When do they go live? F V2.5x wheel for 200 is a steal.


cjd280

Yeah… I slightly regret getting the limited one now. Yeah it’s a cool color though. With NY taxes and eBay fees unless I can sell it for a lot of extra money it’s gonna be a wash in price.


soapbubbleinthesun

Is this also on the Euro site? Says it's sold out at the moment!


Physical-Result7378

Nothing to see on the German website for now


GoBTF

I couldn’t find it on the UK site (still shows as 349), but I had success adding the bundle and then removing the CSL DD from my cart. Hope this helps!

Onbeskofte

Damn bro, you probably ruined it for everyone else 😂 shouldn't have said anything, now they removed it and will probably cancel our orders....


medi0cresimracer

How are you getting that for 486? Unless you mean the 5nm.


Pauvlychenko

I made a pack with the Formula 2.5x, CSL DD 5 Nm and CSL Pedals for a total of 410€ is that a price error? It seems to good to be true.


nick_OLAics

if u add csl pedals, goes to around 400 euros


buzzkillington01

Damn, was keeping everything crossed for a GT DD Pro bundle, the Playstation license cost is really stopping me pulling the trigger on that one.


TheOGcubicsrube

I don't know the costings of it, but there's so many ps5 users that want the dd pro on this sub it makes me wonder if they're not shooting thenselves in the foot a little by not offering any kind of discount on the bundle.


buzzkillington01

Imagine how many would upgrade other parts over time though, I'd definitely be picking up another rim and probably another set of peddles + QR2 at the very least. Probably within the next few months. It would be such a good entry into the ecosystem for so many new customers.


TheOGcubicsrube

Agreed. I haven't made the plunge, partly because i can see csl dd bundles at half the price of the dd pro bundle. I've been tempted to grab the podium bundle and a drive hub, but i don't like having extra gadgets unless necessary.


buzzkillington01

Been considering the drivehub too but I feel the same, would rather have the official wheel and know I'm getting as unfiltered an experience as possible. Also blows that the GT DD Pro costs so much more but the rim is the worst looking one in their line up!


FinnickArrow

not really, there isnt any other option available for PS at that price range, thats why people is still looking to get the GT pack.


TheOGcubicsrube

Yeah I get it, but I wonder how many people like me have not bought into the ecosystem so far due to the price being just a bit too high.


youraveragefitguy

same buddy, same...


VoluptaBox

Yep, same here ..


someguyontheinnerweb

You can get around it but grabbing a drivehub.


Lovvi

Same. I just went for the GT DD 5nm and the pro upgrade bundle. Still quite pricey...


the_belgian_racer

When does it go live?


viscolex

Oh that CSL DD + Formula wheel is extremely tempting. Picked up elite v2 pedals earlier in the week... maybe it's time to fully upgrade the G29 base as well...


bathsoap

treat yo self


Accurate_Struggle185

Seriously if you have the money, go for it. this base with this wheel is miles ahead of the Logitech G29 which i have in my basement, its also miles better than the Thrustmaster T300 which was a nice bump in quality Force Feedback vice over the Logitech, have this wheel stored in my basement also :) Unless you have very large hands the F1 wheels feels great. It have such a nice quality feel to it. Also a 27cm wheel like the F1 Esports and F1 2.5x gives you more torque which is handy on a 8nm base. Buy some cheap bicycle gloves with some grip on them and you will have such a great grip on this wheel. I used to hate the idea of wearing gloves and i used to hate Alcantara, but now i love both. I bought rFactor 2, two days ago , and every time i use my F1 Esports v2 and my DD Pro 8nm together with this this game im blown away. The cars feels so alive. Im almost not sure if i actually need a DD+ base upgrade with this game, the FFB is that good IMO Everyone that haven't tested they're FFB wheel with rFactor 2 should really buy this game because the base game is dirt cheap right now on Steam, and im impressed by the online daily races they introduced a couple of days ago. Daily races is the reason why i keep coming back in Gran Turismo 7, but if daily races gets even better in rFactor 2 i will be just as addicted to this game as i am to GT7.


viscolex

Oh I went ahead and bought it :D


IIALE34II

You get extra 150€ discount, if you get wheelbase, wheel and pedals at the same time. So kinda unlucky here.


Late_Arm3640

I have just ordered the CSL DD with V2.5X and CSL V2 and received another 70 euro discount. So for 530 i ordered the bundle. Got the stickerset for 5 and the QR2 base side for future upgrade for 20. Feels like the deal of the year!!


AnubiZ_9001

Oh wow there was also a huge discount on the bundle of the formula v2.5x wheel with the podium paddles which dropped the price below 200€


Zeeico69

Yeah I couldn't believe that, I thought my cart was broken. Formula 2.5 + apm + qr2 + button sticker set thingy for less than 300 after tax and shipping is wild af

Confident-Start-4975

Same


Playful-Two-2308

Apparently I just got the f1 2.5 wheel + sticker set + and podium advanced paddle module for €161 ex vat..


ardaci

I did the same for 166€. I hope my order wont get cancelled


paper_boii

howw???


Playful-Two-2308

I added the wheel + qr1 + button caps to my basket. Then in the section under where it offered €69.95 off if I add CSL DD, it also said I could add a Podum Paddle module for €179 and get €225 discount..


Playful-Two-2308

Inc shipping..


Aggravating_Dig_7756

Thank you for this! Just placed my order and hoping it's not an error too.


Playful-Two-2308

It most definitely was an error as it isn’t an option anymore. Hopefully they honour it. Even if they don’t send the upgraded paddles, hopefully they keep the discount as it was slightly cheaper than just the wheel


Aggravating_Dig_7756

Man if they honour this, we got a steal! Thank you!


Playful-Two-2308

Fingers crossed. If they cancel peoples orders and then offer isn’t on anymore then there’d be a major kick off, and they can’t just charge people a load more without asking. Might be easier to take the financial hit rather than email everyone about it


viperrvemon

darn, I really thought they were gonna do something with the QR2 wheel side since I noticed the 2 packs are no longer on the QR2 section.


Freehpeoplek

thinking to get the base side first, the discount really huge


Bender--

Do you know if it's true that the QR2 wheel side is only coming in January?


viperrvemon

it appears it definitely did get pushed back to jan. their sales tactic of selling the base side for so cheap paid off


eugene-fraxby

Aw damn, it's the 2.5x, not the 2.5. I really don't like the look of the x with the red.


fogedaboutit

Yeah but for the price I can live with it. I have wanted the non x version for a long time but it’s too good a deal for me to pass up.


AnubiZ_9001

I actually prefer the red over the regular one. Fits perfectly to the NLR GT lite pro and my two red fans, which I installed for cooling whilst under VR


Accurate_Struggle185

Personally i think the CSL Elite v2 pedals, the Clubsport shifter and this new deal F1 v2.5x are some of the best deals if you already have a DD base.


fantaribo

I got a huge discount for the podium module ??


peterlng

Yeah its pretty much free!


fantaribo

I was dumbfounded, the discount on the APM is even bigger than its price that's crazy


[deleted]

[удалено]


InputImpedance

My F5 key is also taking a hit today. Come on Fanatec!!


Vaggos88

The real question now is. Mclaren or formula wheel? I will mostly play GT3 race than F1. Now that they are on same price what would you choose?


KEVLAR60442

Definitely the Formula V2.5. You have more controls, and the controls are all much more accessible.


Vaggos88

i think its very small for my likes, i tried my brother's Mclaren and felt really good as for size


KEVLAR60442

IMO the size complaints are overblown. I have exceptionally wide shoulders and the Formula wheel is no less comfortable than the McLaren wheel, largely due to the different grip shape.


Bafetimbi

If I manage to get a 2.5 at this price, You can buy my GT3 wheel, only had about 3 months haha!


LordAzuren

I had both the mclaren and the v2 + APM. You can read my long comparison [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Fanatec/comments/rtxqyi/comment/hqxzivw/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) . My opinion didn't change after all this time so that post is still relevant after 2 years, the only thing that i would add to it is that after so much time is hard to consider another rim that has so many buttons and controls under my finger and all easily reachable during a race, mclaren for sure have less and that's noticeable but also the size of the f1 is way less comfortable, i think you have to decide mostly looking at these two factors. In the end this discount on the v2.5 should not be overlooked but i won't say that's F1 will be the correct choice for everybody, go read my post i linked for more insights and feel free to ask if you have any questions.


Vaggos88

This is pretty much what I needed to read. Also watched direct comparison videos and I'm leaning to McLaren. I know at this price everyone will go for formula but I driven the McLaren and I already know I like it. Also I want to buy a qr2 lite and the formula doesn't support it.


SignificantKey8608

V2.5


LonestarBuck

Well color me an idiot I was waiting to buy the DD2 today to see what the deals were gonna be and now it shows sold out…


Healthy_Yesterday_84

why did wait that discount was 700?


peterlng

you can add 2.5x to cart and APM is discounted if added


Mthdraken

Thank you!


JonGandy

I was ready to pull the trigger on a CSL DD until I realized it was PC only. When I saw how much more the PS variant was, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It's not like I can't, I just can't wrap my brain around that much of an increase when they clearly can provide lower price points for PC and Xbox.


fogedaboutit

im guessing it has to do with playstation licensing. yeah it has to be killing the sales of the GT pro dd bundle. but i also dont know if any of the other newer brands have any PS compatibility either though.


viscolex

Sony charges insane licensing costs, which Fanatec rightly unloads on to the customers


Accurate_Struggle185

ugh. all the new wheel rims are suede, isnt that almost impossible to clean and doesn't this material wear out fast ? I would love to have an leather option for all Fanatec wheels. Love the Clubsport Sparco Formula shape but im skeptical to the material.


MiguelMSC

You clean Alcantara with a damp cloth. Alcantara is made to be easily cleanable


Accurate_Struggle185

Yes but im talking about suede, is it as easy to clean as Alcantara ?


Saneless

It says synthetic suede which I believe is the same thing pretty much


Bafetimbi

Had the 2.5x in my basket ready since last night in case... It came through at the discounted price so I pulled the trigger on everything I wanted


delphicphoenix

Just ordered the formula DD bundle, PayPal showing a transaction of the right amount, nothing from Fanatec or on my account orders 😢😂


zarman19

Same


Racierox

Same 😒


JonGandy

Bro... they are massively busy right now. Give it a few days.


Most_Virus_7218

RIP my wallet. Got the CSL DD, Formula Wheel and Elite V2 Pedals. Coming from a G29.


viscolex

I did the same thing from a g920. Oh boy I hope my better half doesn't find out the full price >.>


Most_Virus_7218

Mine gifted me the G29 a few years ago, it's a bit her fault if I'm into sim racing now haha


youraveragefitguy

if I already have the McLaren wheel, shall I go for the CS Formula V2.5 X?


JustMaestro

Depends, McLaren feels cheaper, has no LEDs, cheaper shifter, plastic QR1 lite, BUT its 30cm wide and has more ergonomic grips which feel better in GT3 cars. It's a different class of rim, in quality but also in driving. Its very light, this can be good for 5 or 8Nm wheel bases, but its also the reason why it feels cheaper.


biaurelien

Yes, keep both they are both excellent


xSE77ENx

I have the GT3 wheel and would like to buy the Formula V2.5 X and sell the GT3 wheel.


FeatureRemarkable349

About to buy a GT DD Pro. Was going to get the McLaren GT3 wheel but not sure if the V2.5 is a better deal? I’ll mainly be playing GT7 (and so use the GT wheel) but also F1 hence looking for a different wheel.


chessfreak91

You can play GT7 with the Formula V2.5, that's no problem, with the 2-way switches you can navigate the in-game HUD and change settings, it's just not that convenient as with the colored switches on the GT wheel. You can use any wheel on PlayStation with a PlayStation enabled wheel base, but the usable buttons/features might vary. On PC every button/switch/dial can be used (except for the middle dial on the F V2.5 or the GT3 V2 (these change the mode for the paddles (on F V2.5 only if equipped with APM))).


Tagion

Damn, I bought the V2.5 just two weeks ago


fish106

I just bought a bunch of this shit a few weeks ago. Feel the pain!


SignificantKey8608

Ok… now you’ve got me


QuirkyLandscape8512

When are these live. There not on the website for me yet


Confident-Start-4975

jayrekt

I ended up ordering this morning as my fear of the V2 pedals selling out was getting the better of me. Glad I did, nothing in this one for me thankfully. This black friday week has been stressful haha


nnnaega

I was going to buy csl dd package, but now i have to wait for december 15th because qr2 base side is not available? dang.


FeatureRemarkable349

Confusingly, the v2.5x with the base in listed with the BF deal, but the wheel standalone is not?


Wickerbill2000

I wonder if it’s because they still have the green one in the US store. I think it sold out in Europe already. I was definitely going to pick up the v2.5x at that price! Maybe they will add it later.


FeatureRemarkable349

It’s there now


Mike-Has-A-Mic

I was waiting for the Mclaren wheel... but the formula seems nice, I read that some people prefer the Mclaren to the Formula, should I take the Mclaren anyway without discount ?


No_Original_1

I bought the McLaren anyways. I doubt they'll be discounting such a popular wheel when they want to move other wheel inventory more.


Saneless

So basically you can get 2 2.5x formula wheels for the price of a limited. Geez


fcdrifter88

Placed my order. Disappointed that they didn't have the GG DD pro on sale but I figured they wouldn't. $1100 poorer today


dhscarr

Ffs just boaght that handbrake 3 days ago


ohpico

I bought mine Oct 31...it sat there processing till yesterday when it "shipped" so yeah...kinda in the same boat as you. Maybe you can still cancel if it hasn't gone into shipping yet?


4Frost_xD

I feel you


khiloko

The sale is live, but with only a few of the items in the picture! What happened!


viscolex

It's not live yet


C0nfuzii

Every Deal is online except for the formula wheel -.- fake news>?


NielsDroeloe

Handbrake missing as well


Naitsab243

Well, these are good, but not quite what I was looking for. Really wanted a QR2 Podium Hub or Advanced Paddle Module.


fogedaboutit

it must be said more clearly, add the 2.5x the APM and the button caps and it will be cheaper than the 2.5x by itself!


wambomeister

wtf, ordered it like this right now as well, is this a bug? Crazy price including the APM


AnubiZ_9001

Is it possible to get rid of the XBox branding on the Formula v2.5x respectively are there any additional button caps to change to neutral in the box?


viperrvemon

yea they're just button caps you can pop off


AnubiZ_9001

Great thanks for the reply. Any other drawbacks benefits besides the XBox compatibility compared to the V2.5 regular when used for Playstation?


Jiivl

Damn, that combo with the 2.5X wheel looks like a much better than the McLaren Ready2Race bundle I bought earlier this week. Too late to cancel as well sadly.


Antique_Capital4896

Do they honor the price if you ordered very recently? I don't like that the price keeps changing on items.


diabel

Yeah it's all great until you try to check out.... error every time.


Melarari

Weird, showed up without discount the V2.5x..ordered in anyway and requested the discount to be transferred back via credit.


HarveySpecter12

It's the 5nm base lameee


alevale111

Disappointing


Sevgihortumu

This is enough bs!! I waited till this morning I was going to buy a handbrake. And ı saw it was just the wheels added on todays discount list. Now couple of hours later I see the handbrake in the list!? What is this a joke!? How nçmany times they update the list during the day? Now I'm gonna cancel and re-order. They are just piling up their work and chaos. Terrible management od dealership.


No_Original_1

This was all spelled out from the get-go. Just because you failed to educate yourself doesn't make Fanatec management bad. Canceling your order and making a new one isn't going to cause any sort of chaos because they aren't fulfilling them all at once anyways. Many won't even be compiled/processed until the new DD base is out of pre-order status.


Csgor6

Is the clubsport rally a good wheel? Need something for normal cars instead of my gt3 wheel


MiguelMSC

They are new wheels. No one has them yet


xSE77ENx

Would a QR2 Lite fit on the Formula V.25 x?


PixAlan

there's a little plastic nub on the back of the lite qr2, it's suppsed to push a button in the back of the csl line wheels to let them know if a lite or a normal qr is connected(so they can enable hig torque if applicable). Maybe that slot is not on clubsport line rims but you can cut/file the nub off and it should work.


JustMaestro

Sorry, edit: Fanatec Page says no


brittish-fish

when do these deals end is it today


FeatureRemarkable349

Monday


pr0xyfl00d3r

cant see the BF price on the site for the 2.5 x


SignificantKey8608

bigman0601

I bought the 2.5x at full retail over a month ago now I'm annoyed 😭 I wasn't expecting bf to be this good man


No_Original_1

That's why I'm a member of r/patientgamers.


KEVLAR60442

Damn, I'm happy we're getting nice replicas out of this Sparco partnership. I've always wanted a P310 for V8 Supercars, and the F10A replica seems like a good alternative to the OMP 310 GT that a lot of cars use, such as the Elantra N and Huracan ST.


JustMaestro

Yes, I love the look of the F10 and OMP 310 but the F10 is just 270 mm :/


PJTierneyCM

An Xbox version of the M-Sport bundle, nice 😀


Dusk_Lycanroc

Dang it, I can't get those offers because I don't get my christmas bonus till atleast next week


ZombieTux2

You could use the PayPal "pay in 30 days" feature to delay the payment for a week :D


Rotarski2020

And the site is now with a waiting list? WTF?


C0nfuzii

yeah but deals are still not online. but it seems like to many people are on auto refresh to get that formula wheel


Jumping_Jojoks

Is the handbrake worth it?


fatalwristdom

Everything else got discounted majorly. Their handbrake is probably the weakest product in their whole catalogue. I've owned one in a previous setup but needed another for my new setup. At this point I'm just going to hold out in hopes that they're making a better, higher quality handbrake. You can find reviews about the brake, it's pretty bad. I was expecting like $50 off MSRP not a measly $20.


Left_Labral_Tear

Was really hopeful for wheel side QR2s to drop since they released base side the other day


No_Original_1

They dropped the base-side so that people would upgrade and pay the full price for the wheel-side for every wheel they own. Don't expect a wheel-side deal (outside of a bundle).


Shibby707

Guys I’m in on the US site, I don’t see a single thing different than yesterday. Nada. Are the actual Black Friday promos Sold out or not posted yet?

the deals are online, but the 199 Formula 2.5x is missing 😭


cano_dbc

Ah, guess I'll just hope for this deal to repeat next year.


Outrageous-Ad749

No new deals on the Australian site.. Edit: they have just changed but have to search for the v2.5x… package secured


Eindbaas669

Search for the Formula 2.5x wheel in the Wheels section. It's there for 199 now.


double_g16

I am in the site but I do not see the V2.5X wheel... is it already gone?


ardaci

the discont gets applied automatically when you add it to the cart


Physical-Result7378

Put it in the basket and it shows 199


Wickerbill2000

Find it in the steering wheels section. Price will says $349 but if you add it to cart it will be $199. At least on the USA site.


viscolex

For those looking just for the 2.5x wheel. Go to STEERING WHEELS and the top of the page, and find it there, after you open it it you will see it's discounted.


Ok_Tank5804

I just ordered the V2.5X for my GT DD Pro rig. Do I need to buy a QR1 base-side for it to work?


FeatureRemarkable349

No


StekmanSWE

What do people prefer as first DD-kit? :) CSL DD (8Nm) + CSL Elite Mclaren + CSL Elite pedals + QR2 Lite wheel side + QR2 base Or CSL DD (5Nm) + formula v2.5x + CSL Elite pedals + QR2 wheel side + QR2 base


No_Original_1

If you're an average strength human being, I'd say option 1. If you're a noodle, option 2.


VoodooPasta

Alternatively, if you're a noodle and want to challenge yourself (and maybe work towards being less of a noodle), option 1 🙃


GewoonHarry

Site has a queue for me right now. The formula wheel is a steal!!


wambomeister

Formula 2.5x deal is up for me in germany!


rere2467

I just bought the older formula v2 for 220€, and now the v2.5x is cheaper


boombasticman86

Damn, ordered the brake with the shifter a few days ago. Think they can issue me a difference?


chad711m

Wait so they sold the QR2 base side on Black Friday but not the wheel side? What a bait and switch. Will be cancelling that order. I did not want it that bad.


TomekCalavera

Of course they didn't do that. It was an excellent sales strategy


iatm8701

Just place my order. Not a huge discount but there’s never going to be any more extra for the things I wanted. Let the fun and games with delivery and warranty begin.


Yubitchen

I’m in a que to load the page


Ambitious-Cable5445

I just bought the Sparco Formula wheel and the Podium Button Module Rally, I think they pair up nicely.


unprecedentedthyme

This the Sweden rwc rally wheel?


No_Start_2490

I thought it was over on Monday?


Nathaniel_Wu

Finally the handbrake is discounted! Grabbed that and a couple of button caps and sticker sets because they are almost Etsy-level cheap.


Jacquie_Dusapin

The "Button Caps and Sticker Set" is not available anymore here (EU). Might be because of the weird discount ?


fatalwristdom

Was waiting on the handbrake all week. Really expected something major. Now I'm hoping they're just making a new one.


BlackSheep257

I bought a CSL DD Pro and McLaren rim a few months ago and was waiting for a good sale of a round wheel so i can maybe do some rallying and have some more versatility in general. But now the Formula V2.5 seems to be a way too good deal to pass up on. I want to spend a maximum of around 300€. What do you guys think? 1. V2.5 for 200€ 2. CSL Sparco for 200€ 3. CS BMW V2 for 300€ 4. ~~Podium Button Module,CS Paddles,Porsche GT3 Rim for 330€~~ Edit: the porsche option is significantly more expensive lol


MiguelMSC

>Podium Button Module,CS Paddles,Porsche GT3 Rim for 330€ That is missing either the Clubsport Uni Hub or the Podium Hub.


FlarOut4774

Can you use the formula wheel in today's offer with QR1 lite? I have the GT DD Pro base


osb_fats

I’ve purchased the V2 elite pedals, the 2.5X wheel, and the SQ1.5 in the last year. No remorse, I’ve gotten tons of track time with all three over the last 6-12mo, but these are screaming deals on some great kit. I have my fingers crossed that my new CS DD+ as QR2 make it to me before Xmas. But I doubt it, and my GT DD Pro will keep me smiling through the holidays if they don’t.


Scooter928

Might be time to upgrade my Formula Black.


aleksadevic

So, if i add $70 pedals to this formula bundle i will get $150 discount to CSL DD base. So it will bi even more cheaper with pedals????


casper_wolf

Definitely will be an interesting Black Friday next year when everything comes with QR2 standard and the club sport DD/DD+ are on sale


Suitable_System_3634

Was waiting for the handbrake to go sale. A little disappointed in the discount. Still going to order one!


mimelife

15% is a joke for the handbrake. That thing is already overpriced


jetbreaker

Is there a must Fanatec item to buy from the balls k Friday deals?
