Fanatec will be launching plenty of new products in the coming months and the first three are now available for pre-order.
Sim racers can now order the Fanatec Forza Motorsport CSR Wheel, the CSR Shifter and the CSR Elite pedals. The products are already on their way from the factory to Europe as ??Fanatec promises delivery of the pre-orders before October 15.
The Forza Motorsport CSR wheel is the cheaper of the two CSR wheels aimed at console users, the wheel does not use the new wheel base that will be used by the CSR & CSR Elite wheels but Fanatec’s proven base that has already powered the Porsche line of wheels.
