Pros
- Should have saved that 70 and put it towards Black Friday Fanatec sell and not race on a tonka toy
- But they're still the cheapest entry option for a >5Nm bundle at 500 Euro (wheelbase, steering wheel, 2 basic pedals and 1 load cell + any decent power supply) you can get + it doesn't lose value fast which makes for a great first buy
- Fanatec is the king of accessories. They have lots of rims, shifters, pedals and so on, and come it with new ones all the time. ... outside of there entry level rims, the build quality is excellent.
- Fanatec still holds its weight in terms of quality and performance. They’re just behind most other brands at the moment. The dd1/2 although still being a beast of base are much older and have older tech.
Cons

- I bought several rigs for fun from Moza and Fanatec
- At this point I am really considering selling all my Fanatec stuff. Their prices are out of control and their products are antiquated. ... Fanatec's lineup is old, with less features, worse build quality, plastic QR, closed ecosystem, an...
- Almost everything Is upgrade after fanatec
- So many better options on the market now than Fanatec imo

At this point I am really considering selling all my Fanatec stuff. Their prices are out of control and their products are antiquated. ... Fanatec's lineup is old, with less features, worse build quality, plastic QR, closed ecosystem, and significantly more expensive.

Fanatec has more brand loyalty of all the brands, yet their products and services are mediocre at best. Their Reddit sub is more broken products than anything else
