Sim Racing Black Friday Deals 2025

Find Sim Racing Black Friday Deals with our Real Time Tracking on Fanatec, Moza Racing, Pimax, Sim-Lab and more.

Black Friday 2025 falls on November 28th, with Cyber Monday following on December 1st. But here’s the thing about sim racing deals – most manufacturers start their sales the week before, and if you’re waiting for the actual day, you’re probably too late. I’ve been tracking these sales for years, and the pattern’s pretty clear: the best kit disappears fast.

Every year I try to predict what manufacturers might offer up, and whilst I can’t guarantee what’ll appear (manufacturers are notoriously secretive about their Black Friday plans), I can tell you what to watch for based on past patterns.

Black Friday Survival Guide

What to expect: Discounts typically range from 10-30% depending on the manufacturer. Premium brands like Simucube rarely go above 10%, whilst entry-level brands might push 25-30%. Bundle deals often offer the best value.

Website crashes are inevitable: Fanatec’s site goes down every year without fail. Even popular retailers struggle. My advice? Know exactly what you want beforehand, have accounts created, and move early – ideally when sales first launch rather than waiting for Friday.

The reality check: New releases won’t be discounted. If a manufacturer launched something in the last 6 months, forget about seeing it on sale. What you will see: previous generation kit, overstocked items, and bundles designed to clear inventory.

Black Friday Deals by Brand

Fanatec Black Friday 2025

Fanatec rarely pre-announces their Black Friday content, which leaves us guessing every year. But patterns emerge. The big change this year is their complete migration to QR2, which means older QR1 stock needs shifting. Their DD+ and new ClubSport DD won’t see discounts, but older inventory? That’s where the bargains hide.

What I expect to see: CSL DD bundles (especially Ready2Race packages), older steering wheels with QR1 mounts, V3 pedals, and potentially the last of the DD1/DD2 Podium bases if any remain. The RennSport cockpit might finally get cleared out – it’s been overshadowed by newer designs.

What won’t be discounted: DD+, ClubSport DD, anything with QR2 pre-installed, new BMW and Bentley wheels, or the latest CSL Elite V2 pedals.

Simucube Black Friday 2025

Simucube are the sim racing powerhouse with the classic Simucube direct drive wheelbases dominating the market for years. We’ve recently added a bunch of their stuff – more to follow as we finally get our hands on the new DGX.

Moza Racing Black Friday 2025

Moza are Fanatec’s main competitor in the beginner to intermediate space, and they’re typically more generous with discounts. Last year they offered $70-100 off orders, and they usually start their sales on November 21st – a full week before Black Friday.

Expected deals: R5 and R9 bundles will likely see 15-20% discounts. The older R16/R21 bases might get decent cuts too. Their GS GT wheel and CS V2 wheel are prime candidates for bundling. The CRP2 pedals should see action – they’re excellent but need more market penetration.

Skip these: The new R3 bundle is too fresh, and the KS wheel just launched. Don’t expect discounts on anything released after summer 2024.

Sim-Lab Black Friday 2025

Sim-Lab typically runs a straightforward 10% site-wide discount. Boring? Perhaps. But on big-ticket items like the P1-X or their new GT1 Evo, that 10% represents serious money. They’ve had exceptional success with acquisitions and new products these past two years – their output is genuinely impressive.

Best value targets: Complete cockpit bundles, their new integrated monitor mounts, and any of their wheel-side accessories. The XP1 pedals might see their first discount if Sim-Lab wants to push into that market harder.

Trak Racer Black Friday 2025

Trak Racer typically run straightforward percentage discounts during Black Friday – usually 10-15% site-wide. Their TR8 and TR80 rigs are popular choices, and whilst they’re not quite Sim-Lab build quality, they represent solid value for money.

What I expect to see discounted: TR8 Pro, TR80, TR120, and their monitor stands. The Formula and Rally seat packages often see bundle pricing. Their accessories (keyboard trays, button boxes, shifter mounts) might get steeper cuts to clear inventory.

What won’t be discounted: Brand new releases from the past few months. If it launched after August, expect full price.

Apex Sim Racing Black Friday 2025

Apex Sim Racing is one of the UK’s leading sim racing retailers, and they typically offer strong Black Friday discounts across multiple brands. As a retailer rather than manufacturer, they’re brilliant for comparing deals across different ecosystems in one place.

What to watch for: Bundle deals combining wheelbases, wheels, and pedals from different manufacturers. They often beat individual manufacturer pricing by packaging slow-moving stock with popular items. Their customer service is spot on too – if something goes wrong during the Black Friday rush, they’re responsive.

Smart shopping tip: Check Apex’s bundles against buying components separately from manufacturers. Sometimes their bundle discount beats manufacturer direct pricing, especially when free shipping is included.

Pimax Black Friday 2025 – VR Headsets

Pimax are running something interesting this year – buy a Crystal Light or Crystal Super headset during Black Friday, and you’ll get your choice of either a 12-month iRacing membership (for new users) or a $15 iRacing gift card. Not revolutionary, but if you’re already shopping for VR, it’s proper value on top of the discount.

The Crystal Light sits at 2880×2880 per eye with 35 PPD through glass aspheric lenses. It’s sharp enough for reading pit boards and instruments without leaning forward. The Crystal Super pushes further – 3840×3840 per eye, up to 57 PPD, and a 140° field of view. Deep blacks, vivid colour, and the kind of clarity that makes you forget you’re wearing a headset.

To claim the iRacing offer, add your reward choice to the cart, enter code BF2025 at checkout, and complete your headset purchase. Pimax will email your iRacing code after delivery. Offer runs through November 30th.

Exclusive for SimRacingCockpit readers: Use code simracingcockpit at checkout for an additional 3% off any Pimax headset or bundle during Black Friday. That’s roughly £65-70 saved on the Crystal Light, or about £17-20 on the Crystal Super, stacked on top of any existing Black Friday pricing.

Advanced Sim Racing Black Friday 2025

Advanced Sim Racing is one of the larger US/CA retailers, carrying multiple brands under one roof. They typically run Black Friday sales matching or beating manufacturer direct pricing, with the advantage of consolidated shipping if you’re buying from multiple brands.

Expect discounts on: Asetek wheelbases, Heusinkveld pedals, Cube Controls wheels, and various cockpit brands. They often bundle slow-moving stock with popular items – read the fine print carefully.

Gaming PCs and Peripherals

Stormforce Gaming Black Friday 2025

Whilst most sim racers focus on peripherals during Black Friday, upgrading your PC might offer better value. Stormforce Gaming typically run aggressive discounts on pre-built systems, and a proper gaming PC impacts every aspect of sim racing – higher frame rates, better VR performance, and future-proofing for titles like AC Evo.

What to look for: Systems with RTX 4070 or better for VR, at least 32GB RAM for modern titles, and NVMe storage for load times. Don’t overspend on RGB – that money’s better spent on GPU performance.

The reality check: If you’re buying peripherals AND a PC during Black Friday, your bank account will hate you. Prioritise the PC if your current system struggles with VR or can’t maintain 144fps. Peripherals can wait; poor frame rates kill immersion.

Corsair Black Friday 2025

Corsair entered sim racing peripherals recently, and whilst their wheelbases are OEM’d from other manufacturers, their monitors and gaming peripherals see proper Black Friday discounts. Their gaming monitors – particularly the high refresh rate models – often drop 20-30% during sales.

What I expect: OLED gaming monitors, high-refresh displays (240Hz+), and their mechanical keyboards will see cuts. The Xeneon monitors are genuinely good for sim racing, offering low latency and excellent colour accuracy.

What won’t be discounted: Brand new monitor releases from the past two months. Anything with “NEW” on the product page stays full price.

My Black Friday Shopping Strategy

After years of watching these sales, here’s what actually works:

1. Know your target: Have a specific product in mind. “I want a wheelbase” isn’t specific enough. “I want a Moza R9” is. Research beforehand – Black Friday is not the time to learn about products.

2. Set price alerts now: Use CamelCamelCamel for Amazon products. Sign up for manufacturer newsletters. Join their Discord servers. Information advantage matters.

3. Previous generation is golden: The best deals are on last year’s flagship products. The Fanatec CSL DD, Moza R16, Simagic Alpha – these see proper discounts when newer models exist.

4. Bundle mathematics: Manufacturers bundle slow sellers with popular items. If you only need the wheelbase, buying the bundle for the discount then selling the wheel might still save money. I’ve done this twice.

5. UK vs EU Pricing Post-Brexit: If you’re in the UK, pay attention to where you’re buying from. EU manufacturer direct pricing often looks cheaper until you add VAT at checkout, customs fees, and courier handling charges. UK retailers like Apex and Advanced Sim Racing include VAT up front, and there’s no customs surprise.

I’ve done this calculation twice – once buying a wheelbase from Germany (thought I saved £50, ended up paying £30 more after fees), and once buying from a UK retailer (paid more up front, but actually saved overall). Check the total landed cost, not just the sticker price.

What NOT to Buy on Black Friday

Some things aren’t worth waiting for or buying on Black Friday:

Cables and adapters: The 10% discount on a USB cable isn’t worth the wait. Buy these when you need them.

Brand new releases: If it launched after July, it won’t be discounted. The Fanatec Bentley wheel, Moza R3, new Simucube Active Pro – forget it.

Popular items already backordered: If it’s out of stock in October, a Black Friday “deal” is meaningless. You’ll wait months for delivery.

Premium gear hoping for huge cuts: Simucube 2 Ultimate won’t be 50% off. Ever. Budget accordingly.
