The Best Black Friday 2024 Deals For Racing Gamers
Black Friday is almost here, which means stores across the world are competing to see who can start offering discounts at the most ridiculously early point.
Once a day of savings, ‘Black Friday’ has taken on a bit of a life of its own, and seems to go on ever longer each year. Not that we’ll complain too much about getting some good deals.
As well as boring adult stuff like kitchen appliances and vacuum cleaners, there are savings to be had for gamers, especially for those of us with an interest in racing. We’ve picked out our favourites so far but check back as we’ll regularly update this page.
There may be affiliate links in this post, which we earn a small commission on if you make a purchase, but it won’t affect our ability to tell you if something is decent or terrible. Prices are correct at the time of writing, it's possible they've changed since.
Gran Turismo 7 (PS4) – £26.99 (£24 saving)
If you hadn’t figured given how much coverage we’ve given it, we love Gran Turismo 7 at CT. Sure, it doesn’t tickle the same nostalgia as GT3 or GT3 but thanks to some excellent updates, it’s become one of the strongest titles in the whole series.
In case you’re yet to play it, it’s currently on sale through Amazon for £26.99, £24 cheaper than its RRP. Granted, this is for the PS4 disc version – although you can pay £10 through the PS Store to upgrade to the PS5 version once you’ve got it, which is still a considerable saving when you consider that it would normally cost £70 on its own.

PlayStation 5 – £399.99 (£80 saving)
Well, you’ll need something to play Gran Turismo on, right? Oh, and Astro Bot. Yes, we play games without cars occasionally.
It’s pretty rare to see big discounts on PlayStation 5 consoles, so now is a great time to pick one up if you’re thinking about it. The Slim version which includes the disc drive is £399.99, although you can pick it up without for £309.99
That said, if you’re even in two minds about wanting a disc drive, definitely pick the version with it up now. Buying them separately is a well-known and expensive problem in the UK.

GT Omega ART Racing Cockpit – £129.95 (£75 saving)
When we reviewed GT Omega’s ART Racing Cockpit earlier this year, we said the steel frame was punching above its £199.95 asking price.
Well, even better, you can get it for dramatically cheaper than that right from GT Omega directly. It's yours for £129.95, although that’s without a seat – you’ll need to pick one of those up separately. Handily, with universal mounting points, any racing or real car seat should fit. Do you need passengers anyway?

Moza Racing R3 Wheel and Pedals – £359 (£40 saving)
Moza Racing’s Black Friday sale is now on. Most of its core sim racing hardware offerings have some kind of discount, but our pick is the R3 Wheel and Pedals.
This Xbox and PC-compatible direct drive wheel complete with a set of pedals can be yours for £359, £40 off its usual asking price. It’s a modular unit too with a swappable wheel and upgradable pedals, so it may be worth picking up a few other bits in the sale while you’re at it.

Forza Horizon 4 – £10.99 (£44 saving)
Forza Horizon 4’s days are numbered, with the open-world title set to be delisted from digital storefronts in December.
Although we are terribly sad about that, the result has been some consistent discounts on the game since that news broke earlier this year. In case you’ve yet to pick it up, now is the time to do so as it’s £10.99 in Microsoft Store's Black Friday sales.
Both Deluxe and Ultimate editions have some pretty mega discounts as well if you want to pick up more content for the game. It’s very possible this is the last time it’ll be offered at a cut price, too.

Logitech G920 – £179 (£174.99 saving)
Death, taxes and the Logitech G920 going on sale for Black Friday. The three things in life you can absolutely guarantee.
It’s the best time of year to pick up the tried-and-tested wheel, which to be honest, feels an absolute steal at £179 from Amazon if you’re starting out in sim racing, and it’ll last you a good while. I’m saying this as someone who used one for six years before eventually upgrading from it.
Don’t worry about your preferred platform, as both Xbox and PlayStation versions are included in the deal. Both work on PC, too.

Fanatec Black Friday - various deals
If you’re looking to get into the Fanatec ecosystem of sim racing hardware, or fancy upgrading your existing setup, Black Friday is a good chance.
Although the savings aren’t quite as incredible as in previous years (likely down to the German brand’s recent administration and then subsequent acquisition by Corsair), there are some pretty good deals coming.
From 26 November to 2 December, its website will introduce a different deal – although you can see them all here. Just don’t rush to those Clubsport V3 Inverted pedals before we’ve had a chance to buy them…
