QR2 Wheel-Side Quick Release
The Fanatec QR2 Wheel-Side Quick Release attaches to compatible Fanatec steering wheels and connects them to a QR2-equipped wheel base. It is designed for sim racers who want a motorsport-derived coupling between wheel and base. The diecast aluminium body with black anodised finish transfers power and data without extra locking parts.
Spring-loaded locking pin mechanism
The spring-loaded locking pin replaces the QR1 design and holds the wheel securely with a tapered shape that self-centres. No separate screws or adjustments are required once the wheel-side unit is fitted. This change removes the need to touch the sleeve during attachment and reduces play between wheel and base.
Direct mounting to listed wheels
The unit bolts to the wheel hubs named in the compatibility list, including CSL Universal Hub V2, ClubSport Universal Hub V2 and Podium Hub. Installation uses the existing bolt pattern on those wheels. Buyers whose wheel base has not received the QR2 Base-Side upgrade cannot use this part.

Questions about this item
Will the spring-loaded locking pin need replacement after heavy use?
The spring-loaded locking pin is built into the wheel-side QR2 and is far stronger than the QR1 design, so no separate pin replacement is expected under normal racing conditions.
What limits continuous sessions first — heat or data transfer?
The aluminium body transfers power and data without active cooling, so thermal limits of the connected wheel base appear before the quick release itself becomes a bottleneck.
Does the anodised finish stay cool and quiet during all-day runs?
The diecast aluminium with black anodised finish has no moving parts once locked, so it adds no audible noise and only conducts whatever heat the wheel base produces.
