Fanatec has unveiled its latest exclusive steering wheel for 2024: the Fanatec Oracle Red Bull Racing Limited Edition F1 steering wheel. Officially licensed by Oracle Red Bull Racing and featuring cutting-edge technology, this wheel is a dream for sim racers and collectors alike. With a striking design and high-end features, this wheel promises to be the ultimate addition to any sim racing setup. Unfortunately, at the time of announcement and writing, not a whole lot is yet known about this new wheel. Nevertheless, in this article I will take you through and tell you everything you need to know about this new EXCLUSIVE steering wheel!
Exclusive design and top quality
With the launch of the 2024 Oracle Red Bull Racing Limited Edition F1 steering wheel Fanatec adds another premium product to its impressive range. This exclusive steering wheel is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a collector's item designed to attract the attention of Formula 1 fans and sim racing enthusiasts. What makes this steering wheel so special? And how does it justify its €650 price tag? I must honestly admit that is a hefty price tag for a pimped-up ClubSport Formula V2.5. Right, let's get into the details.
The Fanatec Oracle Red Bull Racing steering wheel 2024 combines technology and aesthetics to provide a unique racing experience. Key features at a glance:
- Official Oracle Red Bull Racing licence: Designed in collaboration with one of the most successful teams in Formula 1.
- Limited Edition: Only 2,024 units available worldwide, no doubt making it a sought-after collector's item, especially among Max Verstappen fans who took his 4th world title this season!
- High-quality materials:
- Blue carbon fibre weave: An eye-catching and durable design.
- Blue leather handles: Premium finish that is comfortable and stylish.
- Red Bull Racing accents: For an authentic look.
- Podium Advanced Paddle Module: Features advanced shift paddles that ensure ultimate precision.
- QR2 Wheel-Side: The first ClubSport steering wheel equipped with this enhanced quick clutch.
A Collector's Item (With a Price Tag)
Its exclusive character and premium quality come with a hefty price tag of € 650. This is significantly more expensive than previous editions, but the combination of limited edition and technological innovations makes it a unique offering.
For simracers looking for a more affordable option, Fanatec also offers the Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula v2.5 to with a price of € 339,95. Although this version also has Red Bull Racing branding, it lacks some premium features:
- No Advanced Paddle Module
- No flashing fluorescent details
- No dual-clutch paddles
This makes the Fanatec ClubSport v2.5 a solid alternative, but less exclusive than the Limited Edition. And this steering wheel is also in dire need of replacement as far as I'm concerned.

The Oracle Red Bull Racing Limited Edition F1 steering wheel will be officially launched on 30 November 2024 during the Fanatec Black Friday Deals. With only 2,024 units worldwide, Fanatec expects this edition to arrive within 12 hours will be sold out, as in previous years.
