Planning your upgrade from QR1 to QR2

If you have been using Fanatec hardware for several years, you might still be on a QR1 setup. 'QR1' refers to the original quick release, introduced on the original Fanatec Wheel Base in 2012. 'QR2' is a new design with a different style of mechanical connection that was initially designed by Fanatec for motorsport use and was optimized for sim racing.

Moving to QR2 means considering both sides of the connection, particularly if you own several steering wheels.

Current Fanatec Wheel Bases already come with QR2, but earlier CSL DD and Gran Turismo DD Pro units shipped with QR1. These can be converted using the QR2 Base-Side (Type-C). The earliest Direct Drive Bases from Fanatec, the Podium DD1 and DD2, can also be converted. These require the QR2 Base-Side (Type-M). Fanatec does not offer an accessory to upgrade older belt-driven bases to QR2.
