The table mount is the stoutest table mounting unit I have seen.
You’re paying good money for these units, I would expect to see some type of insert. There was however, no literature packaged with any of the units. All of the necessary hardware was also packaged separately in the boxes. It keeps them from collecting dust and keeps them nice and clean when you’re ready to plug them in and go racing. A really nice touch.These bags are useful for storage, especially the different wheels when not in use. Removing the unit and foam from the box you will find each unit packaged in a nice black drawstring tyvec bags like a fine bottle of wine. Inside the inner boxes, each unit was well packed with hard form fitted foam to prevent damage and movement during shipping. Starting with” Fireworks”,” Champagne”,” Grid Girls” and “not included” on the final panel. The box for the Formula wheel was kind of cool as it has a word on each flap to start building the excitement as you open the box to uncrate the unit. On the back of the box is a picture of the contents along with the highlighted features of each piece. The boxes have pictures of the included equipment photographed from the front on the front of the boxes and from the left and right on the respective sides. Each unit was delivered separately boxed even though these are considered presale units (I assumed they would all be shipped together). Each unit was double packed in an outer case and the unit packaging as you would see on a store shelf. The way they are packaged just sets the tone from the git go that these are quality pieces. I had selected to test the Club Sport elite pedals, the two wheels (BMW and Formula), the CSR base unit and the table mount. I am a firm believer in the old adage “You get what you pay for” and for thirty one years the company I worked for always said to us “You only get one time to make a first impression.”I have to tell you I was impressed from the very first moment I opened the packages I received from Fanatec. The units I tested were the Club Sport Formula wheel, the Club Sport BMW wheel, the table mount, the base unit and the Club Sport Elite pedals. Having raced real cars for the past thirty five years and having played racing simulators since the early days of GPL and World Circuit I thought this was a great opportunity to try out this new equipment for the home racer. I was one of the lucky people to be selected to be a beta tester for the new Fanatec Sports Wheels and Club Sport Pedals (V2). You can find his in-depth review that he originally wrote for the World of Mass Development forum below. Chris Mosley has been one of the lucky sim racers that was selected as community tester for Fanatec’s ClubSport wheel.
