Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted combines an overhead-pivot brake and clutch with a floor-mounted throttle. The brake has a 90 kg load cell and a pre-installed adjustable damper. Throttle and clutch use Hall sensors. Adjust pedal-face position and throttle resistance, with vibration feedback for supported effects. Connect by USB to PC or RJ12 to a compatible base.

Brake and clutch pivot from above
On V3 Inverted, the brake and clutch pivot points sit above the pedal faces on the upper frame. The throttle remains floor-mounted. Your foot follows a different arc when pressing the brake or clutch, rather than operating three pedals pivoting near the floor.
Compared with the standard V3 set, Inverted has longer pedal travel and different spacing. It is a separate, factory-assembled pedal set with a heel rest, not a bracket for inverting pedals you already own.


The brake damper is already installed
A brake damper is included and fitted at the factory. Turn its knob to change how strongly it damps pedal movement. Brake preload is adjusted separately using the preload screw, staying within the marked range.
The brake signal comes from a 90 kg load cell, reading pressure rather than pedal travel alone. Adjust sensitivity through the Fanatec settings. The optional Brake Performance Kit changes brake stiffness and travel, but it is not supplied with this set and does not replace the damper.
Position the pedal faces and set throttle resistance
Change the position and angle of the pedal faces, or swap the fitted metal faces for the supplied D-shaped alternatives. There are three pedal extensions: two are already on the brake and clutch, and the third can be fitted to the throttle.
If the throttle feels too light, install the supplied stronger spring with its matching guides. Throttle and clutch use contactless Hall sensors. Over a direct USB connection, all three axes provide 12-bit resolution, or 4096 signal levels per axis.


Available vibration underfoot
Separate vibration motors are fitted to the throttle and brake. Supported effects can indicate rear-wheel slip, locked tyres or ABS activity. Availability depends on the game, connection and telemetry support; not every title activates the motors automatically.
On PC, USB allows use alongside another brand's wheel if the game supports multiple controllers. Alternatively, connect by RJ12 to a Fanatec base. Console operation requires a compatible base. Choose one connection only: never connect USB and RJ12 at the same time.
Vibration motors are not included.

1. Which pedals are inverted on Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted?
The brake and clutch pivot from the top of the frame. The throttle remains floor-mounted. All three pedals are included.
2. Is the brake damper included?
Yes. It is fitted at the factory and has a damping-adjustment knob. A second damper for the throttle is an optional accessory.
3. Are the damper and Brake Performance Kit the same thing?
No. The damper changes movement damping, while Brake Performance Kit changes brake stiffness and travel through its spring elements. Brake Performance Kit is compatible with V3 Inverted but is not included.
4. How does the 90 kg load cell brake work?
The sensor measures pressure rather than pedal position alone. The 90 kg figure describes the sensor, not a requirement to press the pedal face with 90 kg of force. Brake signal sensitivity can be adjusted through Fanatec settings.
5. Do the pedals provide vibration feedback?
Yes, on the throttle and brake. Supported effects can indicate wheel slip, locked tyres or ABS, depending on the game and configuration. These are not active pedals with motor-controlled resistance.
6. Can USB and RJ12 be connected at the same time?
No. Fanatec warns that using both connections simultaneously can damage the electronics. Use either USB to PC or RJ12 to the wheel base.
7. Can V3 Inverted work alongside another brand's wheel?
Yes, on PC with the pedals connected through their own USB cable. The game must support multiple controllers. This does not establish compatibility for a mixed-brand setup on consoles.
8. Which adjustment accessories are supplied?
Three alternative D-shaped faces, three pedal extensions with two already fitted, and a stronger throttle spring with matching guides. The additional spring changes throttle resistance; a separate stronger clutch spring is not included.
9. Do the pedals have to be bolted to a cockpit?
They can be hard-mounted using Fanatec's template. If they are not bolted to a cockpit or wheel stand, the manual requires both stabilizer feet to be attached and the set placed on a flat surface. Rigid mounting is advisable for heavy braking.
10. Do I need the ClubSport USB Adapter?
No. V3 Inverted has its own USB port and is not compatible with the ClubSport USB Adapter. Use the supplied USB cable on PC.
11. How long is the warranty on Fanatec products?
Simline.eu is the largest authorised Fanatec partner in Poland and Europe. Fanatec products receive full warranty protection for up to 5 years within the European Union, in accordance with Fanatec warranty terms. The period depends on the product. The current manufacturer warranty for a new ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted set is 3 years.
12. How is a Fanatec warranty claim handled?
As an official Fanatec partner within the European Union, we handle valid warranty claims through Door-to-Door service. Collection and return of the equipment follow the instructions we provide.
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 claims. Email support@simline.eu or fanatec@simline.eu with a fault description and photos or videos showing the problem, then prepare and pack the equipment.
14. Does Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted work with Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S?
Yes, through RJ12 to a compatible Fanatec base used with an Xbox-licensed steering wheel. The pedals' direct USB connection does not work on Xbox. Available functions also depend on the game and firmware.
15. Does Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted work with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5?
Yes, through RJ12 to an officially PlayStation-compatible Fanatec base. The base contains the electronics that provide compatibility. Do not connect the pedals directly to the console over USB; available functions also depend on the game.
16. Is Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted compatible with PC?
Yes. On a Windows PC, the pedals can operate as a separate USB device or through a compatible Fanatec base. Use the appropriate Fanatec software for configuration and updates. Check axis calibration after mechanical adjustments.
