Fanatec has revealed that its new steering wheel base will be shipping earlier than expected, or at least this first batch orders.
I’m happy to tell you that the production batches for the first wave of pre-orders (existing customers) have been shipped by air, and they have arrived even earlier than expected.
As you may know, there have been some challenging circumstances for all electronics manufacturing this year, with the semiconductor shortage and an ongoing shipping crisis having a global effect on production and availability. But we really appreciate our loyal customers, so we’ve invested extra money to ensure that you get your CSL DDs on time.
The first pre-order starts shipping from today. You’ll find your tracking number in the ‘Orders’ section of your account once it is processed.
We’ve also continued to improve the performance of the CSL DD with firmware development, and there is a mandatory driver update that will give you a better experience with your new hardware: ensure that you download Fanatec Driver 409 (or newer) and use it to update the CSL DD firmware and all your connected devices:
The update applies some fixes and performance improvements, including a smoother overall feeling and optimisations to the damper effect. The driver user interface has been overhauled and is easier to use. Check the changelog included with the driver download for the full details. Please note that all the reviews out there were made with the old firmware/driver.
Here’s a video guide to help you get started:
We remind you can purchase this steering wheel base for PC right now (deliveries by the end of November)
