We've been lucky enough to be sent a pretty substantial selection of sim racing wheels from a number of different brands over the years. We of course have detailed reviews for the majority of them right here on the channel, as well as written guides and comparisons, but today I thought it would be interesting to run through all the wheels we have here in the studio and give you a quick review and comparison of each of them.

Today we get started on our review series on Fanatec's top of the range Direct Drive Wheelbase, the DD2. As the product has been on the market for a while now, I've taken a slightly different approach with this series and tried to include a lot of the questions I've seen in various forums online to attempt to answer as many of your questions and concerns as I reasonably can. In this video we cover the hardware, next we'll move on to the Software and Ecosystem (which as it turns out is just as important, perhaps even more important than the hardware is to the overall driving experience), and then tie it all together with some driving tests and our conclusions. If you have any questions, leave them below and I'll do my best to address them in future videos.....

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.
