Fanatec is finally unleashing its Spring Deals, a promotional operation that the brand announces as its “strongest campaign since the end of 2025”. From April 23, 2026 at 2:00 a.m. CET until May 4, 2026, the lines are moving on a fine selection of equipment. We know that Fanatec hasn’t been accustomed to massive sales of late, so we’re seriously considering updating its setup.

Please note: the prices detailed below are for the European market. For other regions (US, Canada, Australia, Japan), discount percentages remain similar, but consult Fanatec.com for local rates.

Direct Drive: CSL in pole position

Let’s start with the crux of the matter: Direct Drive bases. The CSL range is clearly in the spotlight. The very popular CSL DD QR2 in 5 Nm has had its price cut from €329.95 to €299.95, a discount of up to 9%. At less than €300, this is quite an opportunity to try Direct Drive, if you were hesitating. For those who need a little more muscle, the 8 Nm version of this same base drops to €399.95 from €429.95, a reduction of up to 7%.

On the top of the range, discounts are a little more restrained. The ClubSport DD (12 Nm) is offered at €564.95 (compared with €599.95), up to 5% less. Its big sister, the ClubSport DD+ (15 Nm), drops from €799.95 to €764.95, a reduction of up to 4%. Not insignificant, but it’s clear that the effort is concentrated on CSL models, no doubt to attract new fans into the Direct Drive loop.

Steering wheels, pedals and bundles: the full range of equipment

Fanatec has also thought of those who want to complete their setup. The Gran Turismo DD Pro (5 Nm)ready to use, is now available for €624.95 instead of €649.95, a discount of up to 4%. A great way to get started without worrying about compatibility.

An important clarification from Fanatec on soft bundles: individual discounts are automatically applied 1:1 to bundles containing a discounted product. In other words, if the CSL DD QR2 8 Nm is -7%, any soft bundle incorporating it will reflect the same savings. So taking a bundle doesn’t make the campaign any less interesting.

When it comes to steering wheels, diversity is the name of the game. The ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5 X is priced at €339.95 (compared with €369.95), a saving of up to 10%. For a more road-oriented steering wheel, the CSL Steering Wheel BMW becomes very attractive at €144.95 (vs. €159.95), with savings of up to 9%. Other models, such as the CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT and the CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2 are also included, with discounts of up to 8% and 7% respectively.

Pedalboards also benefit from these price cuts. The popular CSL Elite Pedals V2 is €274.95 (instead of €299.95), up to 8% less. For a more substantial budget, the ClubSport Pedals V3 are priced at €309.95 (vs. €329.95), with a discount of up to 6%. An excellent gateway to load cell pedals.

Even cockpits and accessories have not been forgotten. The CSL Cockpit V1.5 + Seat Bundle sees the biggest percentage reduction, with up to 13% off, from €379.90 to €334.95. The cockpit alone benefits from a reduction of up to 12%. The ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 and the ClubSport Handbrake V2 are also included, with discounts of up to 9% and 7% respectively.

In short, Fanatec is opening the floodgates on a whole range of products. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to take the Direct Drive plunge or upgrade a key component in your setup, this is clearly a good time. Visit Fanatec.com from April 23 to May 4. As is often the case, stocks may vary according to part number.
