Fanatec CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2 QR2 Lite | 300mm Rim

Your Gateway to Direct Drive Racing

Feel every apex, every slide, every perfectly executed corner. The CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2 brings you into the world of direct drive precision without compromise. This is where accessible pricing meets genuine performance, where your first direct drive experience sets the stage for countless hours of progression on track.

Built for Performance, Priced for Accessibility

Fanatec engineered this wheel with one mission: deliver full-featured performance at the lowest possible price point. The 300mm diameter fits naturally in your hands whether you’re threading a GT3 car through Spa’s Eau Rouge or battling a rally car through gravel stages. That versatility comes from smart design choices, not compromises.

Lightweight Construction, Maximum Detail

At just 1220g including the QR2 Lite, this wheel keeps rotational mass low. What does that mean on track? Lightning-fast acceleration out of corners and critically, the ability to feel fine force feedback details even when running lower torque settings. Every road surface texture, every weight transfer, every tire slip angle comes through clearly. Your CSL DD’s motor doesn’t have to fight unnecessary mass to deliver those sensations.

Comfort That Lasts

The rubberized grip provides exactly the right amount of friction. Not too sticky, not too slippery. Your hands stay comfortable through multi-hour endurance stints, and even when the pressure mounts and your palms start sweating, grip remains consistent. The polymer casing features internal reinforcement that delivers genuine durability without adding bulk. This wheel is built to handle years of hard racing.

Race Data Where You Need It

The RevStripe LED runs across the top of the rim, giving you instant RPM feedback in your peripheral vision. As you approach shift points, the multi-color strip progresses through your programmed range, letting you nail perfect upshifts without glancing at the screen. Below it, a three-digit LED display shows your chosen telemetry: speed, gear, lap delta, or any data your sim provides. Both systems sit at the top of the rim, positioned in your natural eye line exactly where they should be.

Quick Release Evolution

The pre-installed QR2 Lite Wheel-Side brings Fanatec’s latest quick release technology to the entry level. Mounting and removing the wheel takes seconds, no tools required. The system is strong enough to handle up to 8Nm of torque, which means you can run your CSL DD with Boost Kit 180 at full power without any concerns. Planning to build a multi-wheel collection? QR2 Lite makes swapping between rims effortless.

Full Control at Your Fingertips

Metal paddle shifters deliver satisfying tactile clicks with every shift. The 5-way directional joystick with center button gives you complete menu navigation and camera control without reaching for your keyboard. The tuning button lets you adjust force feedback and other settings on the fly, mid-session, without breaking immersion. Every input is exactly where you expect it, every control feels precisely engineered.

Who Should Race This Wheel?

This wheel is perfect if you’re stepping up to direct drive for the first time with a CSL DD. It’s ideal for drivers who want a versatile rim that handles multiple racing disciplines without needing different wheels for different cars. Intermediate racers will appreciate how it preserves force feedback fidelity while keeping costs in check. Even experienced drivers use this as their everyday training wheel, saving their premium rims for competition or specific car types.
