Fanatec ClubSport DD F1® Esports V2 Bundle now available for €899
The German manufacturer Fanatec is expanding its ClubSport DD bundles with a new, lower-priced bundle consisting of the 12 Newton metre ClubSport DD and the ClubSport Steering Wheel F1® Esports V2, which is also equipped with a QR2 Pro.
Price and availability
Fanatec is offering the bundle at an absolute bargain price. Normally the prices are as follows:
- ClubSport Steering Wheel F1® Esports V2: 219.95€
- QR2 Pro Wheel-Side: 199.95€
- ClubSport DD: 799.95€
Instead of a total of around €1220, the bundle costs just €899.95 (+ shipping), which equates to a significant discount of over 25%. Even if you would normally equip the Formula steering wheel with a regular QR2, you still save so much that the bundle is currently by far the most attractive offer from Fanatec. It is now available directly from stock in both Europe and the USA and will be dispatched within a week.
Fanatec promises fast delivery
Many Simracers will probably still remember Fanatec’s logistics problems around Black Friday. Oversales due to synchronisation problems in the webshop led to long delivery times, some of which extended into April this year and annoyed many customers. According to Fanatec, the outstanding orders have now been fully processed with the exception of individual cases and the currently stated delivery times for stock items are once again being reliably met.
A relatively large backlog had also built up in the area of support enquiries due to the problems, which has now been and is gradually being cleared. An external service provider has now also been brought on board for this purpose and is currently undergoing an extensive onboarding process to familiarise itself fully with the extensive Fanatec ecosystem. Fanatec expects a massive improvement in response times over the next few weeks.
In order to further increase transparency, Fanatec is now publishing regular status reports in the form of housekeeping updates on the website. The link can be found here: https://forum.fanatec.com/categories/blog
