Everyone likes free things - and we have good news for you in this regard: Not one, but two giveaways are starting this December!

Depending on where you are in the world, we're entering that part of the year where we celebrate friends and family, buy stuff for them and then get into arguments. We're going to be joining this tradition and celebrate our community, our big family of people from all over the globe who come together to share our passion and knowledge for all things sim racing, by giving you stuff - for FREE. So, in the spirit of the season, Happy Thanks Giveaway!

That's right. Not one, but two giveaways are starting this December!

You, the members of this community, modders, club members, race fans, experts, are OverTake.

Behind the scenes, we're continually working to improve your experience and add value, be that via advice on getting set up with the right hardware or featuring the best community modder content, as well as making sure the website and forum are useful and intuitive. We appreciate all the feedback we get on all these things, and it's our priority to keep on improving.

So, in an effort to give back and have some fun, we have good news to share. In the months and weeks ahead, we will be collaborating with top simracing brands to bring you exciting giveways, which will hopefully give all of you a real chance to win some exciting hardware!

Fanatec Giveaway From December 1-7​

We are starting with our latest collaboration with the legendary simracing brand Fanatac, a major player in the simracing world as we all know.

It’s simple, in the spirtit of the coming holidays we will be doing an Advent calendar for seven days and starting on December 1st, we will be giving away one piece of hardware a day.

So, how does it work? To participate, you just need to keep the following in mind:
  • Register at OverTake.gg if you’re not already a member of course ;)
  • Each day, we'll feature a new prize.
  • Visit the website to find out if you’ve won.
  • That’s it!

In the meantime, we are also working on extending those seven days to 24 to have a full advent calendar! But that’s not all.

Win Prizes Every Month, Starting With SimLab Pedals In December & January​

Next, we've partnered with SimLab, who as you may already know has become a staple in the rim rig space and created a reputation for high end quality and rigidity at a fair price. Additionally, in recent years they've ramped up and started chipping away at the vast sim racing hardware market with their own flavor of high-quality hardware and peripherals.

In December 2024 and January 2025, together with SimLab we will be giving away an XP1 Loadcell Pedal Set in each of the two months - and that will only be the beginning. There will be a giveaway prize for each month in 2025, so stay tuned as we unveil more prizes that will be up for grabs for you!

Why become a Premium Member?​

First of all, it's just 12 bucks a year to have a shot at winning a product that's worth much more than the membership fee - think of it €12 for 12 chances, one each month. Equally important, by buying a premium membership you are helping us run the site and to host your favorite mod downloads, as well as to keep offering a constant flow of new sim racing experiences, news and videos! We rely on your support! 🙏

We wish everyone in our community a relaxed end of year, and good luck in the giveaways!

All the best,
Chris

So what would stop people from making a few 100 accounts to cheat? Maybe add a minium age or post history to make sure people will not cheat?
 
Premium
the fact we have system admins that catch that kind of thing
Good to know - It was also just a question, because i have seen it before when a site says only an account is needed, then the winner is alot of times a new account that never did anything on the site :)
