well no very good news we are getting about Fanatec thanks to Corsairand what, less than two months ago, seemed like a completely intractable problem that was supposed to have a significant impact on simulation fans, has been solved in the best possible way, guaranteeing the continuity of a product line that has managed to build an excellent reputation among fans of the genre over the years.

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, Fanatec is Sim Racing a brand that has great prestige among engine simulation fansa market in which it has been competing for years with Logitech and Trustmaster, which together form the renowned trio of aces on the market. And while it may be less well-known than the previous two, it has carried a very, very relevant weight since its inception in the late 1990s. However, that doesn’t save her from problems.

So much so that about two months ago, in the middle of the dog days of summer, Endor AG (owner of Fanatec) has announced that it is entering bankruptcyan operation that seeks to resolve an unsustainable economic situation. It’s true, yes the German company said Fanatec would not be affected, but at the time it was just a statement of intent, not a certainty, as any option remains on the table in the event of a bankruptcy filing.

In this situation, we have been aware of the future of the brand ever since. A future that was surprisingly completely cleaned up Corsair’s announcement of the acquisition of Fanatec Sim Racing. The two companies expect the transaction to close soon and include current Endor employees who manage and operate the Fanatec product line. This of course means that Fanatec headquarters will not be moving from its current location and will continue to develop the brand’s future products under Corsair’s command.

Even better news is that Corsair has proposed an ambitious investment plan at Fanatec that we can bet on. will lead to growth in the brand catalog and in addition, Corsair has already confirmed this by significantly improving the availability of the brand’s devices, which will now be able to use the Milpitas distribution channel.
