Big news from one of sim racing’s top hardware brands — Fanatec just announced a major upgrade to their customer service policies, and we’re excited to share what this means for our Academy Sim Racing community.
As an official Fanatec affiliate, we’re always looking out for ways to provide more value to our customers, and this latest move delivers exactly that.
Fanatec is now offering a 3-year warranty on all products sold after May 2025. This is a game-changer. Whether you're investing in a ClubSport Wheel Base or loading up your rig with Fanatec pedals, shifters, or wheels — you now get long-term peace of mind included.
That means if something goes wrong due to a manufacturing defect, you're covered for longer than ever before. It’s the kind of confidence that matches the high-performance expectations of every racer — from casual drivers to competitive sim athletes.
Not sure if Fanatec gear is right for you? No worries. Fanatec now gives customers 30 days to test and return any product — no questions asked. That’s a full month to make sure the gear fits your driving style and sim setup.
Combine this with our in-house testing stations at the Afterhours Sim Lounge, and you’ve got a perfect system to try before you buy, either virtually or in person.
At Academy Sim Racing, we’re more than just an affiliate — we’re sim racers ourselves. When you order through our Fanatec link, you’re directly supporting a local business in Tampa that reinvests in the sim racing community through coaching, events, and cutting-edge custom simulators.
We also offer:
Expert hardware advice and setup recommendations
On-site testing of Fanatec and other major brands
Whether you're building your first rig or upgrading to a pro-level setup, these new Fanatec policies mean it’s never been a better time to invest in sim racing gear.
