Why the Fanatec CSL Cockpit Bundle stands out ?
A complete, ready-to-race solution

Big discounts: price & value
Initially available for around $1,380/€1,160, the CSL Cockpit Bundle is currently selling for about $1,110 in the US and €845 in Europe—savings up to 20% depending on the market.
For sim racers, this means access to Fanatec’s praised Direct Drive performance and sturdy cockpit at a price point that beats most standalone premium wheelbases or cockpits sold separately.
Design & build quality
Sturdy, modular, and future-proof
- Aluminum tube frame: Delivers solid stability during intense racing sessions, with minimal flex.
- Steel reinforcements and carefully engineered brackets provide added strength.
- Modular design allows for the addition of optional accessories such as a shifter holder and monitor stand.
Adjustability for comfort
- GT driving position with adjustable pedal angle and seat depth.
- Wheel and pedal placements can be tweaked for both tall and short users.
- Three preset positions: GT, karting, rally/NASCAR.
- Integrated cable management for a clean, professional look.
Quick and easy assembly
One of the bundle’s strengths is its easy assembly. Thanks to detailed documentation, you’ll have your rig ready and stable, typically within an hour—even solo. Everything you need is in the box, from tools to well-organized, clearly labeled parts.
On-track performance: the direct drive difference
Direct Drive technology is the standout feature in this bundle. Unlike gear or belt-driven wheelbases that dampen force feedback, a Direct Drive wheel is mounted directly to the motor shaft, giving you pure, detailed, and immersive force feedback.
