Booey,
Did u split ur order? I can't remember.
I only ever made one order and it was a split one for the CSP and GT2 individually.
I got my email saying it was shipping out on friday and I still don't have a tracking number. I'm getting antsy waiting for this thing!
I got my mail saying it was shipping out this monday and I still don't have a tracking number aswell ...![]()
I think people just need to accept there is going to be a couple weeks between ordering and actually receiving your wheel. I ordered mine on December 30th and today it is out for delivery.
good for you ; but I ordered on dec 14th and nothing, and there are others that ordered even before me
so please don't lecture![]()
Did you split your order ( GT2 + CS pedals ) or did you buy the GT2 CS ?

I wasn't talking to you, or lecturing. I did not order the clubsport package, so my situation is not the same as yours.![]()
I'm just letting people who ordered individual items know that it is normal for things to take a few days.
When I ordered mine, it took a few days between the initial email and actually receiving a tracking number. Then it was another couple days before it showed the package being picked up.

Who knows, maybe this entire episode was an "inside job" to boost Thrustmaster sales- which Fanatec employee has a large block of Thrustmaster shares??

Yeah I wonder how many people pay the price for the Thrustmaster wheel, only because Fanatec has no wheels on stock...
...
As far as I know, Thrustmaster hasn't even announced a shifter. What good is three pedals if you don't even have a shifter option?
I just hope they learn from this, and don't do the same thing with new products.yes they announced a shifter at CES for this june. i'll bet we see a thrustmaster shifter before we see the new clubsport one
So my opinion is the shifter's out of stock issue is not the only problem. As the awfull technical service I heard they have, it's easy to believe it's not the only service where they suck at.
There was an immense market to sell steering wheels as hell but Logitech was out of stock, just like Fanatec was... And Thrustmaster missed the christmas sales by 2-3 weeks...
Looks like horrible business planing to me...
Ordered my shifter set in October. Still waitin'. Woohoo.
You can't "plan" when it comes to Gran Turismo. Logitech, for instance, launched the Driving Force Pro specifically for GT4, coinciding with the BS release date that PD gave them. Naturally, GT4 didn't come out for another year and a half, so all of Logitech's marketing effort went down the toilet and thousands of expensive DFP units sat around unsold, taking up precious shelf space with their massive boxes.
It's easy to hang around on a forum and bash companies for delays, but remember that even Logitech, the global leader in providing you awesome and affordable peripherals, can only act using the information and resources at hand. It's not as simple as "It's Christmas time, let's make 100 million steering wheels." They dump massive amounts of money into "business planning" but, just like buying stocks, it's all an educated guess and sometimes they guess wrong.
Actually, I think what they don't have in stock is the shifter and that is what is causing the problem with the clubsport edition orders. As far as I know, Thrustmaster hasn't even announced a shifter. What good is three pedals if you don't even have a shifter option?
