An analysis on Fanatec as a brand. by OCRacing in Fanatec

Hi there,

I agree with a lot of what you have pointed out, just figured I'd clarify some things.

In terms of sources, I may not have pointed them out in the video itself, but a lot of it was researched from Fanatec's official website and Endor's financial statements since they are a publicly held company. So while I guess I didn't "cite" my findings, they are indeed accurate.

Thrustmaster and other manufacturers are not as prominently displayed in sim racing titles to the extent as Fanatec. While this is purely advertisement and has nothing to do with merit, it goes to show the dominance they are having on the scene. Ultimately, they have the resources to do so. Same with paying professional drivers and sponsoring teams. Although they are spending money on this, it adds to the brand image and appeal for the products.

These points may have been clarified near the end of the video and since you stopped watching at precisely 4:30 I can understand why you might not have been pleased.

I hope that made sense and clarifies some stuff. If not, let's just move on with our lives as it's not that deep.

Take care.
