What recession eh. Guess they might sell well in Dubai but the market for these has to be minimal.
For me Fanatec would be better looking at providing a £500/£600 cockpit for mainstream buyers of their products.
I see Vision Racer selling a 4way D-Box system with the VR3 for only £13,899
Like really come on... :
You can buy a decent family car for that.
Prices for these unless doing via d.i.y (approx $2000) are typically extreme.
However none of them officially support consoles either which is a joke.
