With a remarkably compact footprint, the CSL Cockpit punches well above its weight. Every part of the aluminium and steel construction is optimised for stiffness and strength. Combined with the CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2, an ideal starter wheel for the CSL DD, and the CSL Cockpit Seat this is a full cockpit bundle at the lowest price that doesn’t compromise on performance.
Unbelievably strong
Angled uprights help to distribute the load on the chassis more effectively than a rectangular profile construction. The CSL Cockpit can handle all Fanatec Direct Drive systems, even the 25 Nm Podium Wheel Base DD2, and the pedal plate is designed for the high forces applied on load cell brakes.
GT driving position
The classic GT driving position of the CSL Cockpit is ideal for most forms of motorsport, such as GT, Oval, Drift, and Rally. By inverting the Wheel Base brackets, a karting position is also possible.
Consistency is everything
Step into a rig that feels the same every time you drive, so you can focus on your lap times.
Easy to assemble, built to last
The frame is made of aluminium tubing and steel brackets, with easy-to-follow instructions to assemble with the included tools.
Accessories
Choose your optional accessories : CSL Cockpit Seat, CSL Cockpit Shifter Holder, and CSL Cockpit Monitor Holder are all specially designed to fit the CSL Cockpit (all sold separately, more accessories coming soon).
MULTI-PURPOSE DESIGN.
The 300 mm diameter is suitable for many vehicle types, and the lightweight construction retains fine force feedback detail even at low torque settings.
TACTILE, DURABLE.
The internal structure of the polymer casing means that the wheel is strong and durable. The rubberised grip provides just the right amount of friction, and is comfortable to use for long sessions, even with sweaty hands.
CSL DD. Now with QR2.
Bring the race track to your home with exceptional Direct Drive performance in a compact design. Now including QR2, you’ll experience even more precision and detail in the force feedback.
FANATEC® Direct-Drive technology.
When the steering wheel is directly mounted to the motor shaft, there’s no belt or gear drive to dilute the force feedback effects. Choose Direct Drive by Fanatec and experience your favourite racing simulations as the developers intended.
Plug and Play.
Our strong relationship with game developers means the CSL DD has broad compatibility and consistent behaviour across many popular titles. The Standard Tuning Menu has been simplified, allowing beginners to start quickly without having to worry about settings. The Advanced Tuning Menu remains for enthusiasts.
Pedal to the metal.
The CSL Pedals are solidly built from steel. Precise and durable sensors allow you to stay in control with smooth throttle and brake inputs.
Heavy steel construction.
The stability of the all-metal design means it is built to last. The stiffer spring on the brake pedal combined with the PU foam damper provides a realistic, progressive feeling.
Magnetic sensors.
Both the throttle and brake axes use precision Hall-effect sensors. By measuring pedal position with magnets, the system is contactless, meaning no wear on the sensor and consistent performance.

Special Notes
- Not suitable for children.A Direct Drive Wheel Base is not a toy! The fast movements of the steering wheel and strong torque can be dangerous. Please read the safety instructions.
- Partial returns are not be possible for (limited time) deals, discounts or offers.
- The QR2 Lite Base-Side (Type-C) included with the CSL DD QR2 is compatible with all versions of the QR2 Wheel-Side (Lite, Regular, Pro) and does not cause any torque restriction, even with the Boost Kit 180. Click here for all the details about QR2.
- In order to enable features such as Steering Wheel LEDs in some titles, it may be necessary to switch the CSL DD to Compatibility Mode. This can also help with titles not working in standard PC mode. Check the Quick Guide for details.
- Only the standard 90W power supply or the Boost Kit 180 can be used with this Wheel Base. The use of any other power supply will void the Wheel Base warranty, is potentially dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death.
