A few notes: Diameter is 270mm, not 280mm as I said in the video. On closer inspection, the paddles are using high-quality Contact Switches, same as the AMP module.
Literally every time I hear someone say tweezers in a youtube video, I think they're making fun of the verge's PC build video. But you actually pulled out tweezers.
I was just about to place my order when you reminded everyone of using your link haha Was quite tough to get through but I did it! Hope I've done everything right, happy to support a good bloke :)
Had it for over a year now and it's still in perfect working condition. It has done many many miles in F1 and ACC without any problems. Very good quality.
Excellent and in-depth review. Makes me feel like getting one. This wheel is gorgeous and the magnetic paddles is a plus. EDIT: What the.....??? Just now expanded the intro and saw "ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 2020 Limited Edition - North America - SOLD OUT". Well that's a bummer.
Crazy how there are so many variations and price points on a input device that does the same function. Even when it's been proven that a cheap wheel will perform just as well in a race and provide the desired results.
@@archieparry8252 yes they are the same appart from the trim ( carbon fiber and red accents on the v2 and forged carbon and orange accents on the limited edition, leather grips on limited edition and alcantara grips on the V2, the lower part of the wheel is attached on the steering wheel on the V2). The one shown in the video is a limited edition so they are basically exactly the same.
This is the dream. I finally got ACC and I'm loving it. I also play F1. I really want to upgrade from my LT G920 and this looks like it would be amazing with ACC and F1. I plan to start with V3 pedals first though.
So this is sold out but are they going to make a non limited edition available. I know there’s a Xbox/pc version but wouldn’t it make sense to make more of these available if theres a market for them.
One thing that wasn't factored into the price was that you get a copy of F1 2020 Deluxe Schumacher edition which is valued at around 50 EUR so that makes the purchase better value
I have a bmw csw wheel. I have not been able to bind the analog joystick that u mentioned in ACC for looking around. Do u need any special configuration done on the wheel before ACC can detect it?
Been wanting to upgrade my carbon wheel to get the rotary buttons, but no point now as F1 2020 got rid of manual ERS (only game I play). Wheel looks amazing though. Also, in the gameplay footage looks like he has rear view mirror at the top on F1 2019??
It's a licensed F1 wheel, but they didn't give clutch paddles? I understand that would've driven costs up, but if this is supposed to resemble an F1 wheel rim, you'd think that would be a feature.
ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module pre-installed (this accessory will also be available separately, by the end of Q3 2020. Price 99.95EUR, 99.95USD, 11,900JPY, 169.90AUD)
It always amazes me how tiny that Oled screen is, yet when power up the numbers look way bigger as I thought. Maybe it’s just me. Beautiful review btw. Especially liked that you went into detail with material quality and even wear. 👍
I wanted to order one, but had to wait until my paycheck came in to avoid using the credit card...I saw it down to 177 left and knew it would be close. The next day they were all gone. Literally 3 days they sold out the 2000 units. Maniacs. Now I just wait for the magnetic paddle kit and get the regular F1 wheel when it’s available.
If you watch... there may be some cancelled and they'll open up those orders. The other day there was 35 of which I snagged one. They're gone now I think but...ya never know.
Hey Will another great review. I just received my Clubsport BMW GT2 a few days ago. I have a question about the retention screw you mentioned in the video. Does it actually get screwed in the wheelbase once the wheel is attached to the wheelbase?
The difference between forged and regulair carbon fiber is that it looks different andt that forged carbon fiber is lighter but they are indeed just as strong
Question: I mainly race on PS4 and have the Formula V2 rim. Would I still be able to plug it into a pc and do all the fanalab things, then disconnect it from the PC. Reconnect it to the PS4 and have all the presets there?? (If you need me to explain a bit more feel free to say)
hello thank you very much for this test I currently have the formula v2 with the podium advanced magnetic pallet module I would like to know if this one in limited version the magnetic pallets are softer less hard for the passage of speed? because the podium advanced module advanced is too hard for me thank you for your help
Hi there, really good review. Could you tell me how the leather grips resist the daily usage? I know the alcantara grips start to get hard and "dry" with time. What about the leather ones? Are they still soft and comfortable? Thanks.
Hopefully someone can help me... I have the Fanatec podium F1 PS4 with DD2. But it vibrates way too much on the straights. It’s too unrealistic. Is there any way I can reduce the shakiness/ vibration on the straights? The fore feedback is at 75 and that’s fine for turns.... just the straight is super unrealistic. Thank you! 🙂
Looking to move to a formula wheel, but these prices are mind-boggling. I bought into Fanatec in the very early years and the quality has been excellent. My CSR Elite pedals will last a lifetime... but, and this is a big BUT, the prices have quadrupled over time. In these uncertain times, I will definitely wait ... barely-used formula wheels will inevitably flood the market when people start moving on.
Thank You, This is a Great Review. I bought as my first wheel but with the idea that if it was overrated i could resell it no issue. What Base And Pedal Setup do you suggest for a pairing. I decided to go with this as my first wheel and looking to get my setup correct for PC. Thanks!
When they announced that they were making another limited edition F1 wheel, I assumed it would it have a digital dash of some variety kind of like the Porsche GT3 wheel. Why hasn’t fanatic done this yet? It’s a good looking wheel with minor upgrades but nothing to warrant buying a whole new wheel in my opinion.
Question! Do you or anyone know how to remove the button caps? I’m afraid of breaking the wheel if I pull to hard. I have the podium f1 steering wheel.
after a huge amount of patience for actually getting on the fanatec website. ITS DONE. my wheel is pre-ordered. just waiting for the 3th of July for availability
@@boostedmedia thank you for the response. I am asking because on the Fanatec website shows the picture with the metal orange ones, and your review already have the magnetic. I have F1 esport wheel, I want to upgrade to this one, just wanna to know if I need to order the magnetic shifters
Nope, just compared it to a normal sound. It has a weird bassy distortion. It sounds like too much bass was added but in a way it really worsens the other aspects of the sound. It is definitely a poor bass boost type of deal; it's not just bassy but other sound seems muffled.
@@boostedmedia Haha, fair enough. Normally it's not like that so I figured it was just something like that :) Keep up the great work man. Your videos are really informative and have been a good way for me to get more into this hobby.
@@XxCrazZyNo0oBxX Yeah, thank you for that! I descovered it after my post, that there is such a support, what is really great! Unfortunately the F1 2020 Limeted Edition Wheel is sold out! But it's good to know that the csl elite base can be used even with clubsport wheels!😃👍👍👍
I like the chopped carbon however one thing I will say with the button caps, mine split so quick , maybe I was heavy handed but I didn’t think I was , I think the new button caps look a bit better as they concave where as the old ones are convex
I saw a lot of stuff on Twitter talking about how ugly the wheel is. I think it's sexy as hell, the orange, black, and grey crushed carbon fiber is a great color combo.
@@chorseundgrd Don't quote me on that, but I am pretty sure this is the first wheel that includes a sticker set, as it's also the first one to include the "sticker-ready" button caps.
Are u willing to sell this wheel? Been an f1 fan only since last year and i fell in love wit this steering wheel but i was too late to buy one. The leather style, the color design. Just everything man.
great video as usual. i will be buying a dd2 and will mostly play ACC, Rfactor 2, Autobilista 2 and codemasters F1...if I had to get one wheel either the Fanatec Porsche GT wheel or this one F1 2020..which would you suggest I get...I don't do rally. from a day to day racing wheel which you would choose. Thank you.

Will, great review, just purchased one!!! Tried to use your link but the Fanatec site is having some issues, it took me a while to purchase
@@stuflit Thanks very much mate! Enjoy the wheel!
@@stuflit i still cant get through ( in canada)
I wish Fanatec would release a larger diameter formula rim. These just seem very narrow
@@darealmayday8355 keep trying buddy!!
Literally every time I hear someone say tweezers in a youtube video, I think they're making fun of the verge's PC build video. But you actually pulled out tweezers.
I remember that piece of shit video😂😂
LMAO I still have nightmares! "That 8700K? YEAH, WE GOT ONE!"
@@boostedmedia hahahahaha. I'm sorry for any lost sleep you may have endured because of their horrible video
Same XD
I was just about to place my order when you reminded everyone of using your link haha
Was quite tough to get through but I did it!
Hope I've done everything right, happy to support a good bloke :)
Fanatec's approach to forged carbon looks better than Lamborghini's approach to forged carbon lol
Haha I think the end goals are somewhat different in each instance.
Tbh that wheel should be called the Fanatec Clubsport Performante!
Had it for over a year now and it's still in perfect working condition. It has done many many miles in F1 and ACC without any problems. Very good quality.
Excellent and in-depth review. Makes me feel like getting one. This wheel is gorgeous and the magnetic paddles is a plus.
EDIT: What the.....??? Just now expanded the intro and saw "ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 2020 Limited Edition - North America - SOLD OUT". Well that's a bummer.
2020 pieces excluding the free ones they've sent around (like this one :D)?
(btw they haven't even shown it on their website yet here in Europe...)
Crazy how there are so many variations and price points on a input device that does the same function. Even when it's been proven that a cheap wheel will perform just as well in a race and provide the desired results.
Sold out so fast, by the time I found out about it it was long gone....maybe next time!
In France we have a site like e-bay called LeBon Coin where you can sell absolutely everything and sometimes there is this wheel.
You can get the formula V2 which I believe is the same as this (this is just a carbon version or something)
@@archieparry8252 yes they are the same appart from the trim ( carbon fiber and red accents on the v2 and forged carbon and orange accents on the limited edition, leather grips on limited edition and alcantara grips on the V2, the lower part of the wheel is attached on the steering wheel on the V2).

Leather and NOT Alcantera.......Finally!!!!
Thanks
Sainz to Ferrari Riccardo to McLaren!
Well pleased that you sorted your lighting, contrast, camera issue .. good job
I've Been waiting for this all day! Great video Will !
This is the dream. I finally got ACC and I'm loving it. I also play F1. I really want to upgrade from my LT G920 and this looks like it would be amazing with ACC and F1. I plan to start with V3 pedals first though.
i have the V3 pedals now and I absolutely love them.
Everyone: DRS
Boosted Media: Overtake mode
Haha 😆
Lmao! Totally missed the DRS activation on that straight didn’t I. Lol!
@@boostedmedia haha made me laugh after a long day. Thanks :D
Interesting that they're going to be selling the shifters as a separate upgrade for other formula rims in Q3 2020 for around €99
Very good review covering just about all I could want. Thanks!
Their website is down from people trying to look at this thing
And the website is the place, where trust and quality are just beginning...
US site completely down still. I gave up. I am not going to spend any more time on spending $450
Yeah it's still down it's driving me insane
This morning felt like trying to buy tickets on Ticketmaster.. and just like Ticketmaster, I came away empty handed.
Yeah I get blocked from entering their site, which isn't a problem for anywhere else online
Where did you get the anodized quick release from? Great video even though im 3y late 😂
So this is sold out but are they going to make a non limited edition available. I know there’s a Xbox/pc version but wouldn’t it make sense to make more of these available if theres a market for them.
If u had a ps4 wheel base but a Xbox wheel would they work together? Also would you be able to use it on either console? Or just pc?
One thing that wasn't factored into the price was that you get a copy of F1 2020 Deluxe Schumacher edition which is valued at around 50 EUR so that makes the purchase better value
0:39 nah mate, I saw that the video was 40 min long
A very well done review with a lot of useful information, top job.
Pardon the beginner question ... is it compatible with the CSL Elite?
RIchardPhillipsStudio yes
I have a bmw csw wheel. I have not been able to bind the analog joystick that u mentioned in ACC for looking around. Do u need any special configuration done on the wheel before ACC can detect it?

26:48 is it normal it was stuck at 288 kmh while you were braking?
Can u put the advanced paddle module on any wheel? and if so can u use any wheel on a csl elite wheelbase? Still new to the fanatec ecosystem
It always amazes me how tiny that Oled screen is, yet when power up the numbers look way bigger as I thought. Maybe it’s just me.

Hey Will another great review. I just received my Clubsport BMW GT2 a few days ago. I have a question about the retention screw you mentioned in the video. Does it actually get screwed in the wheelbase once the wheel is attached to the wheelbase?
It’s optional.
The difference between forged and regulair carbon fiber is that it looks different andt that forged carbon fiber is lighter but they are indeed just as strong
Wrong. They are the same weight. It is simply more economical to produce forged carbon fiber for smaller quantities.
Still trying to get my own CSL Elite set. I hope this won't further delay the orders for everything else.
Question: I mainly race on PS4 and have the Formula V2 rim. Would I still be able to plug it into a pc and do all the fanalab things, then disconnect it from the PC. Reconnect it to the PS4 and have all the presets there?? (If you need me to explain a bit more feel free to say)
no, FanaLab needs to run in the background to get telemetry info from the game delivered to the wheel which obviously is not possible on consoles.
hello thank you very much for this test I currently have the formula v2 with the podium advanced magnetic pallet module I would like to know if this one in limited version the magnetic pallets are softer less hard for the passage of speed? because the podium advanced module advanced is too hard for me thank you for your help
Hi there, really good review. Could you tell me how the leather grips resist the daily usage? I know the alcantara grips start to get hard and "dry" with time. What about the leather ones? Are they still soft and comfortable? Thanks.
TBH I haven’t had any issues yet. Probably around 50 hours of use. Still looks and feels exactly like new.
Intro music at 0:30?
Would the forge carbon paddle plate fit on the Podium Advanced Paddle Module?
Hopefully someone can help me... I have the Fanatec podium F1 PS4 with DD2. But it vibrates way too much on the straights. It’s too unrealistic. Is there any way I can reduce the shakiness/ vibration on the straights? The fore feedback is at 75 and that’s fine for turns.... just the straight is super unrealistic.
Thank you! 🙂
This wheel looks great
Can i buy a gt dd pro with a clubsport v2.5 wheel and use it on ps5 and does the ffb work good then
Looking to move to a formula wheel, but these prices are mind-boggling. I bought into Fanatec in the very early years and the quality has been excellent. My CSR Elite pedals will last a lifetime... but, and this is a big BUT, the prices have quadrupled over time. In these uncertain times, I will definitely wait ... barely-used formula wheels will inevitably flood the market when people start moving on.
Thank You, This is a Great Review. I bought as my first wheel but with the idea that if it was overrated i could resell it no issue. What Base And Pedal Setup do you suggest for a pairing. I decided to go with this as my first wheel and looking to get my setup correct for PC. Thanks!

Why hasn’t fanatic done this yet? It’s a good looking wheel with minor upgrades but nothing to warrant buying a whole new wheel in my opinion.
Wouldn't be surprised to see that next year if they get the firmware for the digital dash to work with CSW and CSL wheelbases first.
Because they need more "Podium" additions like what you are referring to as well as some Podium pedals...
Do they give us spare button caps. Would be nice to change the caps for different games depending on button mappings
no, it just comes with the 11 black caps. You can order another set of button caps and sticker set though.
Another sensacional video you were born for this
Two more have been added back to stock if anyone still wants one, be quick.
there is flex in the wheel when using the dd1 or higher
Hey Boosted so do you really think there is a huge difference between this rim and the 2019 Limited Edition F1 rim?
Where can i buy the F1 Circuit Stickers in the background?
Look at the fanatec forum...they seem to fail to respond to a lot of buyers about their order status.
fyi, FanaLab 1.24b is available for some time now, needed for your Podium Button Module. Look in Forum for beta drivers - Podium Button Module.
I'm cosidering pairing mines with a paddle module and my brand new Cswv2.5 as a F1 Bundle. See if I can get 1200
Question! Do you or anyone know how to remove the button caps? I’m afraid of breaking the wheel if I pull to hard. I have the podium f1 steering wheel.
Maybe I missed this but why pay a premium for this rather then the clubsport ? Just the exclusivity aspect ?
All covered at the end of the video but basically yeah that and the magnetic shifters.
Is it 'fa-natick' or 'fana-tech'?
Do you think with enough super glue , this will work with my TM Tx? Or duct tape better to avoid compatibility issues? :)
Is there a possibility of these grips ripping around the stitching? My deathgrip did that once on my old T150.
Anything’s possible but these seem pretty sturdy. It’s pinched closed between the two halves of the grips.
Boosted Media mate you reacted on two of my comments in one day, cheers, subscribed as of today.
I try to reply to as many comments as I can :). Thanks for the support.
curious will this work for xbox racing games an on pc forza series racing games?
Are they making them again? They sold out...
Ordered! Took a while to place the order as the Fanatec website is obviously overwhelmed!
after a huge amount of patience for actually getting on the fanatec website. ITS DONE. my wheel is pre-ordered. just waiting for the 3th of July for availability
Glad you got there :). Enjoy it!
@@boostedmedia i will :) thnx
You'll be even happier when you take delivery of it on the 6rd or 7st of July
First Fanatec needs to solve the f1 dd1 wheelrim v2 disconnect problem…..Lots of people have freezing problems
Does this wheel comes with Magnetic paddle module already or the regular metal ones???
Comes with the magnetic preinstalled
@@boostedmedia thank you for the response. I am asking because on the Fanatec website shows the picture with the metal orange ones, and your review already have the magnetic. I have F1 esport wheel, I want to upgrade to this one, just wanna to know if I need to order the magnetic shifters
I think you’re confused. This wheel was a limited edition and is no longer available. The Formula V2 comes with the standard shifters.
@@boostedmedia yes, I was confused. I understand now. I meant the V2. Thank you!
That carbon fiber reminds me of the huracán performante I think that's the first time I saw that. Looks like a marbled carbon. Very interesting look.
Did you bass boost the hell out of that intro or do i need to fix my EQ?
Nope, just compared it to a normal sound. It has a weird bassy distortion. It sounds like too much bass was added but in a way it really worsens the other aspects of the sound. It is definitely a poor bass boost type of deal; it's not just bassy but other sound seems muffled.
I had the audio for the clip in the wrong layer and it added some bass to the eq. My bad.
@@boostedmedia Haha, fair enough. Normally it's not like that so I figured it was just something like that :) Keep up the great work man. Your videos are really informative and have been a good way for me to get more into this hobby.
@@boostedmedia haha! np man, i had a good laugh
Bravo!! 👍 I hope they will release a CSL Elite version on this wheel as well!
bro you can use the clubsport wheels on the csl elite base. I do that
@@XxCrazZyNo0oBxX Yeah, thank you for that! I descovered it after my post, that there is such a support, what is really great! Unfortunately the F1 2020 Limeted Edition Wheel is sold out! But it's good to know that the csl elite base can be used even with clubsport wheels!😃👍👍👍
What if you own a CSL F1 wheel? worth the upgrade?
I like the chopped carbon however one thing I will say with the button caps, mine split so quick , maybe I was heavy handed but I didn’t think I was , I think the new button caps look a bit better as they concave where as the old ones are convex
I hope they keep the old F1 esports wheel around, its price point is extremely attractive without giving up many features.
I think the rotary on your old V2 feels stiffer due to mechanical wear. Rotaries tend to get softer with time.
I saw a lot of stuff on Twitter talking about how ugly the wheel is. I think it's sexy as hell, the orange, black, and grey crushed carbon fiber is a great color combo.
Will that wheel be available in a non limited edition version? I dont like the f1 branding
It is already available in a non limited edition and it's called the Formula v2
Ouch that's a BEAUTY!
Great in depth review Will. I probably need to quit watching or buying or something. 😋😂 Thank you for your efforts to keep us informed. 👍
I think it is important to specify that the former V2 WHEEL rotary switches will not work on XBOX.
Website is down. Whats the price?
450€
When do we get to know witch wheel bases will work with ps5 ? Because to buy a wheel base for only half a year it’s a bit costly.
There's no official word from Sony yet apparently.
I am definitely buying the clubsport shifter for my circa 1990 f1 rim !
Nice to see them including the button sticker set. £30 saved there
It's very annoying they don't ship the sticker set with the Formula Carbon wheel lol Seems to ship with every wheel but that one!
@@chorseundgrd Don't quote me on that, but I am pretty sure this is the first wheel that includes a sticker set, as it's also the first one to include the "sticker-ready" button caps.
isthernes I guess it’s not much work for them as they’re removing the XB button caps anyway as it doesn’t have that compatibility that the V2 does.
Trying to load the website ever since this reveal. Haven't been able to get through in the US
I tried using the affiliate link this morning, but not sure if it actually worked since their website was crashing every 2 seconds.
Anybody’s guess right now. Hopefully things settle soon :)
If it’s not compatible with Xbox why does it say Xbox ready with the csl elite bundle that includes this wheel ?
because the base technically is xbox READY, not xbox compatible.
Xbox compatibility comes from a chip in the wheel. Not the base.
I find it hilarious how people get all this amazing looking gear at a premium... then play in VR lol
can u use this wheel on a thrustmaster?
5:28 the Ascher wheel is 3x the price of the Fanatec?
Probably yes, the prices they are asking for steering wheels are insane.
Ahh man all sold out. Will there be another run of these or did I miss the boat?
P F you missed the boat if you live is US.
Are u willing to sell this wheel? Been an f1 fan only since last year and i fell in love wit this steering wheel but i was too late to buy one. The leather style, the color design. Just everything man.
Can I buy this wheel with a ps4/5 base and use it on both Xbox and ps5? Thank you
Sure can
Does it comes with that shiftpaddles that u have ☺️
It comes as shown.
I want one of these so much. Going to have to start saving up
do you prefer leather or alcantara ?
great video as usual. i will be buying a dd2 and will mostly play ACC, Rfactor 2, Autobilista 2 and codemasters F1...if I had to get one wheel either the Fanatec Porsche GT wheel or this one F1 2020..which would you suggest I get...I don't do rally. from a day to day racing wheel which you would choose. Thank you.
Really depends what cars you’re driving primarily. The Porsche wheels is more versatile in that sense.
This wheel can be used full torque with dd2 ??
Yes
have G920 on XBoxX, waiting for Fanatec until SeriesX is mine💯🎯🤩
So does it fit on my CSL Elite base on my PS4 and fully functional?
yes it fits, functionaility depends on the game.
