Thanks a lot for your support! _______________________________________________________________________ The original McLaren GT3 wheel was one of Fanatec's most popular sim racing wheels, and with good reason. It was light, ergonomic, feature rich and lacked a lot of the arguably unnecessary things present on more expensive wheels, giving sim racers all the things they needed from a sim racing wheel without an unnecessarily high price tag. The Fanatec CSL Elite McLaren GT3 V2 is now here, carrying on the same theme but addressing some of the issues of the past, as well as including some new features. So let's take a look!

The Frenchie Co. recently got in touch and agreed to send us the Speed Cockpit to check out, so it's time to find out how this interesting piece of Sim Racing gear stacks up!

DISCOUNTS & FANATEC GEAR HERE: https://boostedmedia.net/discounts-coupons-codes/ IMPORTANT - Check pinned comment for some important corrections to this review.... About a week ago, I published a first drive and brief review of the FANATEC CSL Elite Wheel Base and commented that I felt the cockpit I had it installed on was not doing it justice and that I would revisit and do a more detailed review later on. Since then I've been running the CSL Elite Wheel Base in my daily driver and putting it to the test in a rigid cockpit to see how it compares to the ClubSport Wheel Base 2.5 that I've been using for the past 10 months. In this video, I take you through a comparison of the two wheelbases in terms of their specs and design features, then take you for a drive to describe the differences and where I think each excels or falls short.
