Overview
The ClubSport Formula V2.5X (QR2) replaces the V2.5. You keep the stiff 270 mm carbon rim with magnetic shifters, now with the QR2 quick release pre-installed for a firmer connection.
Key features
- 270 mm compact formula rim with carbon faceplate and leather grips
- QR2 wheel-side included; drop-in on QR2-upgraded bases
- Magnetic shifters, expandable with the Advanced Paddle Module
- RevLEDs + FlagLEDs, multiple thumb encoders and toggles
- Podium-grade buttons with swappable caps
Who is this wheel suitable for?
Perfect for:
- F1/IndyCar and formula racing in general
- Drivers who want to control many functions directly on the wheel
- Users of ClubSport/Podium bases looking for a compact rim
Less suitable for:
- Rally/GT/road where a round wheel is nicer (choose RS or WRC)
- Xbox-only users (choose CSL GT3 or WRC)
- Those looking for a larger 300–320 mm wheel
- Anyone staying on QR1 without an adapter (QR1 Wheel-Side required)
Compatibility
- QR2 wheel-side included; plug-and-play on QR2 bases (ClubSport DD/+, DD2 with kit, CSL/GT DD Pro after QR2 upgrade)
- For QR1 bases (CSL DD, GT DD Pro, Podium) you need the QR1 Wheel-Side or upgrade the base to QR2
- PC: fully supported
- PlayStation: in combination with a compatible Fanatec base
- Xbox: not intended for Xbox (choose an Xbox-certified wheel)
Alternatives
- Fanatec CSL GT3 – budget-friendly GT alternative with many features
- Fanatec ClubSport RS – premium round wheel (320 mm)
- Fanatec Podium BMW M4 GT3 – high-end motorsport rim
Conclusion
Compact, rigid and packed with inputs – now with QR2 as standard. The V2.5X keeps the beloved V2.5 ergonomics, connects more directly to QR2 bases and still supports paddle upgrades and custom button caps.
