Black Friday is undoubtedly the best time to buy products at discounted prices. Whether it’s electronics or everyday products, not to mention ready-to-wear, brands often slash prices to reduce their inventories.

For sim-racing, this applies to both peripherals and subscriptions. You’ll no doubt be aware thatiRacing has launched a promotion on its various subscriptions, with 25% off when you renew, and 50% off if you opt for a new account. Now it’s the turn of the racing peripherals, and Simlab has just announced its Black Friday promotions. We’ll tell you all about it below.

Simlab promo and duration

Last year, Simlab also lowered the prices of many of the products available in its catalog, including chassis. However, each item had its own discount, and you had to apply a promo code to benefit from it.

This year, Simlab has decided to simplify the Black Friday process by applying an automatic 11% discount to its entire catalog. Whether you’re buying a chassis, a bucket, a pedalboard or a steering wheel, you’ll all benefit from the discount, which will be automatically applied at checkout.

This simplifies the ordering process during Black Friday, saving virtual pilots the hassle of chasing promotional codes, which were only applicable to certain items.

As for the duration of Black Friday at Simlab, the Dutch company announces that it begins on November 7, 2025, and the offers end on December 1, 2025, i.e. around 1 month of sales. This is typically the period that all manufacturers choose for their Black Friday offers, giving you enough time to choose the right equipment and acquire it.

Products covered by Black Friday

As mentioned above, the 11% Black Friday offer covers the entire Simlab catalog. This includes chassis and variants, buckets, steering wheels, cranksets, shifters and other accessories.

Configuring your setup with Simlab

I find the chassis market quite competitive, with some major players offering quality products. Simlab is one of those brands where innovation is at the heart of manufacturing, with an emphasis on offering budget-friendly solutions. I put these two words in quotation marks for a rather simple reason: yes, if you take any Simlab chassis, you’ll find that its selling price is relatively low compared to the competition. Except that the Dutch brand’s strong point is customization, and as soon as you start adding elements to the chassis, the final price climbs very quickly. You can go from simple to double, or even more, in just a few clicks.

What’s more, and this is the major aspect of Simlab chassis customization, the brand offers different decks for Direct Drive bases. There are bottom-mounted, front-mounted and Fanatec base decks. So, depending on your peripherals, you need to choose your deck carefully to ensure compatibility from day one.

In addition, the brand offers several bucket seats for its cockpits. You can choose from those with or without slides, from Simlab and Sparco. Of course, prices vary according to your choice, but this allows you to have a highly customized chassis. That’s why I strongly recommend that you spend some time browsing the Simlab catalog, and find the perfect fit – or rather, setup – for your driving preferences.
