Sim Racing Review – Fanatec ClubSport Universal Hub Review

Doug Meyer of Sim Racing Review takes an initial look at the Fanatec Clubsport Universal Hub.

The ClubSport Steering Wheel Universal Hub is a modular add-on for the Fanatec Club Sport wheelbase that enables you to fit just about any Steering Wheel Rim you want. Fanatec offers a big range of wheel rims themselves, but the Fanatec Universal hub is also able to receive any aftermarket wheel such as the popular Momo, Sparco, or OMP racing rims.

The Fanatec CSW Universal Hub also comes with a display that can show you tuning settings or show telemetry data. The display can be installed in two different positions, either horizontal, or vertical. To top things of it also features an integrated Smartphone charger and holder for use with telemetry apps, or other mobile applications.
