_______________________________________________________________________

The original McLaren GT3 wheel was one of Fanatec's most popular sim racing wheels, and with good reason. It was light, ergonomic, feature rich and lacked a lot of the arguably unnecessary things present on more expensive wheels, giving sim racers all the things they needed from a sim racing wheel without an unnecessarily high price tag.

The Fanatec CSL Elite McLaren GT3 V2 is now here, carrying on the same theme but addressing some of the issues of the past, as well as including some new features. So let's take a look!

This combined with the CSL DD would be my ideal setup for price to performance. Everything I need with a little extra for not insain prices.

I’m getting started in Sim Racing and this channel is exactly what I desperately needed to get started. Keep the good work and the best from Costa Rica

Good to see Fanatec listened to the community.

Review dropped before it's available on the website lol. I'm refreshing like a mad man!

[RTAMOTORSPORTS]

I love how this wheel feels. Looks great and the buttons/dials have now got me making in race tweeks I never used to do. It’s attached to the 8nm CSL DD. Unfortunately I am now very disappointed after discovering cracking and plastic pieces breaking completely away at the shifter pivot point (lower area near QR). I noticed this after 4 months of ownership using it a few days per week. I am seeking a replacement from Fanatec who have offered a repair only once I arrange delivery to Fanatec service dept in Aus. I’m hoping that Fanatec eventually decide to comply with the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) before a lodge my tribunal (NCAT) application this week.

I watched this video about 6 months ago. I ordered it this week and just took delivery yesterday.
It's disappointing (from polyphony) that you can't map all the buttons and rotary switches in gran turismo sport. However, the shear comfort and driving improvement you get due to the size improvement over the Gran Turismo wheel is significant!

Thanks guys for the video! It gave me info that I could heavily rely on in the purchasing process...

Just ordered a GT3 V2 wheel together with a CSL DD for when it comes out in November (hopefully) will be very interested how much better it will be than my little G920 :)

[Adrellias]

Will thank you for pointing out the quick release accessory. This is why I absolutely love your vids! 🤘 Happy festive season buddy, to you and your loved ones 😊

[MonsieurOlive]

Just ordered a csl DD and mclaren gt3 v2 your review helped me a lot

[ThePlayer]

Thank you for all the videos, i've been digging for a brand new setup with limited budget. Went for a DD pro GT 8NM + CSL pedals (without load cells because i don't have a rig) and this GT3 McLaren. I found all the information thanks to the channel

[merkman]

My apologies if you cover it later in the vid. At 14:23 you talk about flex in the wheel with that glass injected plastic mounting bracket. If you use the $99 quick release part, does that flex go away? It's amazing to think that wheel can be $199, but that flex looks annoying.

[Ninjax]

I really like the way this wheel looks and while I think it would be cool to have, that amount of flex in the mount would drive me crazy. It's very noticeable in the video

[teminite-]

Never been that fast for one of your vids😅 Better than the online class i have atm for sure😅😂

[TheBrennanSchafer]

Gotta give it to Fanatec they are taking over the mid-range sim racing market and deservedly so. No one is pushing forward the industry like them.

[MaleficRacing]

I honestly thought you'd accidentally re-uploaded an old video.

[buzzfightbeer]

Just pre-ordered. I have had my CSL Elite Playstation wheelbase and CS Shifter for about two weeks. Holy crap is it a big upgrade over pretty much all other gear and belt-driven wheels. Though I do realize the ClubSport wheelbase has a tad more torque, the newer CSL Elite wheelbases(Playstation version) with the ClubSport motor and sensors, etc. feels pretty fantastic. I cannot wait to try out this new steering wheel!

Did you hear about the frog race car driving? He crashed and had to get the car toad
