I read something ages ago about why they will not make PGR backwards compatible. Usually stuff to do with music rights and the like can put a stop to things, but I believe it came down to the licensing of the vehicles in the game that stopped PGR backwards compatibility.

I've email Venom to see if the charger is compatible with the Xbox one controller. If it is I'll order the twin charger and use it to charge both my Xbox series controller and my Xbox one controller (which I use for my PC).

I've cancelled the Microsoft rechargeable controller stand (£40) and have ordered the Venom Charging Dock with Rechargeable Battery Pack for XSX (£15). It looks as good if not better, is USB connected (it isn't clear if the MS version is as it shows a plug) and also has another USB out to charge another device. Seems like a no brainer.

Cheers for that. Just ordered one in white :)

The twin charger for £20 looks even better - I wonder if you can charge the second battery without a controller (so you always have one ready)?

I ordered one of them this morning myself but white one, I'm still surprised Microsoft just don't build the battery in the pad like Sony do

Yes, that is a better deal. Unfortunately for me it looks too long to sit on the narrow table where I want it. I figure a 15 hour charge with 1 hour recharge will be enough for me.
 
850mAh is quite low though, the official battery is 1400mAh or you could get a decent EBL charger with a set of high-capacity AAs for the same money.
