Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel Flat 2 V2

Formula precision meets race-ready control

Picture yourself threading through Eau Rouge, hands gripping the same 27.5cm diameter that real Formula cars use, feeling every vibration through high-quality synthetic suede. The CSL Steering Wheel Flat 2 V2 puts you in the cockpit with its evocative polished silver and red colorway inspired by classic open-wheel legends.

This isn’t just a pretty face. The compact, lightweight design means you can whip through chicanes and respond to slides with the kind of speed that makes the difference between P1 and P2.

23% stiffer for unshakeable control

Here’s what separates the V2 from its predecessor: Fanatec added metal bracing that boosts hub rigidity by a massive 23%. What does that mean on track? Zero flex when you’re wrestling with high force feedback through fast direction changes.

The improved structural integrity keeps everything tight and responsive, so every steering input translates directly to your virtual wheels. When you’re fighting for position at Monza, that rock-solid connection matters.

Inputs where your thumbs expect them

Fifteen controls at your fingertips without ever losing focus on the racing line. Eight snap-dome buttons give you that satisfying click, while the 7-way FunkySwitch handles everything from brake bias adjustments to scrolling through telemetry data with its d-pad, button, and rotary encoder functions.

Two 2-way toggle switches and one rocker switch round out your command center. The revised magnetic paddle shifters deliver crisp, positive shifts that feel incredible lap after lap. Access the Tuning Menu mid-race with a single button press and dial in your FFB strength on the integrated three-digit LED display.

Built from premium materials that last

This bundle combines the ClubSport Wheel Rim Flat 2 with the CSL Universal Hub V2, creating a wheel that’s engineered for durability. The three-spoke aluminum rim is polished and anodized to resist wear, while the synthetic suede grip provides aggressive traction without the high maintenance of real leather.

At just 660g for the hub (not including the rim), you get low rotational inertia for maximum FFB fidelity. Quality construction means this wheel will handle thousands of race hours and still feel tight.

Plug and play with your setup

The QR1 Lite Wheel-Side quick release clamps to your Fanatec base by hand in seconds without tools. Running a CSL DD or GT DD Pro with Boost Kit 180? You can use full torque even with the QR1 Lite. Podium owners can upgrade to the metal QR1 for High Torque Mode, or future-proof with the QR2 system.

PC compatibility is complete with full Tuning Menu access and telemetry support. PlayStation racers get functionality through PS-licensed bases. Xbox isn’t supported, but if you’re in the PC or PlayStation ecosystem, you’re golden.

Perfect for Formula and GT racing

If you love open-wheel cars, prototype racers, or any vehicle requiring quick steering inputs and minimal lock-to-lock rotation, this is your wheel. The 27.5cm diameter hits the sweet spot: small enough for rapid movements, large enough to avoid feeling twitchy.

Intermediate drivers ready to level up their rig will appreciate the professional-grade controls, while experienced racers get a cost-effective Formula-style option that doesn’t compromise on features or build quality.
