That's the one. Great entry product. Although longers linked the fantic entry wheel which I didn't know existed at that price and they're definitely a wonderful product and where I will buy my next setup from.
I got the Fanatec DD pro set up in its very first batch. Nice piece of kit for the money and the price is more sensible now. I’ve since traded up. But I did have issues with the first unit, its replacement unit and a wheel. They have a repair centre in the UK but all support is via email and via Germany. Feels very different than modern support channels. They used to get there in the end.
Back then I was without it for a couple of weeks (and had some issues with the replacement getting through customs with its zero value invoice). Now I hear they are a nightmare. Selling so much kit after Covid and they couldn’t keep up. Have launched new products, new quick release connectors, lowered prices and have also moved distribution centre and they have been truly awful in the last 6 months, both for new purchases and repairs. Loads of customers had their huge orders turned back to sender by customs because their initial batches from the new place all had incomplete paperwork, but you had to find this out yourself. Then fight for refunds/replacements.
It’s defo on paper worth the extra money if you think you may want more than the Logitech in the short term. Buy once cry once. Heavily pushed as a posh first wheel setup. But I’d go Logitech every single time for a first punt purely because if there is an issue you just walk straight back into Argos and slap it on the counter for a replacement. And they get decent value used.
