    That was the end of last week. Have any invites went out yet?

  • I would love to see Fanatec show Thrustmaster what a true replica of a 458 wheel looks like, that would be awsome!
  • I hope Fanatec will talk to Polyphony and try and get the CSW V2 officially supported in GT7 (a patch for GT6 would be nice too, but I won't hold my breath).


  • Hi I am really looking forward to order Clubsport Wheel Base V2, I have since 2011 used over €4100 on Fanatec equipment and I am really satisfied with the quality and performance of the equipment.:-)  I should satisfy the requirements mentioned in Thomas statement regarding preorder  of V2 Wheelbase, but I have yet to receive an email from Fanatec?

    Another issue is that now that the V2 Wheelbase is in the webshop the V1 is gone, and if I'd like to download firmware or drivers for V1 it is not listed in the shop nor in the Support page. I have also tried "text search only" as mentioned in the support page, but nothing comes up.. can you please at least on the support page add Clubsport Wheel Base V1 again so we can download drivers and firmware.

    Thank you in advance

    PS.
    If I have overlooked something please show me the right direction :-)

    Thank you! :-)
  • Danke Thomas für die E-Mail heute. Ich war völlig überrascht und warte jetzt bereits auf die nächste E-Mail. Tausend Dank, dass ihr mich nicht vergessen habt und du kannst sicher sein: DAS TEIL WIRD SOFORT BESTELLT!!!  :D
  • Just recived my email to say they will be rolling out in the next few weeks?? Little more info would be nice as we were told this 2 weeks ago and it seems that only 2day ppl are getting emails :( Does any1 know if elite owners are above csw as it was released earlier.

  • 3-2-1 GREEN GREEN GREEN!!!
  • Also got one today. But i am not sure about it. My CSR-Elite, that has not been used much at all.
    Has some magder fading issues. I bet most of you sim racers use your wheel more than i have in a few weeks. 2-3 rounds around a track and it's light as hell.

    Not sure if i should spend the money on a kit i saw someone make. New holding bracket, different stronger motors, and made to be air cooled as well. Or if i should go for one of these bases and a Bmw GT2 rim + handbrake..

    Since its brushless it should be all good. Put some even better fans in it and add one maybe.
    Then do a Le Mans 24H race in Pcars.. 
    :-O 8-}

    As csw owner, I would like to know me too. I believe that anyone who has invested more money has the right to have a small advantage.

  • CSW are first then elite then the rest.
    Think it was in the info for the wheel base. Don't remember 100% were it was.

    If you decide you do not wish to use your invite to purchase a V2, please let me know. I'll take it.

    Yes I belive that would of been a fairer way of doing it, adding the total fanatec gear together and put them at the top of the list. Im a bit gutted really that csw get first codes as the elite was released first and we never had good support unlike the csw but nothing I can do to change the process now so ill just have to wait untill its my turn :( never know by the time I get my code fanatec may have a wheel for my ps4 (pls pls)


  • Thomas - you mentioned this in an earlier post  "After you purchased one V2 base you will receive a second code. You can give that to a friend or buy a second base."

    Can you clarify when we would get the second code? I have already ordered my first V2 base. 

  • All, if you are feeling charitable with your code, please think of me!!! Jamesricalde@hotmail.com
  • Wow, says code expires 24/09. That is this day, since it's past 12pm. But that is not true, code could only be used until 23/09.:-w Should be able to use it or extend it the last day to.

    Well then, i'll just get a SimXperience AccuForce Pro Steering Wheel or something.
    And get new motors for my CSR Elite, or use my old 911 GT2

    Updated (or should say; released) my review, it's no longer a preview of the review.


  • is it normal for a csw v1 to rattle if the fixing pin/bolt is not used. seems like my hubs don't match
  • My initial preview being in french, I'm pleased I can now share this fully translated version to english readers:

    Clubsport wheel v2 (p)review
