    I've never heard of this (forum, email support, Fanatec themselves), so I don't think so. But I'm not in the UK so no first-hand experience.

    No, we remain part of the EU (for now at least!) which is a single market so no additional duties apply.

    Thank you for the clarification Gary, I'm not sure where it would be coming from. Thanks again. Tony

    What I understand is that Brexit will take place tomorrow formally. And since the UK are leaving with and exit-agreement (soft Brexit) there is no sudden stop of goods at the border. The UK and EU are still negiotiating a new trade agreement and they have given themselves until the end of this year to get this agreed in both parliaments.

    So there is a transition period until January 1st 2021. Until then not a lot will change for companies that do business in the UK. There is still a chance of a hard brexit if the UK and the EU do not reach an agreement before that date. Bloomberg still estimates that as a 50% likely scenario: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-01-21/no-deal-brexit-is-back-as-a-real-possibility
