Fanatec Black Friday (3 Viewers)

[Puffpirat]

Hey guys Black Friday is coming up and Fanatec already started teasing.

First thing, a new steering wheel. It seems to read CSL in one of the snippets, and looks like something McLaren, maybe a 650S GT3 steering wheel.

And the first offer, the inverted CSPs for the price of the regular ones

And the second one

$299.95
349,95€ (incl. VAT)
499.95AUD (incl. tax)
43,900JPY (incl. tax)

Like the idea of the universal hub, but want the old one like Falcon's got not the Xbox looking one they sell now, the free wheel is good idea though.
As for the new wheel, could be interesting, maybe it will also turn out to be the default for the DD base, hope it's a new GT3 rim which is lighter than the GT2 rim, that one is just to heavy for the FFB.

I am eagerly waiting for a CSL Elite Base + Wheel bundle on sale...

 

[Invincible]

On Friday 9:00 o'clock I'll be on the fanatec site, ordering the inverted V3's

hoping the formula rim is in the sale, and I might go for that universal hub deal. I wonder how much I'll get for the BMW rim.

 

[Puffpirat]

I doubt the formula rim will be on sale as it’s one of the bestsellers. But the Uni Hub deal looks good, if only it would be the old design, not the Xbox one.

Tempted to preorder the McLaren wheel tough

 

[Puffpirat]

And there we go, offer 3

People are still trying to sell them for silly prices 2nd hand, but don't know if they succeed, I like the look of the GT2, but it does need to go on a diet, but for a DD base it would be fine I would imagine, a Mclaren rim would be nice, but I'd rather have a round or D shape rim, am I like Puff on the Hub.

 

[Puffpirat]

I like the flat style rim for the hub, the one on the right in the background of the offer pic. I guess you mean the second from the left? That’s nice too

 

[Gopher04]

Nope the clubsport rim, flat top and bottom, but the Fanatec one is small more suitable for formula cars, so I would buy the rim elsewhere, but the hub is stopping me, so I might end up having to buy the Porsche rim as the weight is normal.

 

[Puffpirat]

I was only talking about the available rims for the hub. I like this one:

Just checked, wow the Porsche rim is 430g lighter than the BMW rim. Didn’t realize it was this much. I still like the BMW rim for heavier and slower cars, I use it for the Cayman GT4 for example.

 

[Invincible]

Ach, I wished deal no. 3 was without the useless non-loadcell CSL pedals. Without those for 269€ for the base and the wheel would be an awesome deal
What puzzles me though, it states the "Elite" version, yet the wheel in the picture is the normal P1,not the elite version with the lighter Alcantara rim, If I'm not mistaken

 

[Dutchtastic]

Why couldn't my stuff break a bit later?
All these discounts are amazing

It references this set and only means elite wheel base

Still a great deal, saving 200€. Even if you don't need the pedals you still save 120€

The alcantara rim is 80€ more expensive than the regular one.

 

[Invincible]

I know it's a great deal and I could sell the pedals for 70 Euro...but... dunno. Still would've preferred the PS4 version. The base is said to be slightly (although nearly unnoticeably) better and the rim is also with leather and Alcantara and lighter too. Oh and I have a PS4 pro, not an Xbox.

 

[Puffpirat]

Ah ok, yeah people on the Fanatec forum complain why there is so much Xbox love.

 

[Invincible]

Most likely because it's a slightly inferior bundle (wheel and base) compared to the PS4 one and they rather sell those which aren't selling that well at the normal prices...

Hmm that pic is identical to this one on this thread.
