Fanatec ClubSport Handbrake V2

Sideways Fun

The Fanatec ClubSport Handbrake V2 is built for drivers who demand precise, consistent control when rallying, drifting, and tackling cars that require aggressive handbrake inputs. Its completely redesigned construction combines a robust metal body, precision load cell technology, and extensive adjustability to deliver a realistic and dependable handbrake experience.

Whether you’re initiating a drift, locking the rear wheels into a tight rally corner, or simply adding another layer of control to your simulator, the ClubSport Handbrake V2 provides the performance and tactile feedback needed for serious sim racing.

All-New Metal Construction

The ClubSport Handbrake V2 features a completely redesigned cast and CNC-finished metal construction for improved strength, durability, and long-term reliability.

Its robust internal structure is designed to withstand repeated high-force inputs, while precision ball bearings at the pivot point provide smooth and consistent lever movement. The result is a solid, mechanical feel that closely replicates the action of a real motorsport handbrake.

Precision Load Cell Technology

Unlike conventional handbrakes that measure lever position, the ClubSport Handbrake V2 uses a precision load cell sensor to measure applied force.

This provides smooth and consistent analogue input, allowing the handbrake to respond accurately to different levels of pressure. The result is greater control when modulating the rear wheels during drifting, rallying, and other demanding driving situations.

The handbrake can connect directly to a compatible Fanatec Wheel Base using the RJ12 connection, or it can be used as a standalone USB device on PC with the included USB Adapter.

Extensive Adjustment

The ClubSport Handbrake V2 provides significantly more adjustment than its predecessor, allowing you to tailor the handbrake to your preferred driving style.

Adjustments can be made to:

• Preload
• Lever angle
• Lever travel
• Mounting position
• Initial resistance

This makes it possible to configure the handbrake for everything from short, aggressive rally inputs to longer and more progressive drifting movements.

Adjustable Preload

The preload can be adjusted by opening the handbrake casing and accessing the dedicated adjustment disc.

Increasing the preload adds more tension to the elastomer and load cell stack, increasing the initial resistance required to move the lever. This allows you to fine-tune the initial feel of the handbrake without replacing components.

Adjustable Angle and Travel

The lever offers three mounting positions for significant changes to its operating angle.

A rear bolt assembly provides additional fine adjustment, allowing you to achieve the exact lever position you prefer. The removable spacer can also be installed in two different orientations, providing three available travel settings.

This extensive adjustment range allows the ClubSport Handbrake V2 to adapt to different cockpit layouts and driving techniques.

Flexible Mounting Options

The ClubSport Handbrake V2 can be securely hard-mounted directly to your simulator rig using its various mounting holes.

It can also be mounted alongside a compatible ClubSport Shifter, providing a compact and authentic rally or drift-style control arrangement.

Side Mount

The included spacer allows the ClubSport Handbrake V2 to be mounted directly to the side of a ClubSport Shifter. This creates a natural hand position and keeps the shifter and handbrake within easy reach.

Angle Mount

Mounting slots allow the handbrake to be angled slightly towards the driver. This provides additional ergonomic flexibility and can make the lever more comfortable to operate during extended racing sessions.

Built for Rally and Drifting

The ClubSport Handbrake V2 is particularly well suited to rally and drifting simulations where rapid and precise handbrake inputs can make the difference between maintaining control and losing the car.

The combination of a precision load cell, smooth ball-bearing pivot, adjustable preload, configurable travel, and multiple mounting options delivers a highly customisable handbrake designed around the demands of serious sim racing.

Realistic and Consistent Feel

Every component of the ClubSport Handbrake V2 has been designed to provide a strong, predictable and realistic response.

The metal construction delivers a solid foundation, while the load cell measures pressure directly for accurate analogue control. The adjustable elastomer and lever configuration allow you to create a handbrake feel that matches your preferred driving style.

PC and Fanatec Compatibility

The ClubSport Handbrake V2 integrates directly with compatible Fanatec hardware through RJ12, providing a clean connection to your simulator setup.

For PC users, the included USB Adapter allows the handbrake to operate as a standalone USB device, providing additional flexibility when configuring your simulator.

Designed for Serious Sim Racers

From competitive rally stages to precision drift sessions, the ClubSport Handbrake V2 provides the durability, adjustability and analogue control required for demanding simulator environments.

Its redesigned construction and extensive configuration options make it a substantial upgrade for drivers looking for a more authentic handbrake experience.
