Fanatec announced three new products at its Spring Showcase: the ClubSport Formula V3 steering wheel, the Wheel Hub, and the Podium Pedals. The company also revealed free performance upgrades for existing wheelbases.
The ClubSport Formula V3 replaces the Formula V2.5. It features a 290mm wheel diameter and a large display with Intelligent Telemetry Mode. The rotary dial has improved resistance and a push function, and the central rotary selector now has 12 steps. The analog joystick has been replaced with a second FunkySwitch.

The Wheel Hub is made of die-cast aluminum and supports 6 x 70mm and 6 x 50.8mm mounting patterns. It uses the QR2 quick release system, allowing third-party USB steering wheels to be used on Fanatec direct drive wheelbases. The Podium Pedals are priced at 699.95 EUR (about $821).
