Fanatec ClubSport Handbrake V1.5 Review By The SRG

Fanatec ClubSport Handbrake V1.5

Barry Rowland of the Sim Racing Garage presents his review of the Fanatec ClubSport Handbrake V1.5.

In comparison to its predecessor, the V1.5 features improved components, such as a stainless steel lever, a refined potentiometer, a better connector, and a new adapter allowing a direct connection to the ClubSport wheelbases.

The Fanatec ClubSport Handbrake V1.5 can be mounted either horizontal or vertical or attached directly to a ClubSport Shifter. You can also order an optional ClubSport Handbrake Clamp Adapter. (Actual Clamp not included) 

The ClubSport Handbrake can be connected directly to Fanatec racing wheels on either PC or consoles. Optionally, PC users can connect the handbrake by using the ClubSport USB Adapter.
