Thank You so much for posting this! I just pre ordered mine. I am an amputee that races with one hand and am excited to get my shifting assigned to the paddles on the back. The size comparison you did was perfect, I tried a formula rim, but found the smaller diameter and grips to be uncomfortable with one hand. Missed out on V1 and couldn’t bring myself to spend double for a used one.

"Why would i show takinng out of the box" I Feel Called out XD

[SoapSimRacer]

I'm like you mate, I wanted 1 for ages, then when I went to actually buy it they were gone :(

Glad they've made a return!

Hello Dave,
at 7:09 as u can see there is a pin on the original newly designed quick release, and that is missing on the metal quick release.
the reason for this pin is to activate Low Torque mode on DD1 and DD2 (it actually pushes a button on the rear of the wheel) since even though it is enforced plastic, it wont survive much against high torque.
and the rocker style shifter on this wheel is to also to use push pull shifting since some people use this style, push to downshift and pull to upshift.
just wanted to share some info hope you like them.
Nice video as always... Cheers.

Re-defining the "unboxing" video genre, get it all out the box straight away, no messing about, the way it should be! Good stuff as always 👍🏻

[alexworz]

The positive to the rocker type of shifter is you can change up with your left hand leaving your right hand free to drink a brew while going down the straights

[cesco]

Love it when new products are cheaper than used ones. Just shows you how greedy some sellers are. 😂

[unpaidintern]

This is an excellent wheelrim. I have one of the old ones though i've replaced the rocker shifter with magnetic ones by SRM. The magnetic shifters completely transform this wheel. It is my daily driver although i own the f1 v2 2018 and a round universal hub rim.

I can really really recommend the magnetic shifter upgrade made by SRM from the UK.

Rotary encoders on the V1 are 12 position. I use them for TC1 and TC2 on iRacing. They work great.

[MaxFluff]

the only thing I like about the rocker paddle shifter is is that you can up and down-shift with one hand on the wheel

[johnathanmoyer]

Good job covering all of the differences! I’m especially impressed that you noticed the honeycomb molding on the clutch paddles since you never had the original.

[GillesH]

I've been using the v1 for about 1.5 years now and i'm very happy with it. The OLED display broke about 3 weeks ago and i got it back from repairs yesterday. Besides that, really happy.

[Koopid]

The rocker shift makes it possible to shift with one hand only. Push or pull to shift up and down. Quite handy

[JustLoveday]

Just wanna note saying if you have Fanatec pedals, the hand clutch is already mapped as the clutch. Just uses the same input. Only have to remap if you use separate pedals.
Shame I've had no issues with my V1 McLaren rim, I can't justify buying another one! Great video as always Dave!

[hussssshie]

That style of quick release is called a collet chuck. Very very nice wheel, maybe a bit too minimalistic though

[jesustalamantes]

Just seen this on their website, I’m ordering mine tomorrow when I get paid.. a lot cheaper than the 350+ for a used one on eBay

[aleksandergamer]

My piece after less than 100h just broke - down shifter stopped working. Bad luck for me. Let’s see how the warranty at F works. If not broken, this wheel was great.

[billwiley]

I have the V1 McLaren GT3 rim and bought it when Fanatec had a bundle on sale that included the rim and the Clubsport metal QR for a really good price.
It has been my daily driver and I love it. Was actually worried if it ever failed I could not replace it as it was discontinued.
Well just ordered a new V2 to have for a spare.
My V1 shifters have always been fine but I will check out the V2 magnetic shifters and if they are better will make the V1 the spare.
For the money it is hard to beat the McLaren GT3 rim. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine!

[bradylubenow]

I just bought one through your link! I'm so excited for my first formula style rim, thanks Dave!

[flightsaitek]

Well seeing this I gather the countdown timer can be started for the BMW Fanatec GT3 wheel. . . Regardless of the price still looking forward to seeing the video and be entertained by the comments section.
