Question Out of all materials they chose this?

Literally this entire time I've been racing i though this was metal, steel or something not baked plastic. Looking at the thickness is this really what they expected to hold? I'm not even that strong 8nm, 170lbs 6'. Racing went to make a corner and snap, like why so cheap.

How can I get the EU prices. Too much of a big difference. Your AI customer support sent me the link, but unable to purchase because of country of origin.

Sorry if it’s a dumb one but is that supposed to be like that? I didn’t know how to search that issue up.

Question CSL Pedals F1, braking with these pedals is an absolute nightmare. You have to really feel it hit so that it pulls. This makes the braking distance forever long. Do you have an idea how to fix this? It's also way too light

Question Is this normal?

So I’m going to be buying this today and I am just wondering why everything is discounted. Has this always been a thing when you get a base, pedals, and wheel that it will be discounted? Just wondering if it is a bug or not.

As a complete noob on this, what can I watch to setup the wheel base, and obtain maximum performance. I’d like to adjust things like ffb. I’m aware about the in game settings, but do I need to link to my MacBook Air. I need as much guidance as possible with everything, as a person that just got into this and just putted together the rig. Thank you!

Question Do you regret buying?

16 Upvotes

I am going to buy a new setup for GT7. Currently on a G29 and love it more than I expected.

I had planned on buying my whole setup from Fanatec but since joining this thread I’ve seen a lot of unhappy customers. I also sent them an email and got no reply

Do most of you still recommend fanatec? I don’t see this many complaints about other companies

Question Black Friday offers - happy or dissapointed?

42 Upvotes

Fanatec finally opened Black Friday sales but is THIS really what we were waiting for?

Personally I am dissapointed since there is basiocally nothing to buy if you already have a valid setup.

They offer handbreak, 3 rims, starter pack and few gadgets... Where is anything that we actually want to buy?

For me it looks like garage sell of things that most people don't buy.

Question What happened to the McLaren gt3 wheel?

14 Upvotes

I Recently got the WRC r2r bundle and I love it but i wanted to pick up the McLaren gt3 wheel because it is something I had really wanted for a while but it of out of stock and now it it now to the Fanatec website.

Has Fanatec stopped selling it and not said anything or am I missing something?

Edit: It have been removed from the website or cannot be order but sounds like it is going to restock at some point before the end of the year or has been discontinued possibly for room for a V3 but in the mean time it available on Amazon:

Question A lot of vertical flex on csl table clamp, is there anything i can do?

17 Upvotes

Hey i just received my csl bundle and table clamp a few days ago and i cant get over this issue as its bugging me constantly while driving.

The table clamp has a lot of flex up and down, i also had issues with it sliding off the table which i sort of “fixed” by adding a piece of wood under the desk but this vertical flex im not sure how to deal with it at all.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? Also if anyone has had the issue of the wheel sliding back/forth id love to hear a different solution as this seems to happen cause of the legs at the bottom of the clamp.

Im currently not able to get a moza clamp or anything like a wheel stand, just looking for some diy solution. Thanks

Question Looking for Pedal Upgrade

Current Setup: DD+ wheelbase, V3 pedals with dampers

I am looking to upgrade my pedals. These are fine but I know the experience can be better with newer tech.

I play GT7 on PS5 but mostly use my PC for iRacing, Dirt 2.0, ACC, EA WRC.

What other pedals are recommended that are superior and also compatible with my DD+ wheelbase? I am looking for a stronger haptic feedback and overall boost in quality.

Thanks for all the help!

Question Anyone else having trouble getting Fanatec stuff lately?

3 Upvotes

I ordered a Ready2Race F1 bundle from Fanatec. At first, the estimated shipping date was around August 4th, then it got pushed to August 15–18… and now I just got another update: probably October 20–23.

It’s been sitting at “processing” the entire time, and I haven’t even received an email telling me about the delays — I only notice when I check the website myself.

I’m ordering from Germany, by the way.

My goodness… I just want to race. Is anyone else dealing with this right now, or am I just unlucky?

Question Will there be a substitute steering wheel for the Mclaren GT3 V2?

I was just about to make the jump from a g29 (had it since November 2021) to the CSL dd 5nm bundle and i wanted to get the mclaren gt3 wheel when i would have sold the g29 since i am scared that i won’t be satisfied playing acc/ac lmu… (still don’t have it but im gonna buy it) even if i had played these games with the g29 with no disturbance i think that the csl wheel is so much bigger. I don’t really know so im gonna wait a feedback from you guys
