Sim Racing Black Friday Deals 2025 – Complete Guide

Find Sim Racing Black Friday Deals with our Real Time Tracking

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 teh classic Simcube 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.

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 VR Black Friday 2025

Pimax VR headsets see some of the most significant Black Friday discounts in sim racing. The Crystal Light typically gets substantial cuts, and the older Crystal might see its biggest price drop yet. VR is where you’ll find genuine bargains during Black Friday – manufacturers are aggressive with pricing.

Best VR value: The Pimax Crystal Light at Black Friday prices (usually around £800-900 down from £1000+) offers incredible clarity for sim racing. The wide field of view makes a genuine difference in spatial awareness. If you’ve been waiting to jump into VR or upgrade from a Quest 2, this is your moment.

Watch out for: Stock sells out fast on VR deals. Pimax in particular has limited production runs. If you see a good price on the Crystal Light, move immediately – hesitating means missing out.

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. Geography matters: EU prices often beat UK prices even after shipping. US deals can be incredible but watch for import duties. Check multiple regions if you can.

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.
