Finally! That’s what many will say after the long wait of over two years that Fanatec has put its customers through to release the new version of its Quick Release (QR). Why was there so much anticipation?
Fanatec’s previous QR mechanisms have never possessed the necessary robustness to withstand the forces exerted by the new Direct Drive bases. There has even been controversy surrounding the reliability and performance of the old QR.
Fanatec provides various options that are compatible depending on the base you own, offering the following compatibility:
QR2 – Wheel Options
