When I get mine I will try to post a video of it because there's nothing about the version 2. I still don't understand why Fanatec would not market it better.

maybe they didnt do a good job on it? i wont buy one unless i see some reviews first. they might end up owing you a fee hoon. đź‘Ť
 
Well, I really hope they do a good job then... because I already ordered it. lol


i dont know. theyre an odd company. the biggest complaint ive seen in choosing the WSP over the Rennsport was the adjustability on the mid pole. now they have made it possible to move that pole back and forth and they dont want to show it off? why? its the same pic on there website from V1. strange. dont mean to get you nervous im sure youll be fine but with Fanatec, you have to expect something to go wrong and pleased when/if it does not.
 
I totally understand. Well, if they send me version 1 I won't mind but I really hope the 2nd version isn't a step backward.

Fanetec, can you post some photos pleaassee? lol
 
Well, let's just hope Fanatec pulls through and get the deliveries out in January because if you are having second thoughts and wanting to get a WSP, this is what you'll see on either US distributor's website:

We've sold out of all our stands for our January shipment, any additional orders for those stands will be filled by a late February shipment. We recommend you still place an order because it holds your place in the "ordering line".

Damn, late February? Wow...
 
Well Fanatec emailed me that the Rennsport Wheel Stand would ship at the end of January and The Wheel Stand Pro in February.

I really hope Fanatec delivers on their word. I was actually thinking of just getting a playseat last night. lol So if they don't deliver I guess I can just get a Playseat? LOL
 
You just got a email from them recently? Well hopefully they'll deliver. But if I were you, I hope they don't so it's more excuse to get a playseat =D

I figured the less I order from Fanatec the better.

Ordered Dec 5 canceled the V2 WS mid Jan, (but it is still showing up in my order!?), received a refund, and ordered a obutto which I am now sitting in..

Good decision then! :)

Please don't tempt me! :nervous:




:lol:
 
Needed something more sturdy than two stools and a board so I put in my order today. The WSP looks lower quality and more expensive in the US; I've also been very pleased with the GT3 RS v2 wheel and CS Pedals I picked up a few months ago.
Hopefully it gets here before the end of GT Academy Round 2.

I'm just not sure about having a bar between my legs... seems to be the popular design everywhere from playseat to wheel stand; so I guess it's not as awkward as I'm fearing?

Apparently all these stands were designed by women!

Did you preorder one? i see now in USA web shop that it's not available, new shipment to arrive end of January. Guess i should have preodered.
 
If that's true it seems I may get lucky and have mine by my desired date of Feb 4th. đź‘Ť

I re-ordered it when I had my GT2 CS Edition refunded. When I ordered everything seperately, I put that on the order.
 
Got my UPS email today so should arrive on Monday if it follows the same pattern as my GT2.

The final piece of my racing setup is a Corbeau Forza office chair. This was ordered from a company in England before Christmas with an estimated delivery of 4-10 days. I phoned before placing the order to confirm it was in stock and there's still no sign of it .... And people think that Fanatec are slow lol.

you got a $300 chair + a $150 stand rather than just getting a $350 cockpit?

I've spent ÂŁ160 on the office chair and ÂŁ100 on the V2. You're right it's not far off a playseat but I think they're really ugly! My geek out room doubles up as my office and I really like the idea of being able to tidy away my racing set up when I'm not using it and pushing the chair back to the desk. From the videos I've seen the playseats and even game pods don't look much more stable than a Rennsport stand and the seat I've ordered is certainly gonna be better than a playseat.
 
I wouldn't get that excited. She told me the same thing Jan 10th and I haven't gotten shipping info.

playseats are ugly... i was referring to the more hardcore alternative: http://www.obutto.com/simracing.html

Really? Nice. I emailed them last night and got a message saying the order will be shipped to: address here. Shipment can take up to one week. Is that what you got as well?

Also, log on to check your account. When I logged on last night, I saw two orders placed for me, one paid and one in processing. I emailed to ask them to cancel the one in processing as I only placed one paypal order.
 
Got an email mine shipped today as well.

Yep, just got a tracking number from UPS. They said the 3rd week of January and it's just passed that so all in all, not bad. Hopefully get it soon. I'll post up pics/reviews/etc once I do. =)
