Fanatec Discounts Sim-Racing Hardware up to 54% for Black Friday 2024​

Sim-racing hardware manufacturer Fanatec is celebrating its first “Black Friday” since it was acquired by Corsair just a few months ago, and the company is going all out with a “Cyber Week” of special deals starting Tuesday, November 26...

DD Pro Base 499$ - CSL DD WRC bundle 480$. Once again "great" deal for Playstation owners. Great job with the collaboration PDI. 🙄👍 I hope Thrustmaster never ever again works with Gran Turismo so we can keep getting more reasonable products like the T598.

Keep in mind that the GT DD Pro base is 8Nm while the CSL base from this bundle is 5Nm.

And you think the swapped power supply justifies the price difference? 😂 That DD Pro "sale" is 770$ with WRC+csl pedals.. Thats a 300$ power supply. And you dont even get to keep the 5nm power supply.🤣 I do know where your affiliations are, but come on..

It has always been like this with sony/PDI. Its quite clear to whom we are paying the extra 60%(!?!) fee. That is insane mate..

I think sim racing community follows way too many youtubers who are playing for the industrys team instead of benefiting the community. Just saying.

Ps. I think Fanatec is killing its own product and playstation ecosystem with the official partnership - thanks to T598.

Pps. Sorry - for a moment I thought you are THE SuperGT, but I guess you just would like to be?

Anyone has experience with the V1.5 handbrake? Thinking of snagging it at that price.

I was hoping for some deals on qr2 stuff + universal hub (xbox version) to build my dream momo/sparco "prototype/sportscar" wheel ._.
Maybe next year...

Clickbait for playstation users...

Had mine for 2.5 years,no problems,works perfectly,easy to mount,vertical/horizontal,cannot go wrong, will probably grab another for back up just in case for that price

The v1.5 handbrake is by a large margin the worst product that Fanatec make.
My entire rig is Fanatec, they make good kit, but the handbrake is an absolute joke.
Mine lasted only weeks and had a number of issues, aside from the fact it is poorly and under engineered for the job.
Fanatec replaced it and I sold the replacement without even opening the box.
I spent less money on the Moza handbrake and it is quite literally a 10x better product. Hardware, software, ergonomics, design, adjustability and price.

I'm a noob racer on PC with an old Logitech and want to upgrade to a Fanatec. I have a PS5 at home. Although I never thought about racing on the PS5, I'm considering the Fanatech GT bundle. Does anyone have any thoughts on that? Should I consider another bundle?

Was really hoping for a sale on their Ready2Race GT DDs. I'll keep holding out for now.

Not an exciting BlackFriday rollout but I guess the previous ones bankrupted the company.

I recently had a mishap with my gtddpro, young son climbing behind my wheel to retrieve his ball stood on the wire and pulled out the pedal connector, fanatec won’t repair out of warranty

This is really tempting I have to say

I’m using my old t300 and am pining for my fanatec - might have to grab a cheap zero percent credit card and take advantage

Do it man, gtddpro and gt7 is just sim racing heaven imo at least

I have owned it since it's release and I love it. I can afford a stronger DD1 or DD2 but I am perfectly satisfied.

I can't speak to PC performance because I strictly play GT7, ACC, and PC2 on PS5

Does anyone know what time the deals tend to go live in the UK? Is it midnight or some time the next morning? Looking to upgrade my rig and the offers look decent.

Hi, I was decided for the GT DD 8Nm promotional package with QR2 + McLaren GT3 steering wheel and pedals CLS, which will give the amount of 880 EU. Today in PL there was a promotion for Logitech PS GPro Racing Wheel 950EU + Pedals 349EU + RS shifter for free (total 1299 EU ) . I don't know what would be a better option. I play only GT7 on PS5. Any suggestions? I'm currently playing on G923. My first choice was T598 + additional better steering wheel -but it's far too big. Logitech in the current promotion is minimally over my budget - but maybe it's worth paying extra and reselling the RS shifter

Fanatec has a bigger ecosystem (more choices for wheels, pedals, etc), direct sales only
Logitech has (probably) the better support/availability and can be found in third party places with decent deals

Performance wise both are good options for the wheelbase, pedals both "good enough" with fanatec offering two possible updates (csl elite v2 and clubsport v3)
