Officially licensed 300 mm WRC rally wheel

This model is designed around rally driving and is officially licensed by the World Rally Championship. Fanatec also uses it in official WRC Esports competitions. The round 300 mm rim is close to the size used in many real cars, while its shape lets the driver reposition their hands freely during fast corrections and high steering angles.

WRC branding, a tyre-tread graphic and orange accents on the paddles and stitching define the design. The RevStripe™ at the top of the rim combines a centre marker with a multicolour rev indicator, helping the driver monitor wheel position and supported telemetry without looking away from the stage.

Alcantara, aluminium and a design made for rapid inputs

The grip is wrapped in genuine Alcantara® and finished with an orange cross-stitched seam. The material covers the full round rim, allowing a wide range of hand positions. Brushed-aluminium spokes form the rigid front structure, while the rear cover is fibre-reinforced.

Orange metal shifter paddles are positioned behind the rim. Their Snapdome™ mechanism produces a defined click when activated. The paddles can be removed to make room for the separately available ClubSport Static Shifter Paddles, which remain fixed relative to the wheel base.

RevStripe, LED display and wheel-based controls

A three-digit LED display is integrated below the RevStripe™ module. In compatible games or through supported software, it can display information such as speed or the selected gear. The available readouts depend on the game, platform, driver and implementation of the Fanatec SDK.

The standard button layout follows the Xbox One interface, while the included Racing Style button caps provide more universal markings. The wheel also includes a four-way D-pad with push action. Controls on the rim provide access to the compatible wheel base's Tuning Menu, allowing supported settings to be adjusted during gameplay.

QR2 Lite, Xbox support and the required Fanatec wheel base

The current CRD-9020016-WW version has a preinstalled QR2 Lite Wheel-Side. Direct attachment requires a wheel base fitted with the matching QR2 Base-Side. The product page marks this configuration as 8 Nm maximum, while Podium DD1, DD2 and DD1 PS4 wheel bases operate with this wheel in Low Torque Mode only.

The electronics responsible for Xbox compatibility are located inside the steering wheel. When it is attached to a compatible wheel base, that base and connected Fanatec peripherals such as pedals, a shifter or handbrake can operate on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. PlayStation support instead depends on using a PlayStation-licensed wheel base. A wheel base is mandatory and not included; a firmware update may be required before first use.

1. Is a wheel base included?

No. This product is the steering wheel with a preinstalled QR2 Lite Wheel-Side. A compatible Fanatec wheel base is mandatory and sold separately.

2. Which quick release is included with the current version?

A preinstalled QR2 Lite Wheel-Side. The wheel base must have a matching QR2 Base-Side. If it uses another standard, verify support for a suitable wheel-side component before purchase.

3. Can the steering wheel operate above 8 Nm?

Not in the configuration described here. The current product page marks the wheel as 8 Nm MAX. Podium DD1, DD2 and DD1 PS4 bases operate in Low Torque Mode only with this wheel.

4. Does the Fanatec CSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC work with Xbox?

Yes. Xbox electronics are integrated into the steering wheel, so attaching it to a compatible base can make the complete system work with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Supported features also depend on the game and current firmware.

5. Does the wheel work with PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4?

Yes, but only with a compatible Fanatec wheel base licensed for PlayStation. PlayStation compatibility is built into the wheel base, so this steering wheel cannot add it to a PC- or Xbox-only base.

6. Which Fanatec wheel bases are compatible?

Fanatec lists Podium DD1, DD2 and DD1 PS4, ClubSport Wheel Base V2 and V2.5, ClubSport DD and DD+, CSL DD, plus CSL Elite V1, V1.1 and Plus. Gran Turismo DD Pro is also supported within the Fanatec ecosystem. The quick-release standard must match in every case; this version has QR2 Lite Wheel-Side.

7. What are the rim diameter and materials?

The rim is 300 mm in diameter. Its grip uses genuine Alcantara® with orange stitching, the spokes are brushed aluminium, and the rear cover is fibre-reinforced.

8. What do the RevStripe™ and LED display show?

The RevStripe™ can work as a multicolour rev indicator and centre marker. The three-digit display can show information such as speed or selected gear. Available data depends on the game, platform and software.

9. Can the shifter paddles be removed?

Yes. The orange metal paddles are removable, providing clearance for the separately available ClubSport Static Shifter Paddles instead of paddles that rotate with the wheel.

10. What is supplied in the box?

The CSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC, preinstalled QR2 Lite Wheel-Side, Racing Style button caps and Quick Guide. The wheel base, pedals and other peripherals are not included.

11. How long is the warranty on Fanatec products?

13. How do I submit a warranty claim for a Fanatec product?

Simline.eu is an authorised Fanatec partner, so we act as an intermediary in the warranty process and handle customer claims. Email support@simline.eu or fanatec@simline.eu with a description of the fault and photos or videos showing the problem, then prepare and pack the equipment.

14. What does Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S compatibility mean for a Fanatec product?

Xbox compatibility is provided by a steering wheel equipped with officially licensed Xbox electronics. Once this steering wheel is attached to a compatible wheel base, the connected Fanatec setup can work with Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. The availability of individual functions depends on the steering wheel, game and installed firmware.

15. What does PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 compatibility mean for a Fanatec product?

The product can work with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 as part of a setup using an officially compatible Fanatec wheel base. Within the Fanatec ecosystem, the electronics responsible for PlayStation compatibility are located in the wheel base rather than the steering wheel. A compatible steering wheel, pedals and other Fanatec devices can be connected to that base. Available functions may also depend on the game.

16. Are Fanatec products compatible with a Windows PC?

Yes. Fanatec products are designed to work with Windows PCs. The wheel base connects to the computer through USB, while some steering wheels, pedals and accessories operate through a compatible Fanatec wheel base. The current Fanatec driver is required for hardware configuration and firmware updates, while the available functions may also depend on the game.
