Fanatec CSW V2 Preview By Sim Racing Garage


Check out the preview on the soon to be released Fanatec CSW V2 base. This is a beta base so the final version may change. I actually received an invitation for the new V2 base so I'm excited to get my hands on it when I get it. 

I had recently sold my XBOX ONE and Forza 5 game because it's just not the same driving with a controller as it is with a wheel. I could of bought a new Thrustmaster wheel to drive Forza 5, but it's a real pain to always switch around wheel bases and pedals between PC racing and Console racing especially since I do allot more PC racing. This new V2 version will help that out for me and I'll have to get another XBOX ONE then to play some Forza. 

I also like the fact that I can use a great wheel base and still use my existing Fanatec Rims I own with it. Plus the fact that in the future I'll be able to leave my rig setup as is and just change out to a different rim to play XBOX or PS4. This will be really sweet!

Anyway just my .02 and check out Barry's video preview.

  Fanatec Clubsport V2

Summary
So in a nut shell. This is an improvement from the Clubsport V1 by adding brushless motors, better cooling, double Hall Sensors, future compatibility for the latest consoles with a special rim and some aesthetic changes all for a limited time carrying the same price as the V1 of $499.95. But hurry as it will be increasing to $599.95.

If your thinking of getting into the Fanatec family now is the time!
