Fanatec Racing Wheels: two $1,219.99 boxes with a base, a rim, and no pedals
Researched overview Manufacturer listings and owner reports, with no hands-on testing.
Fanatec sells two Racing Wheels in the United States, both at $1,219.99 regular, and each one is an 18 Nm ClubSport DD+ wheel base with a PlayStation-licensed rim already on the shaft. The ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 carries a 270 mm formula rim, the Gran Turismo DD Extreme carries a 300 mm GT rim, and neither box holds a brake. Every figure below was read off Fanatec’s own US listings on 29 July 2026.
Racing Wheels is Fanatec’s own category name. Its US store files both listings under it, as a child of Sim Racing Bundles at /us/en/c/sim-racing-bundles/racing-wheels, and the category page prints “2 Products listed” above the two cards.
Fanatec’s own line between the categories
Section titled “Fanatec’s own line between the categories”The text under the Racing Wheels heading defines the category in one sentence: “A ‘Racing Wheel’ is a bundle of a ‘Steering Wheel’ and a ‘Wheel Base’. The Wheel Base delivers force feedback and connects all Fanatec peripherals together. All Fanatec Wheel Bases use Direct Drive technology.”
Sim Racing Bundles held 24 listings on 29 July 2026, split across three children with nothing left over.
| Category, as Fanatec names it | Slug | Listings on 29 July 2026 | What Fanatec says is in the box |
|---|---|---|---|
| Racing Wheels | racing-wheels | 2 | ”a bundle of a ‘Steering Wheel’ and a ‘Wheel Base‘“ |
| Steering Wheel & Pedal Bundles | wheel-pedal | 17 | products that “include a wheel, Direct Drive base & pedals”, from the category’s page metadata |
| Cockpit Bundles | cockpit-bundles | 5 | ”complete sim racing rigs with cockpit, wheel, pedals, and more”, from the category’s page metadata |
Pedals are the boundary. Neither Racing Wheel listing carries wheel-pedal in its own category list, and none of the 17 listings in wheel-pedal carries racing-wheels. The two sets share no SKU. The Ready2Race page covers what is in the 17.
A product name is not a category. “Racing Wheel” appears inside the name of a listing in the other category, the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 + CSL Elite V2 Ready2Race Bundle (18 Nm) at $1,549.99 regular, which is filed under wheel-pedal and not under racing-wheels. That listing is the same base and the same rim as the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 with a pedal set added, priced $330.00 higher.
One breadcrumb, two URL forms. Both listings breadcrumb through “Sim Racing Bundles” then “Racing Wheels”, and both resolve at HTTP 200 under /p/racing-wheels/ and under /p/sim-racing-bundles/. Their canonical tags disagree: the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 canonicalizes to /p/racing-wheels/, the Gran Turismo DD Extreme to /p/sim-racing-bundles/. Every link here follows the listing’s own canonical.
The two boxes, side by side
Section titled “The two boxes, side by side”Rim specifications are each listing’s own feature list. The base line is shared, because the same ClubSport DD+ block appears on both listings word for word.
| ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 (18 Nm) | Gran Turismo DD Extreme (18 Nm) | |
|---|---|---|
| SKU | CS_RW_F1_US | GT_DD_RW_X_US |
| Regular price | $1,219.99 | $1,219.99 |
| Sale price on 29 July 2026 | None. One price on the listing, labeled “Current price” | None, same |
| Base in the box | ClubSport DD+ Wheel Base | ClubSport DD+ Wheel Base |
| Rim in the box | ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 PS5, “F1®-style steering wheel with a compact 270 mm diameter for fast movements and reactions” | Steering Wheel for Gran Turismo DD Extreme, “Designed in collaboration with Polyphony Digital”, “300 mm diameter is suitable for many different vehicles” |
| Quick release | QR2 Wheel-Side, preinstalled | QR2 Lite Wheel-Side, preinstalled |
| Display | 1” 128x64 white OLED, 9 RevLEDs, two FlagLEDs of three LEDs each | 2.7” OLED, 19 RGB LEDs, RGB RevLED strip, RGB FlagLEDs |
| Clutch paddles | None. The word “clutch” appears nowhere on the listing | ”Two analogue clutch paddles with four switchable modes”, one of them “Brake/throttle mode (allows driving without pedals connected)“ |
| Pedals in the box | None | None |
| Fanatec’s platform row | ”PC, PlayStation" | "PC, PlayStation” |
| Fanatec’s driving-style row | Formula | GT, Rally, Drift, Road |
| Warranty | 3-Year Warranty | 3-Year Warranty |
| Stock on 29 July 2026 | Available | Available |
| Lifecycle field in the store’s product data | backend_status: Pre-EOL | backend_status: Active |
The base line is identical. Both listings carry the same ClubSport DD+ block: “18 Nm holding torque”, the FluxBarrier motor, passive cooling, and “Rotation: 2520 degrees (electronically limited, adjustable)”. Its ports run power, USB-C, two shifter ports, pedals, handbrake, and CAN. What that torque asks of a desk is in mounting and noise, and the ClubSport DD+ review covers the base on its own.
No lifecycle statement. The backend_status values above sit in each page’s product JSON and render nowhere in the copy a shopper reads, so nothing here records either box as current or discontinued. Both took orders that day.
QR2 Lite on the 18 Nm box. The Gran Turismo DD Extreme ships a QR2 Lite wheel-side while the F1 ships the full QR2, and a composite quick release on an 18 Nm base is the combination Fanatec’s ClubSport DD listing says is capped at 8 Nm. Fanatec answers it on this listing instead: “The Steering Wheel for Gran Turismo DD Extreme has no torque limitation.” A Fanatec buyer’s guide names the same box as the exception, calling it “a special case”, and the Fanatec QR2 guide carries the four statements Fanatec has published about that cap and which of them is about which wheel.
Eight lines in the box, six of them the bare base
Section titled “Eight lines in the box, six of them the bare base”Fanatec’s “What Is Included” runs eight items on each Racing Wheel and six on the ClubSport DD+ sold alone. The six are the same six.
| In the box | ClubSport DD+ base, $899.99 | ClubSport Racing Wheel F1, $1,219.99 | Gran Turismo DD Extreme, $1,219.99 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ClubSport DD+ Wheel Base | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| QR2 Base-Side (Type-F), preinstalled | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Steering wheel | Not listed | ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 PS5 | Steering Wheel for Gran Turismo DD Extreme |
| Wheel-side quick release, preinstalled | Not listed | QR2 Wheel-Side | QR2 Lite Wheel-Side |
| Power Supply (regional) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 4x T-nuts for rail mount system | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| USB cable (Type-C to Type-A) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Quick Guide | Yes | Yes | Yes |
$320.00 is the whole gap. Both prices are regular, neither listing showed a crossed-out figure, and the two lines above are everything that moves between the boxes. It is a difference between two purchases rather than a price for the rim, because Fanatec sells neither rim on its own.
No table clamp. None of the three lists holds one. The T-nuts mount to a rail, so a desk needs the ClubSport DD Table Clamp at $134.99 regular, which the base’s own compatibility list names.
Adding pedals costs $330.00, and Fanatec sells that box too
Section titled “Adding pedals costs $330.00, and Fanatec sells that box too”The ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 + CSL Elite V2 Ready2Race Bundle, SKU R2R_CS_RW_F1_CSL_EPV2_US, is $1,549.99 regular, and its “What Is Included” is the two products stacked: the Racing Wheel’s eight lines under the heading “ClubSport Racing Wheel F1®”, then ten more under “CSL Elite Pedals V2”, starting with “CSL Elite Pedals V2 (three-pedal set, fully assembled)”.
Priced against the parts, that bundle charges a cent over the pedals’ own sticker:
| Purchase | Regular price | Current price on 29 July 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 | $1,219.99 | $1,219.99 |
| CSL Elite Pedals V2, bought alone | $329.99 | $279.99 |
| The two bought separately, at regular prices | $1,549.98 | |
| ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 + CSL Elite V2 Ready2Race Bundle | $1,549.99 | $1,549.99 |
The sale flips it. The pedals showed $279.99 against a $329.99 regular on 29 July 2026, which puts the two boxes at $1,499.98 that day against the bundle’s $1,549.99. A sale ends on a day nobody publishes, so both figures are labeled above rather than merged.
A cockpit bundle instead. None of the 17 listings in Steering Wheel & Pedal Bundles pairs it with pedals. One of the 5 in Cockpit Bundles does: the ClubSport GT Cockpit Gran Turismo Bundle – Black (18 Nm), SKU CSCB_GTX_R2R_US, at $3,349.96 regular, whose contents open with the Gran Turismo DD Extreme’s eight lines and then add a ClubSport GT Cockpit, a GT Cockpit Monitor Stand, and ClubSport Pedals V3. That is $2,129.97 over the Racing Wheel, for a rig and a three-pedal set. None of the five cockpit bundles holds the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1.
Neither rim is sold on its own
Section titled “Neither rim is sold on its own”Fanatec says so for one of them. The ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 PS5 feature list reads “Unique to ClubSport Racing Wheel F1® package, not sold separately”, and that line renders once on the listing.
For the other, Fanatec states nothing and sells nothing. Its US sitemap carried 329 English product URLs on 29 July 2026, 54 of them under /p/steering-wheels/, and no URL among them names a Steering Wheel for Gran Turismo DD Extreme.
Every other listing that carries either rim carries the whole Racing Wheel around it: a Certified Refurbished package of each box, the Ready2Race bundle that adds pedals to the F1, and the cockpit bundle that adds a rig and pedals to the Gran Turismo DD Extreme. Neither rim is a SKU anywhere.
Both rims run PlayStation through the base rather than through themselves. Each feature list reads “Officially licensed for PlayStation®5 (compatibility is achieved via the Wheel Base)”, and the Gran Turismo DD Extreme’s compatibility tab spells out what that means if you move the rim: it is “compatible with Podium DD (2026), ClubSport DD, and ClubSport DD+. Note that PlayStation compatibility comes from the Base – this Steering Wheel does not enable PlayStation compatibility on Podium DD (2026) and ClubSport DD.”
Neither box reaches an Xbox. Fanatec’s platform row on both Racing Wheels reads “PC, PlayStation”, while the same row on the bare ClubSport DD+ reads “PC, Playstation, Xbox Ready”. The base can take an Xbox-licensed Fanatec rim; the rim in each of these boxes is not one. An Xbox buyer wanting this base is buying a rim on top, which the ClubSport Universal Hub V2 and ClubSport Formula V2.5 X reviews both cover.
What each box costs before it brakes
Section titled “What each box costs before it brakes”Every figure is a regular price from Fanatec’s own US listing, read 29 July 2026.
| ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 | Gran Turismo DD Extreme | |
|---|---|---|
| Component cost, the base alone | $899.99 | $899.99 |
| Functional steering cost | $1,219.99 | $1,219.99 |
| Complete controls, plus $139.99 CSL Pedals | $1,359.98 | $1,359.98 |
| Desk-ready, plus the $134.99 ClubSport DD Table Clamp | $1,494.97 | $1,494.97 |
The same four figures for five base-and-wheel systems, these two plus the Moza R9 and R12 wheel bundles and the Logitech RS50 System, are at the foot of this page.
The functional figure is the sticker, because each box steers as it ships. The CSL Pedals are the cheapest Fanatec set that connects here, a two-pedal unit whose compatibility list names “All ClubSport Wheel Bases” and which ships its own RJ12 cable. A load-cell brake starts at the $199.99 CSL Pedals LC, which Fanatec’s feature list opens as a “Three-pedal set (clutch, brake, throttle)”, so the load cell kit inside it adds a pedal rather than only fitting a cell to the brake, and the $329.99 CSL Elite Pedals V2 and the $429.99 ClubSport Pedals V3 sit above it, all three regular prices. Pedals covers why the brake is the purchase that moves lap times.
Who it’s for
Section titled “Who it’s for”A PlayStation racer buying 18 Nm and a matched rim in one order, who will buy pedals separately.
Buy it if:
- You race on PS5 or PS4 and want the strongest Fanatec base with a license, without picking a rim first.
- You already own pedals. Any Fanatec set connects to the base’s pedal port, and the compatibility list adds “All Fanatec Pedals (adapter cables might be required on pedals without RJ12 connection)”.
- You want one of these two rims. Fanatec sells neither on its own, at any price.
- You want in-car adjustment. Each rim carries an OLED and the base’s tuning menus, so brake bias and traction control move without a button box.
Not the one if you race on Xbox, since the platform row on both boxes stops at PC and PlayStation, or if you want the pedals in the same order, where the Ready2Race line puts a base, a rim, and pedals in one SKU.
Watch-outs
Section titled “Watch-outs”- Nothing in either box brakes. The cheapest Fanatec answer is $139.99 and the cheapest load-cell answer is the $199.99 CSL Pedals LC, both regular prices, so price the box at $1,359.98 or $1,419.98 rather than at $1,219.99.
- A desk costs $134.99 more. The contents lists hold T-nuts for a rail and no clamp, and 18 Nm into a soft desk is wasted torque. See rig stability.
- Fanatec’s own metadata lags on both. The browser title on the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 reads “ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 & DD+ Wheel Base (15 Nm) | FANATEC” and the one on the Gran Turismo DD Extreme reads “Gran Turismo DD Extreme (15 Nm) Wheel Base Bundle | FANATEC”, while both product names and both feature lists say 18 Nm. Those are the pre-firmware figures, and the Special Notes on each page carry the correction: “Holding torque increased from 15 Nm to 18 Nm via firmware update (May 2026, version V1.4.2.3 or later).” A search result or a tab title for either box can still show the old number.
- The refurbished route was closed. Fanatec lists a Certified Refurbished version of each,
CS_RW_F1_US-RFandGT_DD_RW_X_US-RF, both at $975.99 regular, and both read out of stock with zero inventory on 29 July 2026. Neither sits in the Racing Wheels category. - The price is regional. Fanatec’s EU store carried the same two listings on 29 July 2026 and did not price them alike: €1,149.95 for the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 and €1,099.95 for the Gran Turismo DD Extreme, both regular, against one figure for both in the United States.
Alternatives to consider
Section titled “Alternatives to consider”- Fanatec ClubSport DD+: the same base with no rim on it, $899.99 regular, if you already own a Fanatec wheel or want to choose one.
- Fanatec Ready2Race: the 17-listing category next door, where a base, a rim, and pedals arrive in one SKU.
- Logitech PRO Racing Wheel: the same purchase shape at 11 Nm, $999.99 regular on PC and $1,199.99 on each console option, also with no pedals.
- Logitech RS50 System: $699.99 for an 8 Nm base that already steers, with a table clamp in the box and no pedals.
- Fanatec GT DD Pro: the cheaper PlayStation-licensed Fanatec base, whose two packages do include a wheel and pedals.
If PlayStation is why you are here, the choice between these two is rim shape and the clutch paddles, since the base, the torque, the license, and the price are the same. Put the next $139.99 into pedals before anything else on the wheel.

Section titled “Sources”Every Fanatec URL below returned HTTP 200 on 29 July 2026, and every price, SKU, count, and contents list on this page was read from the product JSON on those pages that day. Both Racing Wheel listings showed one price with no original price beside it, so $1,219.99 is a regular price on each.

Drive and torque is the manufacturer’s own figure carrying the manufacturer’s own metric, quoted in the cell and read off the listing the cell links on the date it gives. None of it is measured here. “Peak” is the most a motor makes for an instant, “sustained” is what it can hold, and “holding” is what it resists at a standstill, so the same motor answers to three different numbers and two figures wearing different labels are not one comparison. Where a listing quotes a figure and names none of the three, the cell says the metric was not stated rather than picking the likeliest one. Under the figure is how that torque reaches the rim: through reduction gears, through a toothed belt, or by bolting the rim to the motor shaft. “Not recorded” means no record behind this table carries either half yet. Some of those products do carry an Nm figure in the prose above, stated there with no check date on it.
MSRP is the manufacturer’s regular list price, the figure a sale is discounted from. It excludes tax, shipping, discounts, and sale pricing, so check the buy links on a product’s own page for what a seller charges today. A list price is also not a claim that the SKU is orderable: stock is read per part in the three total columns. A price says nothing about whether the product is still the one its manufacturer sells. That answer is in the buy box at the top of that product’s own page, naming the catalog page it was read in and the month it was read there. A store showing something sold out settles none of it, which is why the stock readings in the three total columns are recorded per part and per day.
Platforms is which machines the thing talks to: PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the same three in the same order on every row. Each answer is the manufacturer’s own, quoted and dated on that product’s own page, and none of it is tested here. “Only with another part” means the listing names the platform and puts it behind a purchase this one does not include, which is Logitech’s answer for Xbox on the RS50 base. “Listing does not say” means the manufacturer names that machine nowhere on the page, which is a different thing from saying it does not work, and it is the answer for both consoles on every bare Moza base here. Where a product is sold as more than one option and the options differ, the answer names the options it belongs to instead of the row: the Moza R3 drives an Xbox in the box Moza sells as “Xbox & PC”, which is the dearer of the two. “Not recorded” means nobody has read a listing for this one yet. The prose above states platform facts of its own, with no check date on them, and in places it states them differently: it describes the Thrustmaster T598 without the Xbox box Thrustmaster sells it in, and it names a PlayStation-licensed Fanatec base that has no record here at all. Where the prose and a cell disagree, the cell is the one with a quotation and a date behind it. Which part carries the console license, the base or the wheel, is not in this column. It decides what a reader has to buy to reach a console rather than whether one is reached, and wherever a manufacturer names the part, it is answered under the same heading on that product’s own page. Most of them name no part, so most of these rows have no answer to give. Whether a thing plugs into a computer over USB or works only fitted to a wheelbase or hub is under that same heading too, and it is not a column here for a plainer reason: every row here with a record is a base or a bundle built round one, and every one of them plugs into a computer. What differs is the parts the totals to the right of this column buy. Moza’s own listings put its ESX wheel on Moza wheelbases and its SRP2 pedals on “all sim racing brands”, and one enough-to-drive figure here buys both, so that page answers per part and names each part’s own listing.
Component only is the core hardware on its own. For a bundle, that is the base with the wheel and pedals taken off. It is not a price to drive: a bare base still needs a wheel, and most still need pedals. Where a manufacturer sells no such part on its own, the column says so and gives the month that was checked. Where it sells one but prices the product two ways across its own listings, the column links both instead of printing a figure that would not compare. Each figure is a regular list price and excludes tax, shipping, discounts, and sale pricing. “Not recorded” means nobody has checked yet.
Enough to steer is a base, a wheel or hub that works on it, and any quick release neither one includes. It stops there: no pedals, no shifter, no desk clamp. Where the total is more than one purchase, the cell names each part with its own price and links what the manufacturer says makes them fit. A wheel or a rim gets no total, because the same one adds up differently on every base it fits. Each figure is a regular list price and excludes tax, shipping, discounts, and sale pricing. The cell also gives what each part’s listing said about stock on the day it was read, and marks a total whose parts were not all orderable. “Not recorded” means nobody has priced a working path yet.
Enough to drive is that same path with a brake and throttle set under it. It stops there too: no clutch, no shifter, no desk clamp. Where the box already holds pedals the total is the bundle price, because the bundle cannot be bought without them. Where it does not, the pedal set is the cheapest brake-and-throttle set the same manufacturer sells, which is a ranking its own catalog settles. The cell names every part with its own price and links each statement the manufacturer makes about what works with what. Each figure is a regular list price and excludes tax, shipping, discounts, and sale pricing. The cell also gives what each part’s listing said about stock on the day it was read, and marks a total whose parts were not all orderable. “Not recorded” means nobody has priced a working path yet.
Ready on a desk is that same path with whatever holds the hardware to a desk, which every column to the left of it assumes somebody has already solved. Where a box ships a clamp the total is the box price, and the cell names the box list that says so. Where it does not, the clamp is the cheapest desk mount the same manufacturer sells for that base, and the cell links where the manufacturer names the base it fits. Pedals count here too where a set needs its own plate or brace to stay put; where a set ships that hardware, nothing is added. It still stops short of a clutch, a shifter, and a cockpit. Each figure is a regular list price and excludes tax, shipping, discounts, and sale pricing. The cell also gives what each part’s listing said about stock on the day it was read, and marks a total whose parts were not all orderable. “Not recorded” means nobody has priced a desk setup yet. What the manufacturer says about the mount itself is on that product’s own page, under “How it mounts”: the pattern underneath the base, and which surfaces the listing puts it on. No manufacturer quoted in this column publishes a torque above which a desk stops holding a base. Moza describes the clamp it sells for its own bases as engineered to handle full direct drive torque, and Logitech subtitles the clamp for the RS50 “Keep the RS50 secured on your desk even at max torque”.
In the box answers eight things a buyer has to know before the prices to the left of it compare: whether the box holds a wheel, pedals, a clutch, a power supply, a quick release, a desk clamp, cables, and mounting hardware. Every row lists the same eight in the same order. Each answer rests on the manufacturer’s own words, which are quoted on that product’s own page under “What’s in the box”, beside the box list they were read from. A quick release is two halves, one on the base and one on the wheel, so “In part” is a box that holds one of them. Mounting hardware means what fixes the hardware to a rig: bolts, T-nuts, washers, plates, and any tool the manufacturer supplies for them. A desk clamp is counted on its own line rather than as mounting hardware. “Listing does not say” means the manufacturer’s page settles the question neither way, “Not checked” means nobody has read that category yet, and “Not recorded” means nobody has read the box list at all. What a product can be bought on top of later is on that same page, under “Optional upgrades”, with the manufacturer’s own words naming each part and its own listing’s regular price beside it. That is a different question from the three totals to the left, which price what a product has to have bought before it works.
Last verified is the oldest date on any claim behind the row, so every other figure in the row was read on that day or later. A row is as old as the stalest reading in it, which is the rule the three total columns already use on their own parts, and a price checked yesterday beside a box list read a month ago dates to the month. Each claim still carries its own date where it renders: the MSRP cell gives the month that figure was checked, each total gives the month its oldest part was read and the day its stock was read, and every section on a product’s own page gives the date beside the wording it quotes. Where a record dates its oldest reading to a month and not to a day, the cell says the month and stops, which is the difference between a row reading July 2026 and a row reading a day in it. The link is the listing more of that row’s readings came from than any other, with the count beside it, and on every recorded row here it is also the listing the MSRP figure was read off. It is not the only page a row rests on: a total that buys a wheel and a pedal set was read off those parts’ own listings too, and the cells above link each of those where the claim is made. A date here says when somebody read a page, and nothing in this table is measured or tested. “Not recorded” means no product record stands behind the row, or none of its claims carries a date.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Fanatec Racing Wheel?
A wheel base with a steering wheel on it and nothing else. Fanatec states it under the category heading: "A 'Racing Wheel' is a bundle of a 'Steering Wheel' and a 'Wheel Base'. The Wheel Base delivers force feedback and connects all Fanatec peripherals together. All Fanatec Wheel Bases use Direct Drive technology." Two listings carried that category on Fanatec's US store on 29 July 2026, the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 and the Gran Turismo DD Extreme, both at $1,219.99 regular.
Do the Fanatec Racing Wheels come with pedals?
No. Fanatec's "What Is Included" runs eight lines on each box and no line is a pedal. The Gran Turismo DD Extreme listing says so outright, "The Gran Turismo® DD Extreme package supports all modern Fanatec pedals (sold separately)", and the cheapest Fanatec set to put under either box is the two-pedal CSL Pedals at $139.99 regular. See pedals for what a load cell buys over that.
What is the difference between a Racing Wheel and a Ready2Race bundle?
Pedals, and $330.00. Fanatec's Steering Wheel & Pedal Bundles category describes its listings in its page metadata as products that "include a wheel, Direct Drive base & pedals", and the Racing Wheels category describes its own as a steering wheel and a wheel base. No listing sits in both categories. The closest thing to an overlap is one SKU that adds pedals to the Racing Wheel: the ClubSport Racing Wheel F1 + CSL Elite V2 Ready2Race Bundle at $1,549.99 regular, which Fanatec files under Steering Wheel & Pedal Bundles and not under Racing Wheels, and whose contents list the Racing Wheel's eight lines and then the CSL Elite Pedals V2's ten lines. The Ready2Race page covers that category.
Can I buy the ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 rim on its own?
No, and Fanatec says so on the listing: the rim's feature list reads "Unique to ClubSport Racing Wheel F1® package, not sold separately". The Steering Wheel for Gran Turismo DD Extreme has no such statement, and it has no listing either. Neither rim appears among the 54 steering-wheel product URLs in Fanatec's US sitemap, read 29 July 2026.
Which one for Gran Turismo 7?
The Gran Turismo DD Extreme, whose rim Fanatec lists as "Designed in collaboration with Polyphony Digital" with a 2.7" OLED and two analog clutch paddles. Both boxes reach a PS5, because the license is in the ClubSport DD+ base under both, so the choice is a 300 mm GT rim against a 270 mm formula rim. Gran Turismo 7 covers what else runs on that console.
