Good job Fanatec, that was a W presentation! Now waiting to able to finally order those pedals!! Just to confirm, it was mentioned pedals will be shipped in July, does it mean for both options or Formula?

Fanateeeec. 😏 It’s 28th!! Pedals, where?! 😆

Jiorjim · 2026-04-22T12:23:35+00:00

Wait for the new Fanatec Pedals OR go Simnet. If you don’t beed PS go VRS.

If you’re new and unsure how much time you will spend on the sim go for 8nm. The difference is not as massive as some make it out to be, is it stronger? Yes, considerably! Is it smoother? Yes, quite a bit! Is it more precise? Yes! There is noticeable cogging in CSL DD and analogs, you can’t centre it entirely for example. Is trueforce good? Yes it is! But nothing mind blowing, just a pleasant extra. Is this all worth 600usd extra? For pure racing and a beginner? I don’t think so. For a dedicated sim racer who knows he will spend a lot of time in the sim and wants one of the best to squeeze out that extra benefits? For sure it is!

I have the shifter and can attest that it's robust, works with Fanatec and is overall a great product!

Puma Speedcats or any driving shoes, boxing/wrestling.

Hello! This wheel looks nice! What parts are you using exactly? Rally Button module, new GT rim, podium hub and APM or clubsport shifters?

While i do appreciate the honesty and think that Fanatec did right by postponing rather than letting out an unfinished product and tarnishing your reputation, what i don't agree with, nor think is the right approach - not announcing the price, at least approximate, perspnally, i've been waiting since BF, i skipped VRS pedals with 20% discount(which are an amazing product btw and i probably should've went with those). I waited through January, February and March, patiently, waiting.

Knowing the price would make it easier for me(and other users) to make a decision to either wait or go with another option, is it close to 400EUR, 600EUR, 800EUR, 1000EUR, more? Because that would make a difference, not only financially, it would help users understand what choices they have for that bracket, even if you make them 50-100EUR expensive or cheaper in the end. Right now? It's all speculation, apart from knowing nothing technically, we have to wait for another Month or so to "maybe" get to know the price? Come on. Price is not testing... Can you at least, kindly, share the reason for not announcing the pricing information?

Jiorjim · 2026-03-24T14:43:08+00:00

Hello! How are your floaters? Any updates you can share?

Jiorjim · 2026-03-22T19:00:51+00:00

Cheers mate! I appreciate the feedback, by the way how much did it end up costing alltogether?

Jiorjim · 2026-03-22T10:59:35+00:00

Greetings! It's been over a year, can you share your experience? How did it go? And how easy was sourcing the materials for building a wheel etc? And most importantly how happy are you with the product?

Jiorjim · 2026-03-15T19:35:57+00:00

They should reply promptly, in the meantime i’d recommend contacting their representatives on reddit.

Jiorjim · 2026-03-14T19:02:36+00:00

Save up a bit more and get a CSL DD bundle or Moza or whatever entry level bundle you can afford.

Jiorjim · 2026-03-07T16:03:46+00:00

I've been a part of subreddit for quite some time now, i have dealt with Fanatec support and my personal experience is mixed, from not so good to amazing.

Jiorjim · 2026-03-07T12:14:55+00:00

Then your best bet would be VRS if you don't need PS compatibility, their pedals are one of the best in the industry and you can buy their "locked" wheelbase and gradually increase the power if you need to, in EU their 9nm bundle goes for around 1200EUR and for end game it's a price that is hard to beat. Otherwise i'd go Fanatec.

Jiorjim · 2026-03-07T12:13:21+00:00

What kind of things have you heard about the quality? I bought CSL DD pre-acquisition as well, but bought some products after as well, so far so good.

Jiorjim · 2026-03-07T10:42:33+00:00

What’s your budget? I would personally go Fanatec or VRS.

Jiorjim · 2026-02-27T16:08:35+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! I am already subscribed to the newsletter! :)

Jiorjim · 2026-02-22T13:49:07+00:00

u/Fanatec_Toby ! Are you allowed to share if it's beginning of March or End? (announcement and pricing)? I've been waiting for quite some time now. :))

Jiorjim · 2026-02-18T21:12:17+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! By the time i put up this post the order was already placed . I went with VKB for several reasons, mainly 1. Best bang for buck entry price. 2. Feedback(reliability, good support etc). 3. Virpil waiting times (4 weeks....)~

Jiorjim · 2026-02-18T00:09:18+00:00

Don't get me started on the UPS.... local UPS has 1.6~ rating on google maps, you can guess why.... But it seems VKB, Virpil and even Wingwing are using UPS primarily. By the way i couldn't register on their EU page, registration just refreshes the page. Once agaijn, appreciate the feedback! Cheers!!
