The Fanatec sim racing power upgrade I've been ever-so-tempted to buy for over a year has $150 off for Black Friday
25.11.2023 - 16:11 / pcgamer.com
Fanatec CSL DD / Gran Turismo DD Pro Upgrade Kit | Load-cell brake | 8Nm boost kit | Pedal plates | $324.85$169.95 at Fanatec (save $154.90)
This combo deal brings down the price of all the key upgrades you could want for a CSL DD sim racing setup. You get the load-cell brake, which in turn means you can move your current brake pedal to act as a clutch pedal. And all these pedals get shiny new metal plates. Also the boost kit offers more torque through the wheel, up to 8Nm. Now all you need is an F1-style wheel. Or rather that's what I need...
One thing I really appreciate about Fanatec's sim racing equipment is how modular it is. You can buy a base, wheel, and basic pedal to start off, then upgrade each bit as and when you can afford to. Which might come sooner than you think with this Black Friday Fanatec deal.
That's part of the reason I really like the company's CSL DD base, as mentioned in my Gran Turismo DD Pro review. You can pick up the base for around $350, or bundle it with a wheel for $480, and pick up some basic pedals for as little as $80. That's $560 for the foundations of a high-end sim racing rig.
That'll do for plenty of racing sim hours. I would know, that's exactly what I have to hand. Admittedly I mostly spend my time in whichever F1 game is current at the time, and thus don't have much need for the clutch pedal.
But to take that sim racing setup to the next level, you really want a clutch pedal. And a load-cell brake. And the full power of the CSL DD unlocked with the 8Nm upgrade. If you're not already familiar with why—the load-cell brake is a more accurate and realistic brake mechanism that can better portray a real race car's brake pedal, and the CSL DD is usually capped to 5Nm torque without the extra 3Nm provided by the boost kit.
You're looking at around $140 for the load-cell brake alone, though luckily this also sorts out the clutch pedal as you replace the current brake with the load-cell, which leaves you free to shift the leftover pedal to act as your clutch with a couple adjustments. The 8Nm boost kit is another $150 on top.
These might be more bite-size upgrades but that's still a lot of cash all-in. That is unless you take Fanatec up on its current combo deal I've just spotted over on its official website for Black Friday.
Here's the deal: you get the load-cell brake, the 8Nm boost kit, and the CSL pedals tuning kit (aluminium pedal plates) for the grand price of $170. It's pretty much all the upgrades you could want for not much over the price of one usually, plus some extra pedal plates that I'm looking at as essentially freebies.
I'm pretty tempted to just go for it with these upgrades right now, as who knows how long these kits and pedals will stick around for now

Disney games boss acknowledges 'a lot of demand' for Knights of the Old Republic remake, giving me my first spark of hope for the project in ages
Games industry head honchos have all gotten into the same hobby recently: Refusing to say anything about the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that got revealed at a PlayStation showcase all the way back in September 2021. It just seems that no one at any of the corporations supposedly involved—Sony, Disney, and Embracer Group—wants to talk about it ever since trouble cropped up at the remake's original developer Aspyr.

Playseat's pro sim racing cockpit makes it look like I mean business and is $100 off for Black Friday
Playseat Trophy | Sim racing cockpit | Red | $599$499 at Playseat (save $100) If you can spare the space (this racing rig won't pack down to a smaller size), this is one of the comfiest and sturdy racing rigs I've ever used at home. There's space for your pedals and wheel as standard, and everything stays firmly in place so you can really slam on the load-cell brake if need be while racing. Logitech aren't selling it any cheaper right now, so worth a punt on Amazon's discount price.
