FANATEC Black Friday presence/absence announcement timing
The announcement of the 2020 Black Friday was at 7:13 on Thursday morning the day before the sale. Until then, everyone thought FANATEC wouldn’t hold the black Friday sale.
At the same time, the target product was announced on the official blog. And they offered 20% OFF for the designated products.
Timing of FANATEC Black Friday Sale started
The announcement was that Black Friday started “before” CET noon on Friday. But it actually started around 3.5 hours before CET noon. Immediately after, the site became difficult to connect … I finally put a product in the cart and got a server error. Put another one and get a server error. When I attempted to log in, but there was a server error. I’m not sure the server errors occurred due to the distance from Europe to Japan or it happened everywhere. But I think every area experienced the same trouble.
Some of Twitter’s followers, who had been trying to buy products many times since the evening, finally managed to buy goods in about 4 hours.

Strategy for the 2021 FANATEC Black Friday Sale
In order to purchase without stress next year ...
It would be better for each person to prepare in advance, reduce unnecessary clicks, and reduce the burden on the server together. (How conscious I am!
1. Make sure you can log in FANATEC official site in advance.
We may have forgotten your password, or we may not have the latest password.
for US and CANADA,

for Australia,

for Europe,

2. When products will be announced, Log in FANATEC official site and add them to your cart by FANATEC Black Friday Sale.
Normally, the items in the cart will remain in the cart for several days. I recommend adding them by Thursday.
If you will purchase FANATEC for the first time, please register your account before FANATEC Black Friday Sale.
In order to purchase FANATEC products from the official page, you must register an account. It’s too late to register after Black Friday starts. The server will be busy and you may not even register. Without registering in advance cause your hard Friday and your task to click will continue for a long time lol
Registration should be completed by Thursday, the day before Friday when the server will become busy. I will put a link for registering an account on the official American and European and Australian sites.
