The 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps see the green flag this weekend, and Fanatec has unveiled a new wheel rim for the occasion: Meet the Fanatec Clubsport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance.
As a sponsor of the GT World Challenge Europe, the series' premier race at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps has to be a special occasion for Fanatec as well - particularly for the 100th anniversary. While the hardware manufacturer had recently been in the headlines for its supposed takeover by Corsair, it now showed a new piece of gear.
The Fanatec Clubsport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance makes its debut at Spa this weekend. It is designed to work with the Podium Button Module Endurance, which means that you could use the rim without it as well by simply attaching a Podium Hub - but with the rim featuring holes for the buttons and switches of the Module, it would look slightly odd.
Coupled with the Endurance module, the rim would not look out of place in a modern GT3 car, as the name already implies. The rim's diameter measures 318 mm, and it comes with rubber grips that supposedly have a similar feel to those on the Podium Steering Wheel BMW M4 GT3.
According to Fanatec, fans simply need to "find a Fanatec staff member and ask to buy a Wheel Rim." Beware, however: You need a Fanatec account for this, as the company handles warranty and service through it. The rim will not be shipped to you, so you have to take it home with you - but we would imagine that this is what sim racers prefer anyway.
The Fanatec Clubsport Wheel Rim GT3 Endurance costs €129.95 After the Spa batch is gone, the plan is for the rim to be sold regularly as well in the Fanatec shop.
