It’s that time of the year again: All major racing series, Formula 1, IndyCar, NASCAR went into hibernation for the winter. Trees mostly got rid of their leaves (when you’re on the northern hemisphere) – or are right in the process of growing them (on the southern hemisphere).

And of course, holiday season. But most importantly: Today is black friday and simracers & computer racing fans are crawling the internet for the best deals in racing hardware, steering wheels, pedals, shifters, racing games and so on.

Here’s a summary of what we found:

Sparco Deals (Rating: Depends…)

Sparco, the steering wheel and racing accessorie manufacturer, also has an eye on Simracers. Offering up to 30 % on Black Friday. However, I found only a few products that are reduced, and in the “Gaming” category, I found next to none.

iRacing (Rating: Great deals)

iRacing regularly offers great discounts and it has become a routine for me to extend my subscription on these days – Black Friday being one of them.

Fanatec (Rating: Great deals)

If you’re subscribed to the Fanatec newsletter, you know already that they have some really great simracing hardware deals this year’s Black Friday. The thing’s, it’s also Fanatec’s 25th Birthday this year!

Straight from the horse’s mouth:

Hi Sebastian, It’s that time of year again… but this one is extra special! To celebrate our 25th anniversary, we’re saying thank you for your passion and enthusiasm for our products over the years with our biggest ever sale. Let us know what deal you are interested in on social media using the hashtag #FanatecBlackFriday!

“Hi Fanatec, it’s also my birthday, you know :-D”

Fanatec have a special dedicated deals page celebrating their 25th Birthday and Black Friday. Funnily, it’s also my own birthday today – how awsome is that?

Here’s a screenshot that will take you straight over if you click it:

Fanatec has a HUGE list of Black Friday deals. Head over to their Black Friday Deals page and see yourself!

Here are my personal top picks:

BIGGEST FANATEC DEALS

Firstly, we’re offering what is essentially a ‘free upgrade’ for some of our most popular products: The ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted for the regular price of the ClubSport Pedals V3, the ClubSport Pedals V3 for the regular price of the CSL Elite Pedals V2, and the Podium Wheel Base DD2 for the regular price of the DD1. (The term ‘free upgrade’ refers to the reduced prices on the ClubSport Pedals V3 Inverted, ClubSport Pedals V3, and Podium Wheel Base DD2. It is not possible to trade your existing hardware.)

Straight from the Newsletter.

Fanatec Wheel Mania!

Then, some very special steering wheel deals, with 10% off ANY Steering Wheel / Hub from the store, as well as up to 30% off some new bundles of two or three wheels combined with performance upgrades (the 10% discount on individual wheels does not stack with the bundle discounts).

Wheel Mania: Double Packs!

Wheel Mania: TRRRiple PACKS!

I know, that’s a huge wall of images. But a) who wants to READ on Black Friday, and b) that’s basically just like Fanatec is promoting their offers :-D. I for my part know what I want – or I am triggered by percentages, of course.
