CSL DD QR2 Ready2Race WRC Bundle

This is an ideal package with Fanatec’s entry-level 5Nm wheel base, a round (official) WRC wheel ideal for rally and drifting.

It also includes the ClubSport V3 pedals which are load cell, include a clutch and are made from higher-grade materials than the CSL range.

For those with a PC or Xbox, this is a solid package, that can also be upgraded over time – such as the Boost Kit 180 for 3Nm extra peak torque from the week base, also reduced in the sale.

ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5

Fanatec defacto shifter, which works in both H-Pattern and sequential configurations, is a consistent best-seller. Consequently, a discount is rare.

That’s why a 26% saving is something to take advantage of. The optional carbon fibre knobs are also reduced.
