The Fanatec QR2 Is Too Expensive! Here Is One Solution...

I'm disappointed by the lack of consideration Fanatec has given towards its loyal customers. For me, $600 is too much to upgrade all my wheels over to the new QR2 system. Instead, I could put that toward a higher end wheelbase or move over to another ecosystem such as Asetek or Moza... In the meantime though, I want to be able to add wheel rims to my Christmas list and still be able to use those wheels with another ecosystem should I choose to move on from Fanatec. I've found a solution to expand my options outside of the Fanatec ecosystem using Sim Racing Machine's emulator combined with a D1 spec quick release.

Here is SRM's Emulator:

This is why im thinking of getting the simagic alpha for my next base.
Easier to just sell everything and start again sometimes.
And my csl dd is g nna be a great buy for somebody out there

[ndLastJedi]

I think the base side should have been free to all DD owners and then discounts on the wheel sides.

Mounting other whels to o fanatec can be made with a SRM EMULATOR FOR FANATEC WHEEL-BASE that cost $100. The adapter tricks its a genuine fanatec wheel mounted :) and it hardly adds any length at all to the quickrelease!.

I agree, im about to
Drop £700 on a fanatec bundle but was concerned about some of the prices. It seems to be all of the qr systems are over priced if tou have to buy the shaft as well . Qr1 is defective and should be recalled and replaced
For free imo. Some items such as the pedal set are very cheap at £80
But then the extra pedal and loadcell are double that nearly, the extra pedal should be £50 and the loadcell kit £30 at best. I think they really do
Need to rebalance
Some of their prices and straight up reduce some

QR2 is ultra stupid I have all old wheels which don't have solution to update to QR2 and I want to buy new clubsport base but that base have QR2 and what now buy all new wheels ! Fanatec need to have both options in shop QR1 and QR2

[NamePend]

This only seems to be a concern for those who have many fanatec rims. Sadly like Apple Fanatec has such a large consumer base and influence that they will sell these products quite easily, and I'm sure they are aware of the projected volume.
It's just unfortunate that we had to wait so long because apparently the QR2 lite took many iterations, which delayed the launch.

Watching this makes me glad I choose to go with simucube for my wheel base and accept using usb wheels

[ACasualRacer]

By the way, I mention Clubsport Hub a few times before I correct myself. To make sure I clarify, the hub that Fanatec offers which allows you to connect other wheel rims is called the Podium Hub.

[derrickmorris]

Does this work for the Fanatec GT DD Pro on PS5?

[distreall]

You are still using QR1, adding additional moving parts to the setup. The biggest problem with Q1 is that it quickly becomes loose and noisy. Adding other wheels without buying multiple Fanatec hubs is a nice solution, but it's not an alternative to QR2.

[trabuco]

Me too, i wrote them about my dd2 I bought this year and they had no promotion at all. Just buy frim the store and bye. This rub me the wrong way as i have plenty of fanatec products. I replaced my V3s with the HE Sprint and once DD2 is out of warranty im out of fanatec products and move on

[Eskoxo]

with that many wheels id just stay on qr1 they will sell on new dd qr2 to qr1 conversion. ill be doing that with 1 wheel porche 918 as it would cost me more to convert it than buy new wheel.

[wwjnz]

How much is it going to cost to convert all of your Fanatec wheels to Asetek?

[strovich]

So the reason they sell these separately is because they're selling them to people like us with old setups who look to upgrade.

[Cactus.Scoville]

Dude, I’m agree on the fanatec doesn’t care of the so called community, the fan base.

But I think you delusional thinking they would give you a reward like discount on new products like the qr2. For what… loyalty…
😂😂😂come on !!

There’s no fidelity program, and fanatec love money, that’s the point of running a business.
You may bought too much wheels, do you really have a use of all those wheels you paid for ? Because now you kind of stuck to spend 600$, if you want those new qr2 ?
That’s mind blowing,
I’ve a gt dd pro, and couple of wheel too.
But before buying something I had to question myself literally seven times.
"Do I need this? Does it make me better”
Loyalty doesn’t exist, you’re just a bit too much compulsive.

[JOHB]

I hate fanatec... and that I ever bought a DD2... its noisy as f... - and they dont get a dime from me ! Sell it and buy elsewhere.

[strikkflypilot]

Yeah…adding complexity is never good engineering. Switch to QR2 or stay with QR1.

[Leo_Moreira]

Bro... honestly. Just leave Fanatec ecosystem. It's easier and you won't have to go thru all that crap of a solution.

[mikehammer]

Lol, "Don't buy the QR2 because I deserve a discount". okay.
