Introducing the ClubSport Shifter V1.5

Earlier this year we had a flood in our factory in China which caused a long delay as all inventory and the machines were destroyed (and not insured).
We knew this will take quite some time so we used this time to make several improvements on the product to make it more reliable. The new V1.5 of the ClubSport Shifter and ClubSport Shifter SQ has a complete new electronics with new hall sensors in order to avoid any calibration issues and improve durability. The looks of the shifter and other functionality remains the same.
All customers who pre-ordered a CSS or CSS SQ will get a free upgrade to this version.
But there is also good news for the owners of the V1 version which we sold. All CSS and CSS SQ will get a warranty extension of an additional year so you do not need to be concerned. If your shifter is among the few which caused trouble then we will fix it. Of course we will only fix shifters with actual problems and will not exchange all V1 against V1.5 now.
The production of V1.5 has already started and the first products are on the way but unfortunately we cannot deliver all shifters as promised by the end of September. The shifters will be delivered according to the purchase date per region within October and the last pre-orders will be fulfilled by the end of October.
New orders now have a delivery date of end of November. The new factory has bigger capacity so we hope that we can start selling directly off the warehouses soon.

Great job and great service from Fanatec.
Thanks!
I just checked and it's still pre order.
I've been waiting over 6 months now, closer to 7 months.
Even better (not) those in the US / Europe have dates set that have been waiting less than a month..
Not a fair process at all
