Corsair has entered exclusive negotiations to acquire the racing sim brand Fanatec, the companies announced.

Corsair is pursuing an acquisition of the racing sim brand Fanatec. In an update shared on Thursday, Corsair says it’s negotiating with Fanatec to restructure the troubled company’s around €70 million debt and cover short-term costs. Over the years, Fanatec has established itself as one of the most popular brands for racing sim hardware.

Fanatec customers have flooded forums with complaints about the company’s inability to fulfill orders on time and lack of customer support. Fanatec also delayed the launch of its ClubSport DD+ racing wheelbase over licensing issues. These problems have drawn customers to hardware from rivals like Simagic or Logitech instead.
