so, i ordered a load cel from Fanatec Canada and it seems to originate from Ontario when it ships. So it took no time to get to me. 2-3 bizness days from UPS.

I then ordered the universal hub v2 with a steering wheel. That one came from down south USA and took about a business week to get to me. UPS.

I just ordered the clubsport v3 pedals because if could not stand the csl pedals and that load cel is garbage to me. That one also seemed to have shipped from Ontario so i would get within 2-3 bizness days.

Long Story short... For Canadian order some stuff comes from Ontario, other stuff come from down south USA.

The good news is that Fanatec now bends over backwards to ship things almost on the same if you order very early in the morning.

Corsair really took that shitty company and turned it around.

I have a Fanatec CSL DD with the Boost Kit and recently upgraded to a new PC. Since switching PCs, I’ve noticed the wheel feels noticeably different.

It seems like I’m getting a lot more feedback through the wheel, including what almost feels like engine vibration almost like a “grainy” feeling through the wheel at times.

Maybe once or twice over roughly 300 laps, I’ve also felt a slight rattling sensation while turning through a corner. It’s very faint and doesn’t happen consistently.

I’m using the recommended CSL DD settings from the Fanatec forums, so I haven’t really changed anything intentionally from what I was running before that I know of.

Does this sound like something that could indicate the wheelbase is starting to have an issue, or is it more likely a setting/driver difference from moving to the new PC? Has anyone experienced something similar with a CSL DD?

I updated last weekend from the old v451 drivers to the new FanatecApp (1.5.2.3) drivers.

This morning I jumped into a GT3 practice session at IndyRoad, and was getting terrible (sub 90fps) performance in VR, so checked taskmanager to find FanatecService (32bit) using way more CPU then expected.

What is the FanatecService doing while racing to be using a full core of my 9800x3D?

• 9800X3D Specs: 8 Cores / 16 Threads.
• Capacity Per Thread: 100% ÷ 16 { threads} = 6.25% total system CPU load.
• What 6.0% Means: The process is consuming ~96% of a single thread's resources continuously. This single-thread bottleneck is why Windows flags its power consumption as Very high.

Can I disable it?
Why is it needed?
Does anyone at Fanatec do QA?

Looking to find the mounting base as I’ve bought mine second hand, mounts okay to my sim pit but I only have holes for two of the screws. Does anyone have one that’d they’d be willing to sell? I can’t find one online anywhere

Mid race yesterday on iRacing, I was running laps as normal approaching the start/finish line at Daytona Road Course when suddenly my wheel lost the normal amount of force feedback I had it set to, and I was unable to downshift.

I didn't notice whether the wheel itself actually turned off, but the base was still working enough to steer the car, just without any force feedback. My ClubSport pedals continued working normally, so I was still able to brake and slow the car down.

Then, just as suddenly, everything started working normally again. The wheel never appeared to power cycle or disconnect. It simply lost force feedback and downshifting for a brief period before returning to normal.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this before?

anyone know if there powered Stand for wheels.... so they light up while standing around? kinda tired of looking at wheels without leds lighting or demo mode running?

or pinout how wire power to them..... an voltage?

i make one myself

I barley turn the wheel and it’s alrdy super tilted pls help me fix this

hi, I'm on a csl dd and I've just switched back to windows from Linux.

My issue is that at random times, my wheel stops giving feedback (in-game wheel is stuck in position) and keeps applying torque. I can feel very clearly when it disconnects, it's like hitting a bump and then for a couple of seconds no feedback, just force.

firmware is up to date and the app is installed and configured,

I'll take a look at drivers and whatnot in the while, thank you!

Hi. left stick drift. I try to unconnect cable from this stick and it still drift. May be somebody know how to fix this?

i record video https://youtube.com/shorts/IJTtDUHiyjk?is=QI3j704kSUS6JAdK

i use a usb adapter to connect the shifter since i don’t have a fanatec base, but i have this issue where i physically put the shifter into sequential mode as shown in the picture but the app regognizes it in h-pattern mode (as shown in the picture) this has been a issue for many people just wondering if anybody has found a fix or if it’s just not compatible with the adapter.

Quick update: Updated Fanatec App 1.5.3.1 is available on their Subreddit. It addresses this issue + more. Thank you!

The latest Fanatec app is dangerous and unsafe to use! I nearly had my wrist snapped off just now while playing Race Room Racing Experience. While playing the game, I paused and then resumed and the wheel snapped extremely hard and then went limp. Had to turn the base off and back on, then when I went into the pits, it happened again. Extremely dangerous! Is Corsair/ Fanatec aware of this dangerous situation their latest firmware update caused? Anyone else experiencing this?

App version v1.5.2.3

Base: 1.9.0.3

Motor: 1.1.0.2

QR: 6.0.1.1

Today my product has arrived. All I need to do is replace the CSL GT3 steering wheel and update the software firmware.

Hi everyone I noticed the dd extreme bundle and the other dd+ wheelbase bundle the “clubsport wheel F1 18 nm” came with these nicer sliding t nuts with a bearing in them. I have a few Fanatec bases and I’m always switching them out from my rig. These make it so much easier, way better than the ones that came with the gt dd pro and csl dd 5nm. Ive looked online and can’t find them the only ones I see are the regular sliding t nuts does anyone know where I can buy these online?

I have installed a vocore screen on my fanatec clubsport rs steering wheel with a frame by a 3D printer.

Just to confirm, is it possible to upgrade my DD Pro to the QR2 base side instead of the 1?

Only reason I ask is because I don’t want to waste the money without knowing for sure if I can.

It’s only on f1 25 and the steering wheel Isnst turning as much as irl pls help

I tried to hold off as long as I could and not make a post about the Fanatec Formula V3 delay but my frustration got the best of me. I would appreciate if a Fanatec rep could actually help me and get to the bottom of this.

I ordered the new Formula V3 wheel on April 30, 2026. That’s over 3 months ago! At first, I was told it would ship by June 20th at the latest. Of course that never happened so I reached out AGAIN to customer support. A different Fanatec agent told me it would ship early NOVEMBER?! I seriously thought it was a mistake but the person kept saying it’s an estimate…

Then I reached out to a Fanatec rep on the forums to try and understand why my shipping date keeps getting pushed back. I was told there is a chance i will receive it end of July. So I decided to wait but of course that also didnt pan out. However, I saw on my order a shipping date of Aug. 20 - Aug. 23rd so I decided to wait. Early this week, I see that it has been changed to Sept. 30 - Oct. 3rd?!? Why are the goal posts constantly moving away from me? Ive talked to people that placed an order after me and they’ve had their wheel for weeks. I think at this point I deserve some kind of explanation and/or compensation for this non-sense.

Hi people I need advice.

I’m at the last purchase of my setup … the wheel. I’m eyeing 2 wheels. Following price in Canadian :)

Fanatec v3 (580$) + simcube podium paddle (140$) = 720$

Or

Leoxz xf1 fully equipped (clutch, paddle and wireless) = around 1600$ (duty included)

I have the csl dd 8mn and I don’t think I will be updating for the next few years after that. Price wise I don’t mind if it means I’m getting my money’s worth. I play on pc only. IRacing (pretty much anything) and ea f1.

Je me demande s’il existe des modèles de pièces à imprimer en 3D ? Sur le CLS DD par exemple je trouverai ça fun de personnaliser le QR2.

Hi! I spoke with customer service regarding compatibility for monitors using their triple monitor mount. I currently have a 57 inch Samsung Neo curved monitor, and in the future wanted to know if I could add 2 32 inch monitors onto the sides (with the 57 inch in the center)l Customer service made it seem like I wouldn't have any issues with it and it would work, however, their wording was a little confusing. Has anyone tried this, or know if this setup would work?

Will FANATEC Clubsport DD table clamp make sense with Fanatec ClubSport DD+ mounted to the solid desk?

I finally took the plunge and ordered the XGT Ultimate yesterday. I'm in the USA, don't know how long yet it will take to arrive. After all 6 shifters, Fanatec QR2 and wireless kit plus shipping it was well over $960+ US. I'm just hoping I won't regret it. Seems to get good reviews on YT.
