I biught the same gloves too!!!

Did you get shoes too?

Not yet, but I'm thinking about it. With the lack of flex on my new rig, my pedals are starting to kill my left foot during braking.

Like the leather, never cared much for Alcantara (seems like a pain to keep clean). Silver color is OK. Hope it works on Xbox since the 2018 version was PS4 and PC. I notice that some reviewers for the Formula V2 were stating that the rotaries were to loose, hope Fanatec will stiffen them up in this version.

I like this 100% better than the 1st version ... this one has leather and the solid black bottom grip. With that little change it look realistic and not like a toy. Now if we can only get the Podium Advanced Paddle Module in a Silver or a solid Black

If only it was actually like that, though I’d go further and change the colour of three encoders, silver plastic never looks good, so cheap.

I agree the encoders should be black like the F1 2018 / CS V2 - with a Silver Stripe.

I'm happy I have the gold version

I don’t know why but to me the PS4 blue F1 wheel looks the better of all the F1 wheels shown up to now. I even prefer it over the Xbox one even though red is my favorite color

T minus ? @BrainsBush

T minus ? @BrainsBush

He probably meant 17 days countdown to the DD1 release date since the other guy got his Heusinkveld pedals and his sim labs cockpit all he is missing is the Fanatec direct drive wheel

 

[Knukel]

Interesting to see how it reacts to GTS over exaggerated undesteer effect and it's burst like violent FFB signals... Possible safety risk?

 

[Jason Yu]

Look at this guys work on putting leather wrap on his McLaren GT3 wheel.



Looks amazing.

Rig breaks apart and the guy falls to the ground holding the wheel. “Well, I was looking for a new rig anyway, thanks Fanatec.”

Well done, though personally I’d rather not feel stitching.

I know what T minus .... means.

The question mark was for @BrainsBush to fill in the date.

14?

Edit:you asked for a date. Hopefully I will receive the long anticipated DD1 on (max) 30. April.
Still a special day in the Netherlands.

So have your order yours yet? Or are you still debating on the which to buy?

So have your order yours yet? Or are you still debating on the which to buy?

Two reasons why I haven't ordered one yet:

1. I'm still pondering which DD wheel to get if I should get one
2. I'm waiting for reviews before I decide. I need reviews. I'm too weak to decide without reviews.

 

[super_gt]

It seems that the shipment begins.

[gh229]

Yes. I have a package arriving tomorrow from Germany. 16 kgs. That has to be Fanatec. I didn't order something else I think or my memory is not what it used to be.

Great that it seems Fanatec already ships the DD wheels!! Top job.
Now no more typing I have to check my mail again. hahaha

Great news that they are shipping. However, if it doesn't arrive tomorrow here in the UK we won't see it until Tuesday as it's bank holiday on Friday and Monday!
