Fanatec Csl Elite Wheel Base Review

The big draw of the csl elite base outside of the 1080 degree rotation is fanatec s eminently customizable race menu.

Fanatec csl elite wheel base review. It also has a multi colour rev display on the base s front used with compatible. About a week ago i published a first drive and brief review of the fanate. For this review we have completely re tested the csl elite as part of this f1 bundle. Just the usual note about how we reviewed this wheel base.

The wheel base housing is entirely plastic other than the face plate. Being able to not only set things like wheel rotation force feedback and deadzone on the fly but save custom profiles within the peripheral itself is far more of a benefit than expected. Important check pinned comment for some important corrections to this review. So as you see the csl elite wheel base is upper class with only club sport wheel base v2 beating it.

The fanatec csl elite starts out at 570 but as a highly modular system you could spend plenty more on the steering wheel itself upgraded pedals or a separate gearbox and handbrake. The bodnar simsteering system is a bit out of competition with a relatively luxurious price tag in excess of 3000 gbp 3700 usd at the time of writing and was only included for comparison. So much for the torque. Accessibility and performance are the two keys which make the fanatec csl elite wheel base a great budget racing wheel.

It offers some of the great technology found in more premium wheel bases yet is dressed down to become more affordable.
