Wheelbases: direct drive within reach
The wheelbases are the core of this for many sim racers Spring Deals. And rightly so! Direct drive is the technology where the motor sits directly on the shaft, without belts or gears. This means more detail in the force feedback, faster response, and a feeling that belt and gear drives simply cannot match. The CSL DD has been the most recommended entry-level model in the direct drive category for years, and for good reason: for under €300, you get a wheelbase that competes with hardware that cost twice or three times as much a couple of years ago in terms of driving feel.
The ClubSport DD and DD+ are for those looking to scale up seriously. 12 or 15 Nm torque, solid build, and an ecosystem that works with virtually any handlebar and cockpit. Not cheap - but a lot more attractive in action.
| Product | EU was → now | USD was → now |
|---|---|---|
| CSL DD QR2 (5 Nm) | €329,95 → €299,95 (-€30) | $399.99 → $369,99 (-$30) |
| CSL DD QR2 (8 Nm) | €429,95 → €399,95 (-€30) | $479.99 → $449,99 (-$30) |
| ClubSport DD (12 Nm) | €599,95 → €564,95 (-€35) | $699.99 → $664,99 (-$35) |
| ClubSport DD+ (15 Nm) | €799,95 → €764,95 (-€35) | $899.99 → $864,99 (-$35) |
For me, the CSL DD QR2 with 8 Nm for €399.95 is the most interesting item in this promotion. Those who have been hesitating between the 5 and 8 Nm variant for some time: the difference in driving feel at higher speeds and heavier understeer is noticeable. And under €400, the threshold is a lot lower than usual.
Fanatec Wheelbase Deals
Pedals: the most underrated upgrade path
Many sim racers invest everything in wheelbase and leave pedals for what they are. This is a shame - because the very consistency of your braking largely determines how fast you are. The CSL Elite Pedals V2 are the entry-level model with a load cell brake: you brake by force, not position. That's the fundamental step that makes your braking consistent over longer stints.
The ClubSport Pedals V3 go one level further, with hydraulic brake feel and extensive adjustability. Anyone who has ever ridden hydraulic pedals won't want to go back. That's not hype - that's just what happens.
| Product | EU was → now | USD was → now |
|---|---|---|
| CSL Elite Pedals V2 | €299,95 → €274,95 (-€25) | $329.99 → $304,99 (-$25) |
| ClubSport Pedals V3 | €329,95 → €309,95 (-€20) | $429.99 → $409,99 (-$20) |
Interestingly, the price difference between the two models is only €35 in EU during this promotion. If you're still considering upgrading, that's a relevant consideration.
Fanatec Pedal Deals
Steer: the biggest offer in the action
Fanatec has included the most SKUs in the steering category, with discounts ranging from €10 to €30. That makes this the category with the most choice - but also the most noise. A few products that stand out for me:
The ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5 X (€339.95, was €369.95) is the most complete open-wheel wheel in the Fanatec range. Titanium paddles, alcantara, RGB lighting and a solid button layout that works well in almost every sim. €30 discount is most tangibly felt here.
The CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT (€324.95, was €349.95) is a striking wheel for GT drivers - designed in collaboration with Porsche for Gran Turismo, but perfectly usable in any sim. Unique design, solid build, and now €25 cheaper.
For those boarding purely on price: the CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2 at €129.95 is the cheapest entry-level handlebar in the promotion and a logical choice if you are just starting out or looking for a spare one.
| Product | EU was → now | USD was → now |
|---|---|---|
| CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2 | €139,95 → €129,95 (-€10) | $169.99 → $159,99 (-$10) |
| CSL Steering Wheel BMW | €159,95 → €144,95 (-€15) | $189.99 → $174,99 (-$15) |
| CSL Steering Wheel GT3 | €199,95 → €184,95 (-€15) | $229.99 → $214,99 (-$15) |
| CSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC | €219,95 → €204,95 (-€15) | $269.99 → $254,99 (-$15) |
| ClubSport Steering Wheel F1® Esports V2 | €239,95 → €224,95 (-€15) | $269.99 → $254,99 (-$15) |
| CSL Elite Steering Wheel Porsche Vision GT | €349,95 → €324,95 (-€25) | $349.99 → $324,99 (-$25) |
| ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2.5 X | €369,95 → €339,95 (-€30) | $439.99 → $414,99 (-$25) |
Fanatec Handlebar Deals
Accessories: shifter and handbrake now substantially cheaper
The ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 is one of the best sequential shifters in its price range. Solid metal body, short shift distance and a satisfying click you won't soon forget. €25 discount brings it to €244.95 - a logical addition for those who ride in GT class or long endurance sessions.
The ClubSport Handbrake V2 is of interest to rally and drift drivers. Load cell, fully adjustable, and compatible with the full Fanatec ecosystem. At €184.95, one of the most competitive prices this product has ever had.
| Product | EU was → now | USD was → now |
|---|---|---|
| ClubSport Handbrake V2 | €199,95 → €184,95 (-€15) | $229.99 → $214,99 (-$15) |
| ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 | €269,95 → €244,95 (-€25) | $299.99 → $274,99 (-$25) |
Cockpit & Bundles: biggest discount in euros
The CSL Cockpit V1.5 is Fanatecs entry-level rig solution - compact, adjustable and suitable for most wheelbases and pedals. With €30 off (12% reduction), this is the strongest percentage offer of the promotion.
Those who really want to start without looking for loose parts: the CSL Cockpit V1.5 + Seat Bundle Combines cockpit and seat in one package. €45 off in EU, $50 in US. A complete entry for those currently sitting on an office chair - the difference in driving feel and posture is greater than most people expect.
| Product | EU was → now | USD was → now |
|---|---|---|
| CSL Cockpit V1.5 | €249,95 → €219,95 (-€30) | $299.99 → $269,99 (-$30) |
| CSL Cockpit V1.5 + Seat Bundle | €379,90 → €334,95 (-€45) | $449.98 → $399,99 (-$50) |
| Gran Turismo DD Pro (5 Nm) | €649,95 → €624,95 (-€25) | $799.99 → $774,99 (-$25) |
The Gran Turismo DD Pro is the most logical choice for PlayStation users: officially licensed, native PS5 support and a complete bundle with wheelbase, steering wheel and pedals. €25 off is modest at this price point, but for a complete set that works straight away, it's a solid option.
Fanatec Cockpit & Bundle Deals
Bundles: discount goes automatically
Fanatec automatically applies discounts to all soft bundles containing a discounted product. So if you put together a complete set, there is no need to calculate or compare - the lower price is passed on directly. That also makes this a good time to order wheelbase AND handlebars AND pedals at the same time.
Why you should not leave these Fanatec deals for too long
The strongest point of this promotion is not in one spectacular mega-discount, but in the combination of three things: popular products, tangible price cuts and extra value in bundles. Certainly the latter is important. Because individual discounts are carried over 1-to-1 to soft bundles, the final deal can turn out to be more interesting at system level than you might think at first glance. With that, this becomes exactly the kind of action many sim racers don't look at until too late. And that's a shame.
In any case, those who have been in doubt for some time about a CSL DD, a GT3 or WRC steering wheel, a load cell upgrade or the move to a fixed cockpit, now has a logical moment to strike. Not because discounting is all-important. But because these are exactly the category of products that Fanatec is normally less likely to be keen on.
Conclusion
The Fanatec Spring Deals 2026 are especially interesting because they focus on products that many sim racers are actually looking for: entry-level direct-drive, popular steering wheels, usable upgrades and cockpit base. For me, the CSL DD QR2, CSL Elite Pedals V2, ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 and CSL Cockpit V1.5 stand out the most. If you have long been looking for an excuse to build your setup smarter or finally make the move to direct drive, then this is an action you should seriously consider.
