After a very indifferent black friday, Fanatec is doing two excellent deals for the runup to Christmas:

  • Free shipping on all orders.This is a major pain point with Fanatec! UPDATE: The free shipping expires today (15th sorry - I just caught this in the detail).

  • ALL WHEEL bundles have the option of a full metal QR2. This is everything from the cheapest CSL P1 V2 (https://fanatec.com/au-en/steering-wheels/csl-steering-wheel…) up to the most expensive batshit bananas Bentley wheel (and to be fair, this comes with the premium QR2 already). Extremely worthwhile if you are in the market for a new wheel and are in the QR2 ecosystem. I switched from QR1 at the start of the year, and I've been extremely happy with the change (but not the price - this is better!).

    Sadly, if you just want the adapters, even with reductions, they remain extortionate at $90/$120 for the base and wheelside.

  • Also available are 3 x QR2 wall mounts for $40. (I'm in the market for one of these if anyone in Hobart wants to split a pack). With free shipping, these are cheaper per unit than the Ebay 3D prints, and look to be dramatically better materials.

Goes off to grumble about ordering a new wheel just before the free shipping and wall mounts dropped. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

      A steering wheel? Not sure if its a real one of for gaming…

      • itsTricky83 on 15/12/2024 - 13:54

        Yeah Fanatec make Sim Racing Hardware for gaming/simulation.

    Unfortunately the Fanatec AU site is failing under the load of their recent promos.

    The main site is served via Cloudflare so works fine, but as soon as you login (or create an account) for checkout, it times out - it's been like this for days.

  • itsTricky83 on 15/12/2024 - 13:26

    I'm in Hobart and considering buying a pack of those QR2 wall mounts. But I might end up needing all 3 by the end of Christmas the way things are going with my impulse buys.

    If only they could sort out their CloudFlare Bad Gateway issues being caused by their Christmas Snowball Hunt promotion. Won't let me log into my account no matter what I do (differing PC's, differing networks, clearing browser cache, restarting computers, restarting routers). Argh!
    They need to better tune their CloudFlare rules.

      It won't be Cloudflare, it'll be the actual Fanatec-end servers that are overloaded. All the cached pages served by Cloudflare are fine.

      • itsTricky83 on 15/12/2024 - 14:23

        Yeah you're probs right. Oddly enough I am able to create new accounts to finish my orders, but can't use pre-existing accounts. So now I have 3 accounts from 3 seperate orders over the last 3 days (claiming the 60% one off coupons).

        • Carrera1963 on 15/12/2024 - 15:49

          You got 3 of the 60% off coupons? FFS

          I found 2 of them very early on but couldn’t login to purchase

          • itsTricky83 on 15/12/2024 - 16:13

            @Carrera1963: Yeah found 3, gave one to a mate and used the other 2. I kinda feel like I was extremely lucky and made up for all the other easter-egg/snowball hunts I have failed at over the years.
            I haven't found todays code. I am wondering if it hasn't been published yet.

            • Carrera1963 on 15/12/2024 - 18:24

              @itsTricky83: I've got a code that was either yesterday or today's, PM me and I'll share it (as I can't seem to login to use it anyway!)

  • nomoneynoproblems on 15/12/2024 - 14:42

    So to upgrade I’ll need 1 base and 3 wheel side. Is it even worth the upgrade?

      Your user name suggests you know the answer.

    • itsTricky83 on 15/12/2024 - 14:45

      Yes, but consider Simube replicas instead of Fanatec if you want to save some money! Although be mindful of Simube US based pricing.

  • Pawski on 15/12/2024 - 15:32

    Didn't Fanatec file for bankruptcy?

      Yup. The CEO flailed around trying numerous things to keep it afloat, failed miserably and Corsair took the lot a couple of months ago (and if I understand how it played out, the original stock holders would have done much better under an earlier Corsair offer that the CEO blocked). Bloody stupid shenanigans and took far too long.

      Things seem to be getting steadily better with Corsair. Improved delivery times, sales that don't break their entire supply chain, and odd good things like we see with this (admittedly small) sale event. It made me confident enough to do a wheel upgrade a week ago.

      There are also a couple of corsair reps on the Fanatec reddit, so they are paying a bit of attention to what they have bought.

      I'm also hopeful we are going to see tighter integration between elgato stream decks and fanatec kit - the stream decks are pretty well AIO button boxes.

        Good to hear they are getting back on track under Corsair.

        Fanatec were the start of a positive change with sim racing hardware, before them you the only real options for most people were one of the entry level wheels from Logitech or Thrustmaster, Fanatec kicked off the mid range gear which now has plenty of competition. My GT3 RS v2 wheel was a massive upgrade from the G25 at the time. Still use CSP's but run a Moza wheel now.
