SKU : POR-SER-569
The Fanatec QR2 Wheel-Side is a motorsport-derived quick release system, originally developed for the 2022 BMW M4 GT3 race car and optimized for sim racing. Crafted entirely from diecast aluminum with a CNC-machined and black anodized finish, it ensures a rigid, play-free connection between your steering wheel and base.
Just push the wheel onto the base shaft – the spring-loaded locking pins automatically engage, providing a secure fit without any additional locking parts or adjustments. Removing the wheel is just as fast: press the release sleeve and pull.
The QR2 transfers power and data from a Fanatec base to a Fanatec wheel, ensuring seamless integration. It's compatible with all Fanatec bases equipped with QR2.
If you're looking for a precise, durable quick release that enhances your driving feel, the QR2 delivers.
All-aluminum diecast body with anodized finish for durability and precision.

The QR2 is not just a connector – it's a performance upgrade. The aluminum body adds a premium feel and reduces weight compared to plastic alternatives. The spring-loaded pins are made from hardened steel for long life. Whether you're swapping wheels for different racing disciplines or just want a secure, rattling-free setup, the QR2 delivers the precision of a real race car system.
The QR2 is compatible with Fanatec bases that have the QR2 socket. If you have an older base, you may need a QR2 adapter or to upgrade the base's shaft. Check Fanatec's compatibility page for your model.
No, the QR2 uses a spring-loaded mechanism that automatically locks the wheel in place. There are no bolts or clamps to adjust, though it's a good practice to occasionally check that the quick release is clean and free of debris.
Grasp the metal ring (sleeve) on the wheel-side and pull it back toward the wheel. While holding it, pull the wheel off the base. The spring-loaded pins retract, allowing release.
No, the QR2 is designed to be rigid and play-free. The tapered shape and spring-loaded pins create a tight fit that eliminates flex, ensuring accurate input and force feedback transfer.
Yes, the QR2 is designed to handle the forces from Fanatec's direct drive bases, including high-torque models. The aluminum construction and locking mechanism are engineered for durability.
This QR2 is a huge upgrade over the old system. The aluminum build feels premium, and the click is satisfying. No flex at all when racing hard.
Works perfectly with my Fanatec base. Installation was easy and it feels secure. Just wish it came with the other side included for the price.
I've been using this for months and it's been flawless. The tool-free click is so convenient, and the build quality is top-notch. If you're serious about sim racing, this is a must-have.
Does exactly what it should. No complaints.
The quick release works as advertised, but I found the mechanism a bit stiff initially. It loosened up after a few uses, but the price still feels high for what it is.
The QR2 is a massive improvement over the QR1. The connection is much more solid, and there's zero play. I can feel more detail from the wheel base. Worth every penny.
After about three weeks, it developed a slight rattle. It still holds the wheel, but the rattle is annoying during racing. I expected better from Fanatec.
