Fanatec, a Corsair (NASDAQ: CRSR) subsidiary, debuted cutting-edge products and upgrades at its Spring Showcase, reinforcing its dominance in sim racing hardware. The ClubSport Formula V3 steering wheel, priced at €349.95, replaces the V2.5 with a 290mm display and Intelligent Telemetry Mode, enabling dynamic data visualization for lap times, tire temps, and more. Its ergonomic redesign accommodates diverse race cars.

The Fanatec Wheel Hub, a €99.95 adapter, bridges third-party USB wheels with Fanatec direct-drive bases. Featuring a diecast aluminum plate with dual mounting patterns and QR2 quick release, it offers a budget-friendly alternative to the Podium Hub, expanding modular setup options. Fanatec is collaborating with wheel manufacturers to make this the default compatibility solution.

Podium Pedals, launching soon at €699.95, boast mechanical precision for consistent inputs, while firmware updates boost ClubSport DD/ DD+ torque by 25% and 20% respectively (12Nm to 15Nm, 15Nm to 18Nm). Plans include Full Force for CSL DD and Gran Turismo DD Pro bases, adding physics-driven vibrations for enhanced realism. All upgrades are free via firmware.

Tobias Stelzer, Fanatec’s VP, emphasized expanded customization and performance optimization. The launches cater to both enthusiasts and pros, blending affordability with pro-grade features. Products are available now or via preorder, with regional pricing on the Fanatec site.
