SRH or Sim Racing Hardware, the company that developed a special mounting system that enables you to attach an SLI-Pro or SLI-M unit last year to Fanatec's Porsche line of wheels (here is my video review of it) and later also developed a similar product dedicated to CSR and CSR Elite wheels is now coming out with another, more radical Fanatec compatible product. They revealed it on their Facebook page last week and it is a full dash for Fanatec Clubsport Wheel or Fanatec CSR Elite wheel, consisting of two separate parts. The main part has two button boxes attached to it (left and right), while the SLI mount is an optional extra. According to SRH's Facebook comments they are still making small adjustments, so the final product might be a bit different than what you can see on the photos below. Hopefully we will have a full feature list for you to read in a few weeks. They are hoping to start taking pre-orders before the holidays and to ship out first orders in January.

SRH are also rumored to be working on other modular attachments for the this dash, so future should be interesting.

Fanatec CSL Seat that we wrote about in late November can now actually be pre-ordered. Originally it was said that it would be available for pre-order the week after news broke out, but for unknown reasons it was delayed for a little while. It is available both in EU and US online stores along with detailed specifications. Thomas is saying that the fist shipments will actually arrive before Christmas.

Fanatec also released a high quality video, showing their new cockpit from various view points and demonstrating its adjustability options, which there are many.

But wait, that is not all! Maybe the most interesting part of the news that was released today is the fact that CSL Seat photos and the video show the long, long anticipated Clubsport Shifter mounted to it. It is quite easy to confirm that it indeed is the Clubsport Shifter, because it is very similar to what was shown on the prototype photo that Thomas posted in March 2012. The final product looks much more refined thanks to its anodized black aluminum finish. This must mean that its release day is finally close and all we can hope is that its design has matured like a good wine. In case you do not remember any more - initial specifications for the Clubsport Shifter were revealed in summer of 2010.

I hope we will soon receive more information about the new shifter, so make sure you come back for more news.

It is worth mentioning that Fanatec is offering a nice deal for those who are looking to buy a new Clubsport Wheel. If you buy a Clubsport Wheel base and a GT Rim (combined price 699,95 USD / EUR), they will give you a Formula rim for free.

Regular price for these three products combined is 879.85 USD / EUR, which means that you get a 20,5% discount.

If you are from EU, you can buy it here and if you are from US/Canada, you can find it here.
