Push the limits using an exceptional Direct Drive Wheel Base in a compact design. Now including QR2, you’ll enjoy even more precision and detailed force feedback.
FANATEC® Direct-Drive technology.
When the steering wheel is directly mounted to the motor shaft, there’s no belt or gear drive to dilute the force feedback effects. Choose Direct Drive by Fanatec and experience your favourite racing simulations as the developers intended.

Maximum strength.
The CSL DD QR2 (8 Nm) package includes the Boost Kit 180, a powerful 180W power supply that unlocks the full performance of the direct drive motor.
8 Nm peak torque.
Using the included Boost Kit 180, the CSL DD operates in its 8 Nm mode. This provides much stronger feedback, and as a result, you’ll feel the subtle cues more clearly too. This high level of torque can be sustained without the need for active cooling, with the extruded and CNC-machined aluminium casing acting as the structural chassis as well as the heatsink.
Motorsport-derived quick release system.
The new QR2 quick release delivers rock-solid performance at the highest level. The shape of the coupling was developed for use in real-world motorsport, originally used in the 2022 BMW M4 GT3 race car.
Everything just clicks.
Steering Wheel attachment has never been easier. Simply bring the wheel towards the base and push to fit – no need to touch the quick release.
Hot-swap.
The carbon fibre-reinforced polyamide construction allows for fast and secure switching of steering wheels. Hot-swap between different wheel designs without needing to restart the sim or your Wheel Base.
