ClubSport V3 Pedals or Formula V2.5 wheel

Sten Magne Andersen

I already have the CSL pedals with the load cell kit, and the ClubSport Steering Wheel 320 Alcantara with the Universal Hub V2. But I want to upgrade either the wheel or the pedals. This is for driving open wheelers in iRacing. I also drive Dirt Rally 2.0 from time to time just for information.

But I cant decide if I should upgrade the pedals or the wheel. If I get the Formula 2.5 wheel I would still keep the 320 Alcantara for Rally. But I feel that "maybe" I would get some better lap times with better pedals instead of a wheel?? The wheel I use now feels really great. Nothing bad about it. I just wanted the flexiblity with all the buttons and all over realism of a proper formula wheel like the 2.5 version.

So... Would you buy the pedals now and the wheel later on, or the other way around??

Better pedals will probably have more of an effect on your overall laps times compared to a different wheel. The wheel would be a personal preference. If you are in the market for new pedals, I would recommend a pair of Heusinkveld Sprints/Ultimates (depending on your budget) over the V3s.

My suggestion...go for the pedal set.

The Formula wheel is really really good but, I have to admit, a little too 'small' for an overall use....I don't play F1 games but I wanted a wheel like that...the MC Laren Gt3 wheel is not an option, less buttons and switches, no led bars, and an awfully noisy paddle-shifter (yeah I know you can fit something to reduce the noise)....not to mention the plastic QR.....

I would love a new wheel, getting all the buttons and switches of the V2/V2.5/V2.5X and the size of the McLaren Gt3 V2.

I have V3 set, did not use too much as today, couple hours on the past weekend....very nice so far...I come from an 'old' CSL Elite LC pedal set, amazing value-quality for me.

Ciao!
