
Can this be used as a standard racing wheel?
Yes.
Were you driving on the dbox motion in this video?
No, MotionHouse 4UN.
@@simracinggarage3026 thank you kind sir. Looks like it does a great job
Dam barry got this wheel before it even released on there website
They give it to him for free lol
I'm disappointed they don't use the weird wrc shifter
Does this work with the podium?
He’s using it on a podium wheelbase so YES
