Fanatec Discount Codes: How to get a Deal from Fanatec

For a long time, Fanatec abjectly refused to publish discount codes, but since their acquisition by Corsair, things have changed – not just with the products, but with the discount they’re willing to give buyers outside of the usual Black Friday period. Fanatec now accept discount codes at checkout, and you can get 5% off your order with the code SIMRACINGCOCKPIT5. There are no limitations on that 5% – it applies to the US store, the EU store, and the other regional stores too.

The 5% gets you 5% off, but there are other ways to find a deal on Fanatec’s site. Further down, I’ll share my own methods for using Google to dig out buried product deal pages that might still be live.

How to use the Fanatec discount code

Add whatever you’re buying to your basket, then type SIMRACINGCOCKPIT5 into the voucher code field on the basket page and apply it. That takes 5% off your order.

That voucher code field sat on the basket page for years with nothing you could put in it. When I wrote about Fanatec deals back in December 2021, there was no such thing as a Fanatec coupon code, no matter what the promotional code websites told you. Since May 2026, the field finally does what it looks like it should.

Fanatec move their prices around a fair bit, and the prices I mention below are from 2 October 2026. Check what it says at the checkout rather than trusting a figure in an article, mine included. The product tables are our daily price monitor, so use those.

What’s changed at Fanatec

Corsair bought the Fanatec brand from Endor AG in September 2024, after Endor went insolvent earlier that year.

The April 2026 launch event brought the ClubSport Formula V3 wheel, the Podium Pedals and a new Wheel Hub that takes third-party rims. Then in May, a free firmware update (V1.4.2.3) raised the ClubSport DD from 12 to 15 Nm and the ClubSport DD+ from 15 to 18 Nm, and discount codes arrived that same month. Corsair also bought Trak Racer, the Australian cockpit maker, in August 2026.

Fanatec direct drive wheelbases

There are six direct drive bases in the range. At the top is the Podium DD (25 Nm) FullForce at $1,199.99. Since the firmware update, the ClubSport DD+ and ClubSport DD sit in the middle at 18 and 15 Nm. The Gran Turismo DD PRO and the CSL DD cover the entry level at 8 Nm (there’s a 5 Nm CSL DD too). For the rest of the market, have a look at our direct drive buyer’s guide.

Fanatec steering wheels

The most expensive wheel on Fanatec’s site is the Podium Steering Wheel BMW M4 GT3 at $1,599.99. You’ll find licensed F1, Porsche, BMW, PlayStation and Xbox wheels right through the range.

Fanatec pedals

The Podium Pedals Formula are the new top of the pedal range at $699.99. Below them, the ClubSport Pedals V3 – a long-time favourite around here – had their price cut to $429.99, with the V3 Inverted at $449.99. The CSL Elite Pedals V2 are $329.99, and the CSL Pedals are the cheapest set at $139.99.

Fanatec cockpits

Fanatec’s cockpits run from the CSL Cockpit V1.5 at $299.99 ($399.99 with a seat) up to the ClubSport GT Cockpit, which is $1,000 as a bare frame or $2,174.95 as a bundle. The bundle is on back order at the moment.

Button modules and dashboards

A button module adds extra buttons and a display to your wheel without you having to replace it. Fanatec make two button modules for the Podium range – the Podium Button Module Endurance at $249.99 and the Podium Button Module Rally at $309.99.

Shifters and handbrakes

The ClubSport Shifter SQ V1.5 does H-pattern and sequential in one unit, and it’s $299.99. For rally and drift there’s the ClubSport Handbrake V2 at $229.99. If your SQ starts mis-shifting on the downshift, I wrote a strip-down repair guide with some simple steps that seem to resolve the problem.

Bundles and Ready2Race kits

There are always bundle offers to be had. If you’re buying more than one piece of kit, look at the Ready2Race and cockpit bundles first.

How to find deals Fanatec don’t advertise

My personal favourite strategy is just to use Google in the right way. For the uninitiated, Google has what we call operators, additional items you can bolt on to a query to find what you’re looking for. Search for site:www.fanatec.com “SALE” and Google lists product pages on Fanatec’s site carrying that word, which turns up buried deal pages you’d struggle to find from the homepage.

You never know – the ecommerce manager might have forgotten to remove a product deal that was seasonal, and Google still has the page. You can always find something quite interesting by doing a few little tricks with Google, and that should work with a lot of websites too, not just Fanatec.

If you’d rather not keep checking back yourself, Visualping.io (or the Distill extension for Chrome) will monitor a product page and alert you when the discount text appears. It comes in very handy for stock alerts too.

The refurbished section

There’s also a certified-refurbished section on fanatec.com that’s easy to miss. Everything in it is up to 30% off the regular price and comes with a 2-year warranty.

Fanatec Black Friday 2026

In the years when Fanatec rarely, if ever, issued a discount voucher, Black Friday was the well-known exception, and our Black Friday deals page covers it.

Fanatec still runs Black Friday sales, though the public information about them is poor. My best guess for 2026 is a wide percentage off, but I haven’t got a figure to put on it. Fanatec, being my first introduction to sim racing, has a fond place in my heart. The FFB is strong.

In our Black Friday forecast, we rate the CSL DD Ready2Race bundles and the ClubSport Formula V2.5 X high. Ready2Race is Fanatec’s name for a base, pedals and wheel sold together. In February 2026 Fanatec cut its direct drive base prices by up to 30%, depending on model and region. That means even a smaller percentage off this November could leave you paying about the same as in last year’s sale. Last year’s Black Friday offers ended on Cyber Monday. Fanatec hasn’t given a 2026 start date yet, so it’s worth checking Fanatec’s special offers page from time to time.

No Fanatec Black Friday deals listed yet – check back. We check daily from 10 November.

The full forecast and last year’s deals are on our Black Friday page, and once the sale is over we mark every forecast there as a hit or a miss.

Good luck, and let me know in the comments what deals you find!
