They are going to have to jack up the price because corsair likely wants to put the product into retail stores. Retail usually doubles their purchase price as a general rule.

This is probably related to the fact that shipping is now free, which was announced this week.

Q1 2025 is ending w/o much further comment from Fanatec or Corsair on goals outlined by Corsair CEO months back

A bit more attention on the forum, which needs a revamp, and reddit, some minor new product, stock coming back…but still a lot of complaints on service, QA and SW/FW fixes still TBD

Wonder when we’ll hear more about what’s happening

I ordered this Wednesday and it seemed to be in stock and handed over to the warehouse... That was pretty quick. We will see how long it takes to find me from Texas. I'm hoping early or mid week.

Can't wait for pedals...

Fanatec Podium active pedals with support for existing wheelbases (and there ore console support)? I would buy them
