The car is too German, 0:20 look at the steering column, looks like someone from Germany.

does the v2.5 stick out less from the wheel base?

Bro I can't thank you enough I was going to pay $20 for gorilla tag and I could not get it working and now it's fine thank you so much😁

im torn between this one and the Alpine Version! Alpine version lools more easily adjustable but IDK...

I use Reverb G2, RTX4080, and Moza R9 V2 as my experience

I have the Clubsport Wheelbase 2.5 had it for 5 years now, and I am debating between the DD1 podium and the DD+.. any advice?

Getting motion sickness when driving on tracks with elevation differences. VR is a complement to triple.

Very well said. I went from monitor to vr. The immersion is not comparable but the draw backs you stated are there. Find myself trying to hit buttons and missing them with my headset, but man, that immersion is worth those little things.

Do you always race in ACC using VR? If yes then what's your pc specs and what's the app you use to connect to your pc. For the life of my i cannot drive in ACC in VR, it just looks terrible and the fps are not great even though i have a 4080, I've tried many sims like iRacing ac and ams2 and the VR in those sims are very good.

I have had the pico 4 for almost a year, and the thing is perfect, way more comfortable than the Quest 2

Almost all of my best lap times have been posted in VR. The sense of depth you get in VR helps tremendously with judging speed and distance.

I really wanna use my pico 4 but getting racing games to look good 5 meters ahead of you is neigh impossible

Hey, this cockpit seems nice. Looking into it. Just wondering if this supports short people, Im 159 Cm and was looking in getting this. Will I fit?? Great Review!!

How?????🤷🏾‍♂️

VR for life

Are you running 27" or 32" monitors? I did search around your channel a bit but I didn't see the info.

My only problem with VR is the discomfort in the face and how I lose my surroundings. I thought it would make me nauseous before I tried it, but in sim racing it fortunately never did. And everything else is actually more practical than triples, which turned my room into a mess when I had them for my setup.

so you are aware that that CSL elite box you showed us is not one of the original high-performance "+" boxes 7Nm PlayStation certified not just compatible and it will have blue raised CSL elite stickers on the right hand side of the face,Fanatec as long been known for the way they manipulate products and names. The original boxes with the raised blue logos are the only original CSL elite dual built drive 7 N meter boxes that were PlayStation certified and will always work with every generation of PlayStation. The internal of this box were superior to the standard non "+" boxes. I bought three of these originals. I still have one in a box upstairs because I understand what fanatic does with their products. They don't get better overtime. They just figure out how to make them cheaper.

Probably because csl dd has linear output of torque while elite might not be linear but making the low output higher in cost weaker high output

I went triple since those vr headsets hurt my neck

I have the Q3 and triple 27" I find if I wanna lock in and do short style races on my motion platform the immersion is incomparable. But if I want a longer lap intense race and be able to pay attention to my real world (the wife) 😂 monitors are my go too. I find also it's much easier with my 4th screen to trail brake and notice the other drivers on the inside blind spots

I never understood people who said vr is not comftable meanwhile playing a racing simulator. If you want to copy the real thing, then why don’t you copy the feel of the helmet? If comfort that metter, why do you use dd wheel base and fight back with the force feedback, why don’t you just sit in your sofa with a controller in your hand? Is your vr almost 1kg? Maybe train your neck. Is the headset swety in a hot summer day? Well, in f1 it’s usual to lose 4-5kb weight because of swet.. this is why racing is sport because they are not just sitting in their cars (the drivers) but also training different muscles

I’ve already a t300rs and I hesitate beteween csl dd 8nm or club sport DD 12nm Or why not DD + but cost a lot An advice?

I just wish the paddles were better on the McLaren wheel

If you still own both, how many centimeters lower is the power connector at the clubsport DD compared to CSL DD?

can you use is for ps aswell because you can buy steering wheel and pedals from ps but not a wheelbase (pls react it depends if im gonna buy it or not.)

VR, if you get hot in a race, buy a fan and point it at yourself

formula v2 can be used with dd pro ps5 base??

Precisely the comparison I was looking for, thanks man.

Imo this is missing rev lights. Would still love to own one though

VR always worth a try, cheaper than 3 monitors

Just bought the bundle that comes with the blue F1 v2.5. This is the first set up I've ever owned. I didnt want to have to upgrade in the near future so I went with this. And I was right. I went big or went home not settling for any of the older DDs. The CS DD+ is absolutely amazing!

Wow the negativty in the comments. Your video was helpful to me. I know aluminium profile rigs are better but what i want to know is can i have something that will meet my needs and not be unnecessarily big and complexed.

Why does your dd+ go all the way around when turning on? Mine goes half way then goes back and stays in place. Most ive seen do it my way. Are you on a different firmware? Just something I noticed doesnt really matter since it works either way but yeah lol.

Comparing 230 euro wheelbase to 1k one, I sure hope so there's going to be a massive difference lol

Other than that the wheelbase works great lol. This after basically completely slamming the csl dd. Mmmmm... Right !

👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰

People just dont get it. Ill also never unsrrstand people that turn dampening all the way off and ruin alot of the center forces with spring and dampening turned all the way down. You want those center forces of torwue so when you turn in if it does go loose yku know its grip or understeer snd you can catch it. If the wheel itself is lolser already its harder to tell much harder. So i love center torque it helps me be faster truely. But of course yall can turn dampening down im nust stating the whole turning everything off that just doesnt work like some think. Ypu wont get more detail. Once you get dampening right the details will still come trhough but more counter weight. Sure to much actually dampens things but the right amount is so so nice. Ive told everyone there is a reason early on dd wheels were all made with higher torque dd is meant to have that its so smooth and it isnt a belt being pulled by a motor creating forces. So its just really different. You need like 10 to 15nm to get a true dd experience and get all of the benefits that comes with.

race location?

I went from DD Pro 8nm to DD+ and i think this upgrade was a great one. DD Pro is still a good wheel base, but good is he enemy of great. Im keeping my DD Pro as a spare.

2D newer be so immersive like 3D 360

This is the first wheelbase ive ever gotten that made me instantly faster. It's the knowing where grip is at all times. You can feel where you sre at when pushing super hard at the limits of grip and it just holds on stronger and longer then other wheelbases which usually loosen giving a slight understeer feeling around some corners yet this wheelbase doesn't do that. It always feels connected it's probably the least understeer feel ive ever had from a wheelbase due to feeling like I can control every little movement of the car. People say power doesn't matter but after experiencing this I think it does. I think the motor being able to hold the condtant torque is what helps the feeling of control. If you don't feel that weight or wheels you don't have that same control it's like every movement gets felt. When looser it feels like you have to over use the wheel. But there is a happy medium with this base yku don't need to use it at 15nm its way to heavy of a 15nm base for most to enjoy that but the power of it helps you use it even at half power. It has this perfect balance of free flowing while sligjtly dampened giving a super polished feel and tons of details. While feeling the weight but also being able to whip it around when needed. I mean its the only base that I've used that I could catch slides on f1 2023 no other wheelbase does the feeling of losing traction you can't feel with other bases. And f1 2023 has always had a slight lag so this wheelbase helps alot tbh. Idk how to explain it better then what I have. The most simple of answers is you feel much more grounded. Also for those cswv2.5 lovers out there if you get this hit me up in the comments or on my page I found the settings that make it feel identical in weight and feel. It's 50%50 so wheelbase not 100% like some say 50/50 works really good with this base. It won't over work you ans you still get that weight when needed with all of the detail you could ask for! Turn INT to 2 or 4 depending on what you like it allows for much more raw ffb details to come through then the stock INT at 11.

Just started Sim Racing and went VR to save space! I also play on a single 4K 55' oled television when I want to jump right in for a quick spin.

Thank you brother! Needed this!

I went from the CS V2.5 to the CS DD after 6 years and it is like getting new glasses , it's so crisp and responsive , easier to catch a spin and now find I can get the car to drift in iRacing, I also got myself the Mclaren gt3 wheel . this was a big difference in controlling the car , far better with the wider rim than the V2.5 wheel (that now feels like a toy)

I honestly can't believe that u think 8nm isn't enough. Real track car steering wheel force is generally between 8 and 11nm.(this is stated by a gt3 driver) What are ur lap time gains with 15nm over 8nm?

I was thinking to upgrade from csl dd to this, but I already invested in QR1 for both my wheels. Since the fact that you invested so much money into their ecosystem means nothing to them and they can't give you a good price on qr1 -> qr2 swap + they charge so much extra on this base compared to competition - selling my 2 wheels + booster kit + csl dd and going somewhere else is a better financial choice. I also don't trust them with their quality - plastic QR1 was a trash and the fact they were OK with selling this to 8nm wheelbase should be punishable. Also the C clamp that doesn't work and fragile connectors at the back.

Please correct the video title, it's the Clubsport DD+ (you missed the +) 😎 BTW I have the GT DD Extreme bundle, and also the McLaren GT3 V2 wheel, and they are awesome 😁😁😁 the McLaren wheel also works with the Crew Motorfest (the GT Extreme wheel has a bug with that game on both PS5 and PC).

Do you prefer the McLaren wheel over the v2.5x wheel ?

Which one lasted longest before failures and glitches? It should be Junk Vs Junk for those that love to throw away money on false claims and overpriced cheap equipment with no quality control made by a company that provides no customer support after sales. The internet is fairly well up to speed on just how crap Fanatec is now, no one should be buying this junk with better options out there.
