Smack dab between all the fiddly knobs and things to press on the McLaren GT3 V2 is a 1-inch OLED screen. But if you already have a basic wheel to depend on for everything else, Fanatec’s latest McLaren-branded rim is a worthy addition to your kit, small nitpicks aside. This is a full-scale replica of the wheel used in the 2015 McLaren 650S GT3 race car on the circuits. There is also a mappable analog axes so if you want to map the paddles to any other function you have, even say looking around the cabin!

There’s a full 7-way hat but it’s a little bit low on the wheel so you need to adjust your grip to access it. If you’re looking at this new McLaren wheel rim, and think it all looks very familiar, you’d be right.Clutch bite-point mode, handbrake mode, brake/throttle mode, and mappable axis mode – all instantly available with a flick of the centre switch.

I'm really disappointed that Fanatec continues to sell a product that so many people have issues with so soon after starting to use it. Sélectionnez votre jeu et vous verrez la page des paramètres recommandés par Fanatec s'afficher en haut. This new system secures the wheel to your wheel base by turning the quick release locking mechanism.

To get a good starting point and settings that will make sure that the base will provide you with proper behaviour, you can check the Fanatec Recommended settings for the game you wish to play.
