Fanatec Introduces the CSL Cockpit

Today, we’re revving our engines to introduce you to Fanatec’s latest creation: the CSL Cockpit. Launched on April 4th, 2024, the CSL Cockpit is poised to redefine the entry-level sim racing experience.

Unveiling the CSL Cockpit

Fanatec, renowned for its high-quality sim racing peripherals, has once again raised the bar with the CSL Cockpit. The genesis of this revolutionary rig can be traced back to December 2023 when Fanatec tantalized enthusiasts with a work-in-progress prototype preview. This sneak peek generated considerable excitement, setting the stage for the CSL Cockpit’s official release.

A notable aspect of the CSL Cockpit is its position within Fanatec’s product lineup. While the RennSport Cockpit V2 commands reverence among sim racers, the CSL Cockpit introduces a more accessible option without compromising on performance or quality.
