Fanatec teamed up with Oracle Red Bull Racing at the 2026 SimRacing Expo in Frankfurt to reveal two major open-wheel hardware releases: a consumer home version of the ClubSport Formula Cockpit slated for 2027, and the new ClubSport Formula V3 Oracle Red Bull Racing Wheel launching in mid-November 2026.
Until now, Fanatec's true lay-down Formula chassis was reserved strictly for official F1 Sim Racing World Championship broadcast stages and trackside Grand Prix FanZones. Now, the German hardware brand is re-engineering that exact frame for home sim rooms. You can check out the full announcement lineup on Fanatec's official website.
Unlike previous Red Bull F1 limited editions that vanished into scalpers' carts within ninety seconds, Fanatec confirmed the new ClubSport Formula V3 Oracle Red Bull Racing Wheel will be a permanent, regular-production catalog model starting mid-November 2026.
Inside the ClubSport Formula V3 Red Bull Wheel
Scheduled to ship in mid-November 2026, the ClubSport Formula V3 Oracle Red Bull Racing Wheel moves past basic team decals by adopting the exact forged carbon fiber weave pattern used on Red Bull's 2026 RB22 Formula 1 car. The compact open-wheel rim is built around a rigid carbon faceplate designed to transmit crisp direct drive road detail directly to your thumbs.
- Faceplate: Forged carbon fiber matching the 2026 RB22 F1 chassis weave.
- Display: Integrated 2.7-inch OLED telemetry screen for gear, speed, and delta readouts.
- Shifters: Pre-installed Podium Advanced Paddle Module with magnetic shifters and dual analog clutch paddles.
- Availability: Regular catalog model launching mid-November 2026.
- Ergonomics: True elevated-foot Formula seating posture modeled on F1 Esports stage rigs.
- Home Packaging: Redesigned tube joints so the chassis ships in standard parcel boxes.
- Adjustability: Quick-adjust sliders to fit different driver heights without unbolting plates.
- Universal Mounts: Upgraded brackets supporting third-party pedals and accessories.
Re-Engineering the F1 Esports Cockpit for Home Rigs
Visitors at the Frankfurt show floor got a close look at how Fanatec is adapting its heavy commercial event rig into the 2027 home version of the Oracle Red Bull Racing ClubSport Formula Cockpit. Commercial stage rigs are typically welded in massive sections that are a nightmare to ship or carry up a flight of stairs.
For the 2027 consumer release, Fanatec is splitting the tubular frame into modular bolt-together sections that retain zero-flex stiffness under 25 Nm wheelbases and 100kg load-cell brakes, while adding universal mounting slots so drivers are not locked into a single brand of pedals or shifters.
