This Fanatec race bundle comes with:
CSL DD - 5 NM motor
CSL Steering Wheel P1 V2
CSL Pedal
This bundle takes $149 off the price if you were to buy each of them separately. This is a really good deal for a direct drive motor set up that includes everything you need to start racing. Direct drive systems are much quieter and responsive compared to belt or gear systems. The CSL DD is one of the cheapest DD set ups out there and is a very good system for beginning to advance users alike.

You can look up reviews for each and it may be good to look up comparison reviews as well to figure out what best suits your needs. The drive system for the cheaper units generally use gears or a belt. Gears are the most noisy as well as least accurate and powerful for force feedback (FFB). Belts are much quieter and provide better feedback control, but can be less reliable. Direct drive systems are the best in terms of feedback, noise and longevity but are much more expensive. There was a time that getting a basic DD system would easily cost $700 or more but the CSL DD is a breakthrough DD with an affordable price point. Many individuals who aren't sure of how much they'll like sim racing may start out with a cheaper wheel and then upgrade their set up over time. You can save some money in the long run if you buy something that can be incrementally upgraded such as the pedals, or wheel. Logitech has a better upgrade path than thrustmaster products in my opinion, but the wheel base on the T300RS is generally considered much better than the Logitech g923 so there are trade offs to consider.
I was planning to get the T300RS GT until I saw this deal which is cheaper than the T300 right now! Ultimately I decided that I was willing to shell out the extra dosh to get a system that has a ton of upgradeability - you can increase the torque to 8 NM with an upgraded power supply, there are pedal upgrade kits as well as wheel upgrades. And that would keep me happy for a long time maybe indefinitely without every having to buy another wheelbase and start from scratch. Hope this helps folks!

I still upvoted it, because it is a good deal.
