![]() We’re incredibly proud of our partnership with the game and to be delivering the only official Direct Drive wheel for Gran Turismo. ![]() It is the 25th anniversary of Gran Turismo but also the 25th anniversary of Fanatec! It took a little while to make the official GT steering wheel but I hope the wait was worth it. Gran Turismo’s stunning presentation and fun challenges built on top of a realistic physics engine means that Gran Turismo 7 will become the entry point into sim racing for a whole new generation of gamers. I’m just getting started with the game, but clearly it is another landmark title in this great series, and has been praised by critics and life-long fans alike. I want to offer my congratulations to Sony and Polyphony Digital for the successful launch of Gran Turismo 7. So in short: If you plan to purchase something from us in the near future then this weekend would be the right time to do it. We are keeping the changes to a minimum, and will continue to work hard to offer great value, innovation, and performance across the entire Fanatec product range. We wanted to give you a heads-up before we apply the price increases next week. Following a reassessment of our price structure, we have also been able to lower the price of a small number of products due to a good currency exchange rate (the price decreases have already been applied today). However, it’s not a blanket increase across all products, and I’m happy to say that we’ve been able to keep many products the same, including retaining the basic pricing for the core component in our ecosystem: the Wheel Bases. Starting March 17th 2022, several products across our CSL, ClubSport, and Podium lines will increase in price. Shipping costs increased not just by a few percent but are now multiples of what we had before and don't get me started about stupid prices for chips as the shortage continues until 2023. We’ve been absorbing and managing this for more than a year, in the hope that the situation would improve, but it is now time to make some adjustments. Increased costs is the reality of manufacturing electromechanical products in the current global climate. This time I have to blog about something rather unfortunate.
