The Fanatec CSL DD QR2 is an 8 Nm direct drive wheelbase (with the Boost Kit 180 included) for sim racing, compatible with PC and Xbox, designed as a compact, powerful entry point into direct drive.

This version includes the Boost Kit 180, which raises the torque from the base's 5 Nm to 8 Nm with no need for active cooling. Its composite carbon-fibre shaft and QR2 Lite quick release are part of the Fanatec ecosystem, with the same contactless Hall sensor as the Podium series.
