Fanatec acquired by Corsair

[Daz555]

I was wondering the other day what might have happened to TJ. Has anyone here heard any news of him since the final acquisition?
Any statements ?

Depending on how leveraged he was in Fanatec, I guess there is a chance he is now bankrupt?

I do not think so. He made money all these years. No big financial problems for him i suppose.

I hope he will come up with a new sim racing equipment boutique brand in the future.

He and his team were giving milestones every once and a while in the sim racing community.

He has way more things to offer in sim racing.
Let's hope he is doing ok.

That’s good, hopefully all the bases will default to QR2 too if they haven’t already.

About time, but too late for me, one of the reasons I just ordered a Moza was the mess that quick releases are option wise with Fanatec right now.

I commented on Will's Facebook post this morning regarding this. I literally had the McLaren wheel in my cart yesterday, but decided not to buy it because they wanted an additional 80 dollars for the QR2. Purchased it this morning and it was free with the wheel purchase. A few others cancelled their orders from yesterday and re-purchased today to save the money. Kind of stupid that they just do this out of nowhere.

In my opinion they should just get rid of QR2 Lite for good.
