    Pulled the trigger as well... looks like magnetic paddles and clutch on wheel are optional extras you can buy at a later date... Mid-Jan shipping...
    120 left

    If you wanna send me your 2.5 wheel base when you get your DD2 I'll look after it for you.

    Thomas said they would make an announcement about the Podium bases on the 4th of December in the comments on one of the blogs on the Fanatec page. Maybe they'll be on time. I think Aus usually gets shafted on product releases with Fanatec though.

    Haha... will be keeping my v2 as the spare if I have any issues with the DD unit... my current g27 spare will either be sold or go towards the daughters sim rig... but at 2.5yrs old it’s hard to gauge sim addiction just yet :roflmao:

    Yeah it’s currently in the “Christmas Miracle” category... :cautious:

    @Rolz food you see that the Podium got delayed until April? You get the choice of a free Podium F1 rim (similar to the one you bought) or for those that did buy the LE rim you can choose to refund the value of it from your order.
    I wish I'd ordered one myself now.

    No christmas miracle from Fanatec this year :(. April though... that sucks. Still a free wheel rim as compo is pretty nice.

    Silly muppets at Fanatec also let me know that there were 65 people pre-ordered a DD unit off the Australian Fanatec site... ::facepalm::
    Free additional wheel is nice, but yeah expecting it to be the same as I have ordered recently (just a different colour scheme)
    I really do want that new LE rim... will make a call on what to do if they also delay that one if they can't deliver that in Mid-January as stated.
    I'm fascinated what the serious issue 0.07% of units produced is... to delay by 5months... did 7 out of 1000 units explode, break thumbs or what?? :roflmao:
