Just a few hours before Fanatec’s Black Friday 2018 launches, Fanatec has unveiled an image of their new F1 licensed racing steering wheel.
Here’s a screenshot of the wheel:
Here’s a zoom-up, even if the screenshot’s quality is, uhm, humble:
Let’s compare the button layout with Fanate’s classic formula style steering wheel, which will be available as a new edition this Black Friday, too:
This button layout is (from what the screenshot tells) identical to the classic Fanatec ClubSport Steern Wheel Formula [Carbon].
Comparison:
| ClubSport Formula Steering Wheel (“old style”) | ClubSport Steering Wheel F1 2018 (“new style”) |
| – top row 6 buttons (3 on each side) – center row 2 buttons (1 each side) – left side analog stick – right side funky key: an digital joy stick that can be turned left/right arbitrarily – bottom row with 3 buttons – 2 digital shifter paddles | all from the standard wheel, PLUS: – 2 more “stick-like buttons” in the center row. I guess these are two-way-switches – 2 new rotary knobs between center row and top row – 3 more rotary knobs between center row and bottom row Unfortunately, it does not look as if there are clutch paddles as on their McLaren licensed 30 cm Le Mans-style wheel. I also guess that this new wheel sports an OLED display, unlike the old style Formula wheel which had “just” a classic digital clock display. (note that this is just guesswork from looking at the screenshot) |
