I'm not convinced it's gone. maybe the yellow version but as per Phil's screenshot there is another version of it that's all black.
https://www.fanatec.com/au-en/steering-wheels/clubsport-steering-wheel-formula-v2-1162.html it's back up for pre-order black & red

That's a different once. has xbox compatabilty and the sides are fully closed off like the old formula rim.

they also released another one the same as the limited edition one but it was blue instead of gold and had ps4 compatabilty

Yeah I didn't see that, the only real difference though is no gaps at the bottom (all buttons, materials are the same) and it's the same as the one in the reddit picture. Not sure if they'd do the limited edition one again, at least any time soon.

another Fanatec pre-order  ::)

I'll open the bets with a 2 month delay due to "issues found in last minute testing".

Well that's a good start. No new Firmware for the base? I heard they've encrypted the firmware on all the new rims so they can't be converted to OSW. Guess that makes sense now they have their own DD.

The Quick Start Guide states:
"Make sure you installed and operate the wheel base and the F1 Steering wheel firmware. You can obtain it from our official website (www.fanatec.com), refer to our download section.

Not sure I agree  :o the older I get the more I tend to pay attention to the instructions  ;) can save time & embarrassment  ;D
NEVER TOO OLD TO RACE ... being competitive can be a PROBLEM though.

Hey Phil,
just interested ...
what car/s are you testing it with?
I have one too but haven't had a chance to get into it yet (except to install the firmware  :P) .... maybe Sunday.

I have a gt rim and the older fanatec formula rim as well and I really do prefer the formula rims,  for me the gt rim makes me drive like I am drifting everywhere,  the f1 rims make me way smoother.
between the 2 f1 rims they both steer the same and have not made me faster dammit, feel ripped off, they both have the same button mapping apart from the dials, but the new limited edition one does look awesomely sweet  ;))))))

I have the BMW GT2 rim and I love it. I also have the old Formula rim which I like to use for the cars that suit the Formula rim.
I don't expect the new rim to make me any faster but damn it's cool to have the thumb wheels and encoders  ;D ;D 8)
And yeah it looks Great  ;D ;D
