When will the Fanatec Black Friday 2024 deals go live?

Fanatec has announced all of its Black Friday deals for 2024, and the start time for their deals and discounts to go live is Tuesday the 26th November. New deals will go live each day, up until Monday 2nd December, when all deals will stop.

In some years, Fanatec hasn’t announced their Black Friday deals until the Friday itself, and then revealed all deals in one go. This approach has caused some issues with website stability, or difficulty in securing the deal you are after.

How to best navigate the Fanatec website during Black Friday, and will the website go down?

Typically, Fanatec has always had issues with its website stability around the time of Black Friday or any other big product launch. We have already seen that happen recently when the QR2 quick release was announced. The site became inaccessible for some for a short period of time while so many customers visited it to be the first to buy the QR2.

Throughout last years Fanatec Black Friday sale event, there wasn’t any downtime on their website. We’re hoping this continues throughout this years Black Friday.

What Fanatec deals were there last year?

Last year, we saw some pretty big Fanatec discounts. Certain products were discounted up to 80%, and racing wheels were discounted as high as 47%.

We saw big discounts on the older Podium DD2 wheel base with the updated QR2 adapter, going on sale for as little as €799.95 which is the cheapest it has ever been available.

You could have nabbed a discount on both the Podium BMW GT2 V2 bundle and the Podium RS bundle with 31% off the total price, costing just €999.95 for a DD1, QR2 and steering wheel. There were also very well priced exclusive bundles that included an F1 2023 special edition steering wheel.

Last year’s Fanatec Black Friday deals included;

• DD2 wheel base and QR2 adapter: €799.95 (47% discount)
• Podium Racing Wheel bundles: €999.95 (31% discount)
• CSL Elite Pedals V2: €199.95 (33% discount)
• ClubSport Shifter: €159.95 (43% discount)
• ClubSport V3 Pedal bundle: €299.95 (40% discount)
• QR2 base-side adapters: From €19.95 (Upto 80% discount)

Our prediction for possible Fanatec Black Friday deals for 2024

Update: All Fanatec Black Friday deals have been announced, however, I’ll leave my predictions below, just to see how close I was.

With Black Friday closing in, and now that Fanatec has secured its future with a buyout from CORSAIR, all eyes are turning to this year’s sale. Our predictions for the products that will be included in the Fanatec Black Friday 2024 sale include some older racing wheels, cockpits, pedals and exclusive bundles.

The ClubSport DD and DD+ won’t be on sale

With the ClubSport DD and DD+ wheel bases being Fanatec’s newest racing wheel, it is highly unlikely that we will see any discounts on these wheels. Fanatec normally uses Black Friday to discount older products or products that are high in stock. For this reason, I doubt the ClubSport DD or DD+ will go on sale.

There won’t be any Fanatec discount codes over Black Friday

Fanatec doesn’t use discount codes. They never have, and it is almost certain that this trend will continue, and there won’t be any discount codes this November. When shopping Fanatec Black Friday deals, all available deals can be purchased without a discount code, meaning there is no need to look around the internet for any additional codes to try and lower the price even further. You won’t find any.

The GT DD Pro or CSL DD may be discounted

Fanatec has almost completed their switch from the older QR1 to the new QR2 quick release. Most racing wheels and steering wheels come with the QR2 adapter pre-installed, or you have the option to choose the QR2 at checkout.

However, the GT DD Pro is one of the few racing wheels that are still available to buy from Fanatec in 2024 with the QR1 installed. This may be due to Fanatec holding a lot of stock of this product, or of the Gran Turismo DD Pro bundles.

If this is the case, it is highly likely that the GT DD Pro and bundles with the QR1 installed may go on sale during the Fanatec Black Friday 2024 sale. This could be one of the last chances to grab a QR1 racing wheel, so if you are heavily invested in the older QR1 ecosystem, this could be a good opportunity.

DD1 and DD2 wheel bases could be on sale

Both the Podium DD1 and DD2 wheel bases are on their way out. They are being discontinued thanks to the introduction of the ClubSport DD and DD+ which are now Fanatec’s flagship racing wheels.

In some regions either the DD1 or DD2 are already unavailable to buy, however, there are some units left. In last year’s sale we saw the DD2 discounted, so it may be the same again during 2024. Both the DD1 and DD2 are very good racing wheels, and both come with a Fanatec warranty making them excellent options for high-performance direct drive wheels, even in 2024.

Other Fanatec wheels, pedals and cockpits could go on sale

Anything that Fanatec has been selling for a few years could be a prime candidate to go on sale to clear the way for new products in 2025. This includes any of the steering wheels that have been around for a while including the BMW GT2 V2, McLaren GT3 V2 or P1 wheels.

Fanatec also has two load cell pedal sets, the CSL Elite and CSL pedals. Both are very similar, so it could be a possibility that one of these pedals will be discontinued and therefor go on sale during the 2024 Black Friday event.

Finally, Fanatec has revealed a new F1 sim racing cockpit at a few exhibitions and events. This new F1 cockpit isn’t available for sale yet, however, this and the CSL cockpit cover the mid-range and premium cockpit market. The older RennSport V2 cockpit could therefor be discontinued and be available for a much lower price during Black Friday.

Are there any new product announcements for 2024?

Fanatec often reveals limited edition products during their sale events. Last year we saw a limited edition F1 2023 steering wheel that had limited stock available. So we may see a similar style product this year.

The Fanatec ClubSport F1 2023 Limited Edition steering wheel was revealed and launched with only 2023 units available for sale. View our guide on this new Fanatec F1 2023 steering wheel here.

Fanatec also created some exclusive Black Friday bundles that include a variety of products into individual bundles. Many of these bundles include the new QR2 quick release adapter in combination with a racing wheel or wheel base.

How big are Fanatec discounts during Black Friday?

Fanatec has been known to release some pretty large discounts on their products for Black Friday. Recently we’ve seen €200 knocked off the price of a CSL DD when purchased with another product. And we’ve also seen the premium Podium range be discounted heavily at various points throughout the year.

The maximum discounts available during the 2024 Fanatec Black Friday sale is up to 54% off, which is on the ClubSport Forza Motorsport Wheel Rim.

Is it worth buying Fanatec products during the Black Friday sale?

Buying Fanatec products at Black Friday is always a good option. Fanatec doesn’t often reduce the price of their products and very rarely runs deals and discounts throughout the year.

Black Friday always represents the best chance of grabbing a Fanatec product at a lower price than the rest of the year, and that is once again true in 2024.

Where can I see all Fanatec discounts?

The best place to see all of the discounts Fanatec is offering is right here. We have listed every single item that is for sale across this period above. If any new products are further discounted or added to the sale, we will update the list above as soon as possible.

Check back here regularly to see if any new sim racing products are added or if any discounts have changed. We will try to keep this list updated with stock levels, as we are sure that some products will sell out rather quickly.

How much stock is available throughout the sale?

Fanatec normally reduces the price of just a set number of stock. This limits how many of each sim racing product can be purchased at a discounted price. We expect this to be the same through this year’s Fanatec Black Friday sale.

The sale starts on Tuesday 26th November and ends on Monday 2nd December 2024. During this time, products will likely start to sell out the further through the weekend we get. Fanatec has allocated a set number of units for the Black Friday sale, and once these are sold out, the price will return to normal.

You certainly shouldn’t purchase any sim racing product just because it’s discounted. But if you do fancy any of the sim racing products on offer, it would be wise to purchase them early rather than later. If you leave it until later in the weekend, there is the risk that it could become sold out.

In past years, Fanatec has included a stock counter on each product page. This is a great way to quickly see the stock levels remaining for each sim racing product. You will then be able to judge the timing of any potential purchase based on the levels of stock remaining.

Will the Fanatec CSL DD or GT DD Pro be discounted in Black Friday?

Generally, we don’t see any discounts to Fanatec’s most popular racing wheels, the CSL DD and GT DD Pro. However, Fanatec has announced discounts to both the CSL DD and GT DD Pro wheels.

The CSL DD is available in a complete Ready2Race bundle with a set of CSL Pedals and the WRC wheel rim. The GT DD Pro is available on its own with a QR2 base-side adapter. Both of these popular wheel bases are discounted during Black Friday 2024.

Will the Fanatec ClubSport DD or DD+ be discounted?

With the brand new ClubSport DD and DD+ wheel bases only just being announced and the official launch on the 7th November, it is almost certain that neither of these direct drive wheel bases will be included in any sale.

These products are simply too new to be discounted already. If you do fancy picking up a ClubSport DD wheel base, you’re best off simply ordering it when you can, as it probably won’t be in any sort of sale in the near future.
