Fanatec Steering Wheel Comparison: Mclaren GT3 vs Formula V2.5 X 

Another key difference you forgot to mention is the Formula wheel has rev light while the GT3 wheel doesn't.

Precisely the comparison I was looking for, thanks man.

I wish i knew how to cut a carbon front plate for the McLaren rim! That would help firm up the structure giving the wheel that need rigidity.

very useful info thanks

I agree with you. I am still in a quandary as to which one to get. I want the podium module as well, but the McLaren wheel doesn’t take it, but the formula wheel is small. I currently have the Clubsport RS Wheel and would like a formula wheel, but still undecided

I currently have the BMW GT2 and Formula Carbon and am upgrading to the QR2. I really want to love my formula rim but it is just too small, especially after jumping off the 320mm BMW rim. I tend to spin the car turning too quickly into corners or not catch slides smoothly because I can’t power through the FFB smooth with its smaller radius. I’m sure with some driving time I would adjust but I really wish they offered a 300mm formula option. Odds are I will end up selling it off and giving the McLaren a shot in hopes I can switch between the two wheels for different events and still keep my muscle memory. Lots of people seem to like it.

I’ve been using the Formula v2 wheel for ACC and it does feel a bit cramped, especially for long races. There’s also more buttons and dials than I think is really needed for ACC, so I’m considering switching to the GT3 wheel. I wish I could justify the BMW wheel, that price is insane (but it looks sweet)!

formula wheel now for 200 euros, black friday

does the v2.5 stick out less from the wheel base?

Well that v2.5 x at $200 black friday deal guess which i went with:)

Still love the gt3 idc if its more plasticky I always find myself grabbing that over the 2.5x. Everytime not even joking lol The reason the 2.5x felt firm and more detailed ffb is its smaller thats how it works.

I just got the 2.5 and I like it but, it hurts my right hand a bit. I have either arthritis or carpal tunnel and I never have this issue with regular wheels. I'm thinking about trying the GT3 wheel instead since it has a bit more room. Kind of sucks because the formula is very nice quality.

formula v2 can be used with dd pro ps5 base??

im surprised that u cant tell difference QR1 and QR lite, QR1 should deliver more FFb detail due to better flex but thats just what i feel after comparing clubsport RS with QR1 vs GT DD wheel with QRlite.. already bought QR1 with GT3 mclaren v2. . will find out❤

Hello, just wondering to your McLaren GT3 shifters have the same exact audible tone? For some reason my right upshift paddle has a more pronounced louder clunk sound, while my right one has a more muted clunk and can hear the "click" more because of it. Both click the same when pushed slow to test it but when normal use the right upshift is louder forsure. Just wondering if yours is like this? Thank you!

I just wish the paddles were better on the McLaren wheel

Both suck! Buy simagic gt Neo with maglink for $300-310

Yawn!!!
