Good no, Great news from Fanatec, thanks to Corsairand what less than two months ago seemed like a totally unsolvable problem, which was going to have a significant impact among simulation fans, has been resolved in the best possible way, thus guaranteeing the continuity of a line of products that, for years, has managed to build an excellent reputation among fans of this genre.
For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, Fanatec Sim Racing is A brand that has great prestige among motor simulation fansa market in which it has been competing for years with Logitech and Trustmaster, which together form the renowned trio of aces in the same market. And although it may be less well-known than the two previous ones, since its foundation in the late nineties it has had a very, very relevant weight. Which, however, has not freed it from having problems.
So much so that about two months ago, in the middle of the summer heat, Endor AG (owner of Fanatec) announced that it was filing for bankruptcyan operation to try to resolve an unsustainable economic situation. It is true, yes, that the German company stated that this would not affect Fanatec, but at that time that was only a declaration of intent, not a certainty, since in the event of a bankruptcy declaration, any option remains on the table.
Given the situation, we have been keeping an eye on the future of the brand ever since. A future that, surprisingly, has become completely clear with the Corsair announces acquisition of Fanatec Sim RacingBoth companies expect the deal to close imminently, and it includes current Endor employees who manage and operate the Fanatec product line. This, of course, means that Fanatec’s headquarters will not be moved from its current location, and will continue to develop future Fanatec products under Corsair’s leadership.
Even better news is that Corsair has designed an ambitious investment plan in Fanatec, which we can bet will pay off. will translate into growth in the brand’s catalogue And, this has already been confirmed by Corsair, in a significant improvement in the availability of the brand’s devices, which will now be able to take advantage of the Milpitas-based distribution channel.
