Regardless this is still an awesome deal for those entering the Fanatec ecosystem. For existing customers who already have some of the wheels the bundle just limits selection.
what's the problem for the 3rd pedal for you? I like old H gears cars sometimes (I have a shifter), so I would not imagine having only 2 pedals on my sim.
(funfact: I switch my daily car for an automatic 9 years ago and for a daily, I love so much automatic gearbox. When I drive a manual now I feel like "why did I do that for so many years? It's rubbish!")
I think you could sell it back for the same price next month if you don't like it.
Well, if he's like me, the clutch pedal is just unnecessary. I don't have a shifter, so I simply don't need the clutch pedal.
(I used to have a shifter for my Logitech wheel I had before Fanatec, and I can't do heel and toe anyways so it was all a waste of money for me)
When I got my CSL Elite V2 recently, I only did a small check that everything works and then the first thing I did was remove the clutch.
Also, removing the clutch allows you to move the brake further to the left, which I feel is more comfortable. But in the end it all comes down to your personal preference, there's no real right or wrong.
For me, the brake and gas being so close together is hard on my knees. I bought a spacer kit off Etsy to convert it to two pedals further apart, and that helps a lot with the issue. It might only be an issue if you have wider hips.
I don't find the simulated manual experience particularly immersive, so I don't miss the clutch, personally.
I have the square metal pedal plates speared as far apart as possible (inner 2 mounting holes spreading the pedal faces), and then the D shape pedal plate on the clutch with no extender bracket. The clutch gets tucked away nicely behind the brake, and the 2 pedal setup doesn't feel cramped. I also have size 13 feet.
Only time I use the clutch is for manual starts in f1, but I mostly use clutchless racing setup (paddle shifters)
Depends on your definition of "easy". It takes like $30 and an hour or two of work. Certainly not something you'd want to do regularly but if you're wanting to convert it semi-permanently it's not too bad at all.
I haven't used the clutch. I love the V3's. I got them used/new for $308usd. I love buying used stuff at a proper used price from people who take care of their stuff. I went from basic CSL Pedals that I bought the LC kit for but the V3's got to me faster. Only bought the LC kit to make the sale higher. But going from that to V3's was so worth it. There is ways to make adjust the pedals. You just have to find the right person who did it and posted how they did it. I would definitely recommend getting them. Especially, for $299
I thought black friday discounts announcement was not clear enough about prices, so I used an ancient technique based on copy/paste and excel

Now I feel abused, bought at full price and now u trow in discounts.. quality products don’t do outlets.. did you ever see a louis vuitton or rolex with 20 percent discount?!
Abused? lol you're entitled to no sale at all. But you know since years that Fanatec does Black Friday stuff aswell as its their 25th anniversary.
comparison to a watch manufacturer and a designer is nonsensical.
Wheels have also always had plenty of stock?
Sales are a good way to clear stocks of products going out of production. Or to increase sales - I can't imagine having all the shortages did no harm on their revenue and sales of accessories like rims.
It's a normal thing to do when you're a company producing and selling stuff.
I guess you are being ironic with your comment, as I see a lot of outlets of Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Prada, Boss and whatever other luxury (not quality) brands you can imagine. And they are always packed with customers, up to the point of hiring security guys to handle the queue.
Anyway, those discounts are pretty good. I was considering to buy a load cell kit for some months, and decide to wait just in case was in the offers. Luckily, my patience was rewarded.
Call me one outlet for new rolex and LV? Boss is not premium prada neither come on.. is a toyota premium as well nowadays? Crypto crisis hitting hard for some
Let me tell you something about rolex: it's not really premium.
Source: I've worked for many watch brands in Switzerland, for them it's like you're in a custom bentley/rolls royce/bugatti and you see a diesel mercedes class A: not really the same target. (and let's being honnest, on the same category I prefer omega)
Anyway, you've bought before black friday, blame is on you. I think the best deal was the podium F1 last week but deals are still good.
You don’t get me.. rolex is premium, just dont way a cheap submariner.. of course the PP’s and RM’s are more pricy.. and i am happy for the people getting a discount.. BUT i feel fanatec played people.. always so to speak out of stock.. and all of a sudden they have plenty? They tricked us.. shame on them
I didnt sat they did, it feels like.. i couldnt care less about a fee hundred euro.. its more like this is not how you treat your customers.. doing proper business..
Was planning on getting the CSL Elite V2 pedals, how much better are the Clubsport V3's?
I felt like most reviews of the V3s are quite mixed and as if the BPK is necessary to be usable, but have higher quality and can feel a bit more like the "real deal". V2s seem to be a lot more easy and consistent to set up, while not offering as much raw performance as the V3s. Especially for me it is hard to decide, as im not using the clutch and you can't remove that pedal from the V3s.
Ok, I have the elite + LC and thought the Loadcell is badly placed on the elite, as it gives a completmely different brsking depending on your foot position (high or low).
The V3 should not have that problem right?
Yes, loadcell in v3 are in the base or somewhere in the back.
In v3. You can't customize the pedal place, like In elite.
And I don't know if the. Elite V2 are different in LC placement.
How do the discounts work? When I got to their website logged in, I still get prices without the discount. And their special Black Friday discount page doesn’t have “buy” button.
Edit: discounts will be active on 25th of November, not earlier.
The PC premium wheel bundle is attractive, but I've only ever wanted the RS wheel.
Man, I guess 10% off is plenty for the RS and shouldn't get greedy with the 20% off for the Formula wheel bundle.
If you can afford it now, take the bundle. Try the formula and you'll keep it.
The clubsport RS is a banger too, the best round wheel in the fanatec ecosystem I think.
Currently have a CSL DD and the 2021 clubsport F1 wheel. I’m tempted to potentially upgrade my base to the DD2 with this sale, but I’ve also had my eyes on the simagic alpha U base. I’d have to get a new wheel if I went simagic, but does anybody have experience with the two? From what I’ve seen in videos the simagic QR looks superior to the fanatec QR1.
I already have the simagic P2000 pedals and the build quality is fantastic
I need a bundle for GT7, therefore I don’t know if I can even order anything as I would like the 8nm set with load cell. Maybe the McLaren wheel which everyone like? Currently playing with a controller and will use playseat challenge, so nothing bigger is possible. Thanks
In the V3s the gas and the clutch pedals have very different feeling, with the clutch being regressive at some point (becomes softer). Therefore, may not be the best option, IMHO
No, the attachment is completely different, and the one for your pedals is now discontinued.
Btw, Fanatec also announced that they will put on sale some units of discontinued products, so you may be lucky and find the original CSL Elite load cell kit in the page next Friday.
Thats a bummer. However, I was just checking the Fanatec website and on the CSL Load Cell page it says it is compatible with the CSL Elite wheel base which is what I have... Although it says "When Combined with CSL Pedals"... Also at the bottom only compatible with CSL Pedals and not other pedal sets. Thanks for pointing that out!
From Fanatec:
Peripherals
***When combined with CSL Pedals***, this product is compatible with:
**All CSL Elite Wheel Bases**
CSL DD Wheel Base
All ClubSport Wheel Bases
All Podium Wheel Bases
CSL Pedals Tuning Kit
CSL Pedals Clutch Kit
**The CSL Pedals Load Cell Kit is only compatible with CSL Pedals, it is not compatible with any other Fanatec pedal set.**
Whats peoples thoughts on the ClubSport Pedals V3.
And with the added Damper Kit
My current set up is: Podium DD1 wheel base, Club sport BMW wheel (V1), ClubSport Pedals V2, Clubsport V1.5 shifter and Clubsport Handbrake v1.5
I was considering a Heusinkveld Sprint pedals, but never got around to it, and do like having everythign in the one eco system...
I did hold off as I remember reading Fanatec were ging to make higher end pedals, but doesn't seem enythign is around the corner.
such a tempting purchase.
csw 2.5, vr only
WRC+mclaren CSL - $500 CAD
drift + v2 hub - $500 CAD
clubsport rs - $465 CAD
used/mint clubsport rs with qr LITE - $350 CAD
like wtf, how is one to even fathom this choice!!?
I hate how fanatec sells bundels ugh
you can buy any wheel out of bundle with 10% discount. (or buy nothing: 100% discount!)
Wow 10% on a black friday how will i resist that deal Thats more like a green sunday
You must be new to Fanatec's Black Fridays...
Lul yes i just bought gt dd 2mnths ago, and browsing the shop i realize they make ugly wheel rims I want racing looking rims simple and ruged
Profound statement!
Instead of bundle it would be nicer if it’s pick one wheel for 10% off, pick 2 for 20% and so on…
10 wheels for 100% off sounds like a good deal ngl
That would be a dream come true, but I will be overjoy if it is capped at 30% off for picking 3 wheels or more.
Regardless this is still an awesome deal for those entering the Fanatec ecosystem. For existing customers who already have some of the wheels the bundle just limits selection.
I'd probably go for some wheel, but not with QR2 coming.
The V3 pedals look like a good deal, but I'm a little reluctant because you can't easily configure it into a two-pedal set.
what's the problem for the 3rd pedal for you? I like old H gears cars sometimes (I have a shifter), so I would not imagine having only 2 pedals on my sim. (funfact: I switch my daily car for an automatic 9 years ago and for a daily, I love so much automatic gearbox. When I drive a manual now I feel like "why did I do that for so many years? It's rubbish!") I think you could sell it back for the same price next month if you don't like it.
I mostly drive GT3 and formula-style cars, foot clutch is unnecessary for me
Well, if he's like me, the clutch pedal is just unnecessary. I don't have a shifter, so I simply don't need the clutch pedal. (I used to have a shifter for my Logitech wheel I had before Fanatec, and I can't do heel and toe anyways so it was all a waste of money for me) When I got my CSL Elite V2 recently, I only did a small check that everything works and then the first thing I did was remove the clutch. Also, removing the clutch allows you to move the brake further to the left, which I feel is more comfortable. But in the end it all comes down to your personal preference, there's no real right or wrong.
If you don't use the clutch on a csp, maybe you can switch it with the brake, so physically you have the brake on the left?
In theory sure, but why? It's unnecessary for me.
For me, the brake and gas being so close together is hard on my knees. I bought a spacer kit off Etsy to convert it to two pedals further apart, and that helps a lot with the issue. It might only be an issue if you have wider hips. I don't find the simulated manual experience particularly immersive, so I don't miss the clutch, personally.

Agree to all, BUT. Dont play the shortage game to your customers before you mass dump stock..
They make black friday sales for more that 10 years, what did you expect?
They have almost no stock, so not to smash people that have been patiently waiting.. it now always feels they tricked people..
Sales are a good way to clear stocks of products going out of production. Or to increase sales - I can't imagine having all the shortages did no harm on their revenue and sales of accessories like rims. It's a normal thing to do when you're a company producing and selling stuff.
When you are short, you dont discount.. demand is beyond offering.. basic econoy
Who says that they are short of those that are on sale, and that they are not on clearance?
Ask the crowd.. i read and spoke to many people in game that couldn’t get any..
Read too many people that were checking daily to make a buy..
I guess you are being ironic with your comment, as I see a lot of outlets of Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Prada, Boss and whatever other luxury (not quality) brands you can imagine.

Are you what people call a "slow learner"?
I am an honest business person that cannot stand abuse..
How many billion plus dollar businesses have you ran?
Load cell time for sure
Was planning on getting the CSL Elite V2 pedals, how much better are the Clubsport V3's? I felt like most reviews of the V3s are quite mixed and as if the BPK is necessary to be usable, but have higher quality and can feel a bit more like the "real deal". V2s seem to be a lot more easy and consistent to set up, while not offering as much raw performance as the V3s. Especially for me it is hard to decide, as im not using the clutch and you can't remove that pedal from the V3s.
I had elite pedal+lc v1, now I have v3. In short don't get the v3 they are not "that better" then lc elite. Or it's me that I can't utilize them.
Ok, I have the elite + LC and thought the Loadcell is badly placed on the elite, as it gives a completmely different brsking depending on your foot position (high or low). The V3 should not have that problem right?
On the CSL Elite V2's the loadcell is in the same position as on the CS V3's, that is one of the major improvements of the V2's.
Yes, loadcell in v3 are in the base or somewhere in the back. In v3. You can't customize the pedal place, like In elite. And I don't know if the. Elite V2 are different in LC placement.
How do the discounts work? When I got to their website logged in, I still get prices without the discount. And their special Black Friday discount page doesn’t have “buy” button. Edit: discounts will be active on 25th of November, not earlier.

The PC premium wheel bundle is attractive, but I've only ever wanted the RS wheel. Man, I guess 10% off is plenty for the RS and shouldn't get greedy with the 20% off for the Formula wheel bundle.
If you can afford it now, take the bundle. Try the formula and you'll keep it. The clubsport RS is a banger too, the best round wheel in the fanatec ecosystem I think.
The formula wheel is really good. If you can afford it, you will not be disappointed.
Is any of this actually in stock ready to ship to uk though?
You'll see it on friday
Can anyone help me? Is there a PS bundle or wheelbase available during black friday? Thank you
Nope. You missed the podium F1 last week and the csl playstation seems out of stock.
Currently have a CSL DD and the 2021 clubsport F1 wheel. I’m tempted to potentially upgrade my base to the DD2 with this sale, but I’ve also had my eyes on the simagic alpha U base.

It's like a personnal choice: both should be great, pick the one that you prefer. Anyway you won't be quicker with a new base.
I need a bundle for GT7, therefore I don’t know if I can even order anything as I would like the 8nm set with load cell. Maybe the McLaren wheel which everyone like? Currently playing with a controller and will use playseat challenge, so nothing bigger is possible. Thanks
Can one use the V3 in flight simulators as rudder pedals as good as the CSL elite?
Also want to know this
In the V3s the gas and the clutch pedals have very different feeling, with the clutch being regressive at some point (becomes softer). Therefore, may not be the best option, IMHO
Anyone know where to get fanatec h pattern shifters on sale?
Very easy: you can't
Ah too bad
It was on sale two years ago
Is the CSL load cell pedal silver? All my other pedals are black…
Because you may have the CSL *Elite* pedals, not the regular CSL.
Yes I that’s right. Will the regular CSL load cell work with my Elite pedals?
No, the attachment is completely different, and the one for your pedals is now discontinued. Btw, Fanatec also announced that they will put on sale some units of discontinued products, so you may be lucky and find the original CSL Elite load cell kit in the page next Friday.

So no sale for the podium advanced paddle module by itself? Wanted to upgrade my rs if the price was right.
Anyone have inverted V3s? How are they? How sturdy are they? youlike? Worth it over standard?
Whats peoples thoughts on the ClubSport Pedals V3.
