For Sale Clubsport Formula v3

I just picked this up from a 3rd party sale the other night. I really wanted to like it.

I play Gran Turismo 7 on PS5, I only play with gloves on and in VR.

I do enjoy the dual thumb encoders and the thumb rests on the grips.

Even though it's wider than the V2.5, I don't like how narrow it is. I even thought of keeping it for another rig setup. I have a CS DD, pedals etc that I had prior to upgrading to a CS DD+, Simnet SP Pros and an Octane Sequential.

I used it 3 separate times, and for shoulder width and hand placement, it's just too narrow for me. I feel like the shifters are too close, my thumb hits the shifter module and keeps bumping the encoders. LoL

So anyway. I'm asking for $290.00 there is no box. I do have the bag of button covers he gave me as well.

It has the metal QR2, just not the QR2 Pro(I'm not sure if that is an option from Fanatec).

Located near PGH Airport.

It took some time, but in 2027 we'll have a wheel with decent screen and Simhub support!

Project obsidian has been showcased at the 2026 Frankfurt simracing expo.

What do you recon the price will be?

Help Fanatec shifter issue

0 Upvotes

My shifter will repeat late try and shift me in the fifth gear when in neutral. Other gears are also affected as seen in the video.

I've already tried the electrical trick to insulate. Fix it for a month or so but it's back again and even after replacing tape a second time has no effect. Any ideas?

Discussion ClubSport DD+ RANDOM Siren sound? Any ideas?

1 Upvotes

Hi Guys

Has some weird stuff going on today. After updating GT7 i thought id play for a while.

About 10 mins in, I hear this RANDOM "SIREN" sound which appears to be either coming from my porsche gt vision wheel or my clubsport DD+ ( didn't even know it had a speaker ?)

I wasn't sure what i heard, i continued to play for about 20-30 mins, and then AGAIN this weird SIREN sound, fairly loud, like a speaker sound i can't describe it?

Played another 30-40 mins and then randomly again....

Any ideas?

Seeking Product Recommendations Fanatec Clubsport Pedals V3

3 Upvotes

Hi, I recently bought these pedals used, and they came with vibration motors, but they weren't installed. Is it worth installing them, or will they be annoying in the long run? I'd have to solder them first because the previous owner ripped the wires...

I mainly play GT3 in iRacing.

Thanks!

If your fanatic shifter is not shifting correctly , and you have tried almost everything, recalibrate the shifter using the wheels internal menu{see manual} Instead of the app.

thank you that will be all.

Discussion Trak Racer announced a 3nm wheelbase, with what seems to be a Fanatec QR2 lite.

Post image
69 Upvotes

With the merger, I wonder why this product is releasing under the Trak Racer brand rather than the Fanatec brand. Fanatec continuing to develop cockpits independently of Trak Racer is already causing confusing brand overlap. Trak Racer releasing peripherals that are obviously Fanatec derived at the very least is making the distinction between the two brands even blurrier.

Im looking to purchase this for PS5. Do you think it is likely to be a better deal on black Friday? or perhaps Fanatec does not do sales?

Help What springs/elastomers are you running on Fanatec Podium pedals?

0 Upvotes

Just ordered the Podium Pedals Sport and I want to tune the brake with third-party parts.

From what I've found, the stock springs are about 25 mm OD, 32 mm long, around 13.5 mm ID. I haven't found any elastomers made specifically for the Podium yet.

What are you running, and where did you get it? Springs, elastomers, stiffness, combos that worked or didn't, anything.

Thanks!

Help Clubsport V3 Brake Vibration Rattle

2 Upvotes

In the video attached I use the Fanatec App to test brake vibration, followed by throttle vibration.

I just bought a used set up Clubsport V3s. My brake vibration rattles, whereas the throttle vibration rumbles. Is this how the brake vibration is intended to be? Or do I need to replace the motor?

For Sale Fanatec CS DD and Clubsport Gt Shifter Mount for sale

1 Upvotes

I have a CS DD that I don’t use anymore and since I’m moving I need to get rid of it.
The front plastic has a piece broken out, which I still have and it holds well, but it is visible. It broke out during a self built motion rig incident, but the Wheelbase itself works perfectly fine.

I’m also looking to sell the right side shifter mount for the CS GT cockpit, which is still unopened.

I would need to get it sold by end of October and I’m located in Germany, Bavaria near Nürnberg.

Help Anyone own the GT Cockpit Monitor Stand? Need a couple of measurements

1 Upvotes

Thinking about picking up the GT Cockpit Monitor Stand to mount a TV, but Fanatec only lists the overall size (925 x 1220 x 1380 mm).

If you own one could you help me out?

  1. How wide is the narrowest part? The bottom looks wider than the top in the images.
  2. What’s the max height of the crossmember and VESA adapter you mount the screen to, measured from the floor?

I’m trying to work out if my TV will fit over my rig before I buy one (used).

Thanks!

Großes Lob an Fanatec und den Support – so geht Kundenservice! 👏
Ich möchte an dieser Stelle auch einmal ausdrücklich ein positives Feedback dalassen.
Nachdem ich Probleme mit ausgerissenen Schrauben an meinen Podium Pedals Formula hatte, habe ich mich an den Fanatec-Support gewandt. Gemeinsam wurde eine Lösung gefunden, und ich habe mich für Option 3 entschieden: die überarbeiteten Podium Pedals Formula.
Ursprünglich war die Verfügbarkeit für Ende Oktober angekündigt. Umso positiver überrascht war ich, dass der Austausch letztendlich so schnell und völlig reibungslos geklappt hat und ich meine neuen, überarbeiteten Pedale bereits erhalten habe.

Ein besonderes Dankeschön geht an Gaurav vom Fanatec-Support, der mich während des gesamten Vorgangs betreut hat. Die Kommunikation war freundlich, lösungsorientiert und unkompliziert. Besonders entgegenkommend fand ich auch, dass ich meine bisherigen Pedale bis zum Eintreffen der neuen weiter nutzen durfte und diese erst danach zurücksenden musste.

Vielen Dank an Gaurav und das gesamte Fanatec-Team für den tollen Support und die schnelle Abwicklung! 👍

Natürlich ist es ärgerlich, wenn ein Produkt Probleme macht. Umso mehr schätze ich es, wenn der Kundenservice eine faire Lösung findet und diese dann auch so schnell umgesetzt wird.
Es ist schön, auch einmal von einer rundum positiven Erfahrung berichten zu können. Weiter so, Fanatec! 😊
