Following the successful release of the CSL DD, Fanatec released the GT DD Pro a little while later.

The Fanatec GT DD Pro shared a lot of similarities with the popular CSL DD. It produced the same amount of force feedback strength and utilised a lot of the smae components.

Why are Fanatec stock levels so low?

The Fanatec CSL DD is one of the best-selling Fanatec products ever. It was the first small form factor direct drive wheel base that was compatible with consoles. It revolutionised what we thought a direct drive racing wheel could be, doing away with the extremely pricey stereotype.

Because of these factors, the CSL DD has always been a top seller since its launch in 2021. The high levels of demand, plus the lack of electronic components over the past 12 months or so has led to the current lack of Fanatec CSL DD stock.

Fanatec CEO Thomas Jackermeier recently posted a statement, confirming that the Fanatec CSL DD wouldn’t be back in stock in 2022, instead, a Q1 2023 date was revealed as the first possible chance of the CSL DD coming back in stock.

Thomas Jackermeier said in his statement, “The demand has been very high, and our production has been stalled by component shortages.”

“We will continue to work hard to address this bottleneck, but the effect of the semiconductor crisis continues to be felt across the industry, and I can confirm that the CSL DD will not be available again until Q1 2023.”


Can you buy the Fanatec CSL DD elsewhere?

The best place to purchase the CSL DD racing wheel and the GT DD Pro is from Fanatec directly. There aren’t many official resellers of Fanatec products, and anywhere else that does resell either the CSL DD or the GT DD Pro will get stock after Fanatec’s official web shop does.


Frequently asked questions

Is the Fanatec CSL DD coming back in stock?

Fanatec CEO Thomas Jackermeier has revealed in a recent statement that the Fanatec CSL DD racing wheel is scheduled to be back in stock in Q1 2023.

Why is Fanatec out of stock?

The reason that the Fanatec CSL DD, GT DD Pro and other sim racing products have been out of stock is due to both high demand from sim racers, and the lack of electronic components.
The lack of semiconductors throughout 2021 and 2022 has affected many tech companies, including those that produce graphics cards, PC peripherals, game consoles and more.

Is the Fanatec CSL DD worth waiting for?

The CSL DD is one of the best direct drive racing wheels that Fanatec has produced. It combines a small form factor, excellent direct drive performance, and a low price tag. Whether it is worth waiting for is a personal decision. However, it is a very good sim racing wheel base.

Why does it say stock available above, but when checking the products are out of stock?

Both the Fanatec CSL DD and the GT DD Pro are extremely popular, and stock is generally limited. All of the items above can sell out extremely quickly, and sometimes sell out before shortly after we have shown the items as in stock. We do our very best to ensure the stock levels above are accurate at all times, however, the high demand can cause stock levels to change incredibly quickly.
