Is "https://stage.fanatec.com" a fake website?
I came across the website "https://stage.fanatec.com". Is this a real Fanatec website or is it a fake website?
I'm asking because I'm surprised that the site looks absolutely real and that items can be ordered there that are listed as "sold out" on the regular Fanatec website.

fanatec domain self belongs to the fanatec, real yes. but i not know what that stage stuff is.
Stage/Staging is a common term for testing environments.
So it's very likely to be their test website. Not sure why it's available from outside their network though.
It probably isn't connected to any production systems though. Which is also why the stock status may be different to the real site. The stock data isn't real.
So no, it's not fake. But no reason for you to use it either.
Ok, that explains it. Thanks for the answer!
