I've gone ahead and pre-ordered. No point stressing any more about the auction, when it'll happen, if I have a realistic chance of getting a good price etc.
For those on the fence with the auction you can just preorder and if you win a auction cancel your preorder.
General problem for me is a shipment viz it's absence. My country "is out of region" so I can preorder it only via Amazon, but it's unavailable there. Additionally I'm not sure that Fanatec will ship it in time till the end of the year, and it's critical for me because custom house will double price af any good above $1000 since next year.
What is the difference between the DD1 with the DD2 motor inside and the DD2?
The DD2 is more powerful. The DD1 uses the same motor, but it is configured to run at lower torque (estimated values are on the product pages). The DD2 comes with a 5 year warranty, whereas the DD1 has a 2 year warranty (upgradable to 3 or 5 years). The DD2 includes a killswitch/remote power button, whereas it is an optional accessory for the DD1. The two bases have a different cosmetic appearance on the outside - the
DD1 is has aluminium panels, and the DD2 uses carbon fibre.

Thanks for the info. Why running the same motor with lower torque? is it the chassis of the DD1 that can't support the torque?

Because Fanatec wasnt happy with the original motor they were using in the DD1, so for now they have decided to offer the DD1 with the DD2 motor fitted, but restrictex to lower power(Nm) and have stated that this upgrade is for preorders only, but I assume that if they can not resolve the issues with the originally fitted DD1 motor they might well just leave the DD2 motor in the DD1 ????
Dominic, what chances to get DD1 (PC and PS4 version) in US this year at the moment? Just ordered pedals,shifter and handbrake at Amazon and the last thing left is base now. I could make a preorder in US, but I will have to cancel it if DD1 won't pass a custom house this year.

The aim is to launch in December, and we would like to get the Podium Racing Wheel (PS4 version) launching in a similar timeframe, but this is subject to change, as the products are still in development.
Someone also mentioned that a bidder won and was then able to bid on others which helped to drive the prices up, they were wondering if there was a bot in there placing automatic bids. I doubt that Fanatec would do that though, they are better than that.

Hi Dominic, any news regarding the DD1 bundle for PS4? Can we expect an announcement in December? Because I can't wait to add the podium paddle module to the PS4 rim!!!
